I love this bra, I have several in nude and black, and wear them most days. I might be a little biased, because it's the first bra I've ever worn that didn't slide around and stays in placehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> The band is a little loose but it doesn't move. It gives a really natural shape especially nice under professional clothes. The straps are fully adjustable and short, which is great if you're like me and have a short torso, and breasts sit high on chest. I usually have problems with centre gore poking my bony sternum, but obviously not an issue with this bra. The straps were a little scratchy at first, but softens up nicely. My only complaint is that it doesn't come in solid colours. The nude is really nice and disappears under light clothing, except for the pink trim.

I also purchased this bra in a 28E, which was slightly too small for me (Especially on the larger boob) so I decided to buy the 28F.

Unfortunately this one was much too large on both sides, which is quite strange because the cup size smaller was too small...(I felt like the 28F was actually 2 cups larger than the 28E, but it is possible there was a manufacturing/labeling error).

The straps on the F was wider than the E, which I find a very useful and good.
The color of the black bra with the magenta trims is very vibrant. It is very very pretty
but I will not be purchasing this bra again.

I will not be keeping the bra in this size.

This band's so loose, it's ridiculous. Even on the tightest hook, it's very loose around my torso. It gives me quad-boobs of course and it feels as if I'm about to spill out at every second, though I believe that has more to do with my breast shape than size.

As pretty and lovely as this bra is, it really doesn't work with my breast shape. More so than any bra I've tried before! I've heard many people say that the fit is tricky on this one.

The cups are really shallow at the base, which I didn't like as I have a lot of lower fullness. From the base this meant my breast tissue was pushed upwards, but the top of the cup did not lie flat. I don't think it would have fit if I'd gone down a cup size and it might have worked a bit better after washing. However, there were other fit issues that ... made it not worth keeping. My breasts are very close together and the centre gore on this dug in a lot. The wires are also far too wide for my shape. The band is probably slightly tighter than the average 28, but not tight enough for me (25" underbust).

On a more positive note, the straps are fully adjustable and I felt the support was good, despite the bra shape not being good for me. It's also a really lovely design. I don't normally go for unpadded bras but I couldn't resist the print on this!

I love this bra. It's really tight, so I wear it with an extender right now. I didn't exchange it for a 30D as I was afraid that it would stretch out too much. It gives my breasts a very round shape and pushes them towards the middle and upwards. The color is a bright red, which I find gorgeous. I also wanted to buy the matching brief, but unfortunately my size seems to be sold out just about everywhere.

It's a pretty bra, but it did not fit at all. If I grabbed the straps and moved them so they were only 6" apart in the front, or if I grabbed the underwires and rotated them so that this was more of a balcony than plunge, then the cups would fit. However, neither of those is a realistic alteration. The top of the cup digs into my chest and creates quad-boob, even though I am not remotely full on top. Terrible fit. The band felt snug although it's quite stretchy, and the lace isn't really visible under a shirt.

Unfortunately, not the right shape for me!

A beautiful bra.

Cup appears to fit pretty well but the wires are not wide enough or high enough under the arm to enclose all tissue so it escapes back out and gets poked which is very uncomfortable. The fabric is not scratchy but a bit rough. One cup size up would probably be better but might be too deep and wires might still not be wide or high enough.

Wow, cups were much too small! Major quad-boob. The band was nice and snug -- almost too tight. Liked the bra, returned this size and ordered a cup size up.

This one is too small for me, I will write review of 32FF soon. Stay tuned. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Runs one cup size small. Band is too big for me and rides up but I do still wear it often and will be altering it soon. The cups fit perfectly. I also tried a 28 G and while the band fits on that one the cups are off. I am not sure why the difference, the 28 does have a slightly wider center gore. I usually prefer padded bras but this one gives an awesome shape despite the lack of it. Very pretty bra! I have it in berry but will keep an eye out for more colors in a 28 G. Underwires are wider than my Fantasie and Curvy Kate bras but it doesn't seem to affect comfort or fit in my case...will definately buy this one again.

I found the band very tight, I could hardly fasten it. It felt really unconfortable. I could only comfortably wear it with extender. So if you are between sizes, go for the bigger band size. (This might be a bra for all those who need a tight or below an 28 band) I wear ususally 30 bands in Cleo but I’ll need a 32 in this style.
Also it runs generally a bit smaller than other Cleo bras I tried in this size. It gave me light quadraboob even when I wore it with an extender. It allows less room on top than Alexa or Meg. But overall I found it supportive and it gives great uplift and the “Cleo George shape”.
The colours are a bit less bright than on the pictures from Bravissimo. I will definately try a 32J of this if I get the chance to.

I bought this bra because I read that it was the same cut as the Cleo Rihanna, which was slightly too small for me in 28E. Sadly this one is too big, the cups aren't filled at the top and come up too high on my chest. If you have fuller-on-top breasts, this may work well for you.

As other people have pointed out it runs a bit small. I ordered my normal Panache size and it's a tiny bit too small. I suspect a full cup size larger might be too big though. The band fits the same as other Panache bras I've tried.

The bra is very pretty, and I love the colors! It's not quite as smooth as a t-shirt bra, being seamed, but it doesn't show through most of my shirts. The fabric inside the cups is very soft and comfy against the skin.

The cups and the wire are to small at the buttom so it gives me a funny shape.(duckbill)
I think its more an 28g...

Updated on Nov 08, 2012 Flag this

I can't fill the bottom of the cups because the wires are not flexible enough and got a "V-shape" .
I need U-shaped wires .

I tried on this bra in a fitting room at Nordstroms, so sadly I haven't got any measurements. Though it was pretty on the rack, I was so repulsed by the fit that I got out of it as quickly as possible.

The band, though it has a decent amount of stretch, was too tight for me on the loosest setting. I couldn't fill the top of the cups, so there was a great deal of wrinkling. The center gore rose up so high that I couldn't conceive of how the bra could ever be comfortable. The straps were also difficult to adjust, though I did get them to a point where they fit. Maybe this bra would be better for someone with breasts that have more tissue on the upper side.

Band runs small and cups don't work for me.

This definitely didn't fit in the band (which alerted me to the fact that I was no longer a 30). It seemed like a nice, comfortable plunge, but was too bright and had cups too large to serve its purpose well. Not worth the money.

I got this bra after the Alexa which is the same model. The cup does run slightly smaller in the Sasha but not enough for me to get it in a larger size. The Alexa had a little extra fabric in the top and this bra is perfectly smooth. Still a great option for full on top boobs. The straps are a little wide set but I can live with it because these bras give great support and shaping. A nice round profile, no point in sight.

Update: After wearing this bra a few times its does shift throughout the day and cause slight quad boob. I do not have this problem with the Alexa. If I were to buy this bra again I would probably go up a cup size.
