    38H

    Didn't fit

    I normally wear a 38GG, but I had to go up to the 38H for this bra. It gives great support, but the underwires are a little too high in the armpit for my body. They poke a little bit throughout the day, but the great support and fun color make it worth it for me.

    The store advertised this as being "lime" but it's really highlighter yellow.

    38GG

    Didn't fit

    I love this bra! It runs true to size and fits me really well. It's got great support, and it doesn't make my boobs look pointy. The seams aren't noticeable under most tops, so it works with most outfits.

    The only drawback is that the underwires go up a little too high into the armpits for my body. They poke a little bit, and I have to adjust them occasionally throughout the day.

    38GG

    Didn't fit

    I love this bra! It is my absolute favorite, and it's super comfortable for all-day wear. The straps are a bit far apart on the shoulders, but they never slip down, so it's perfect for boat-neck tops or anything with a wide neckline.

    38GG

    Didn't fit

    This bra was at least a full cup size too small for me. I wear a 38GG in almost all brands (including several other styles of Cleo) but this one was much too small in the cups. I gave it to someone who wears a 38G and she says it fit her well, so I'd recommend ordering up a cup size.

    38GG

    Didn't fit

    These cup sizes were much too small. I wear a 38GG in most bras (including several other styles of Cleo) but this bra didn't even come close to fitting. I ended up giving it to someone who wears a 38G and it fit her almost perfectly.

    I bought this bra in a grab-bag sale with no returns or exchanges, so I didn't get a chance to try any other sizes, but I'd recommend ordering up a cup size.

    This bra is so cute. It seems to fit pretty well, although I would like to try one one cup size larger as it feels a bit like the outer edge of the cups sit on my breast tissue a little bit.

    30F

    Didn't fit

    Pros:
    a) It is flush everywhere except the lower quarter near the centre gore, where there is some slight gaping, but I think this may be solved, once I become more proficient at swoop and scooping, or have any amount of migration (which I am hoping for).

    b) It seems to enclose my migrated side tissue perfectly!

    c) Sexy!

    Cons:

    a) The centre gore sits on some breast tissue, but as I have not yet found a bra that didn't I will stick with this one.

    b) Above mentioned gaping.

    c) Shows through thin t-shirts.

    28G

    Didn't fit

    This fit similar to the Cleo Jude...which is to say it was all wrong for me. Cut in on the inner edges but was too big on the sides. Cups seemed quite wide set. It's a cute bra to look at but the ruffle doesn't lay very well and shows under shirts easily. Band fits well on the loosest hook (my ribcage is 28"). I returned this one....I just don't get along with plunge bras very well.

    28G

    Didn't fit

    This cut is totally wrong for my shape. It is reasonably attractive for a T shirt bra, and the price is very reasonable but it cut in and was too big in the cups at the same time. I don't know if another size would have helped, I found a much better fit with the Cleo Juna so don't plan to try this again. Cups seemed very wide-set. The band is a typical Cleo 28 and was snug on the loosest hook on my 28" ribcage. I returned this one.

    30F

    Didn't fit

    This one cut in on the top and band was too big for me, so I resold on Ebay. Really cute bra, I wish it had fit but I also tried a 28G and that one was good in the band but just too big in the cups...I would say it's a better bra for those who are full on the bottom. It didn't shape as well as my Lucy or Marcie bras either. Still the bird print is very attractive, the little charm on the center gore is a nice touch. Fabric felt very stiff but I didn't wash it so I don't know if it would have softened up.

    32H

    Didn't fit

    This is such a pretty bra, but it just doesn't quite fit me. My breasts are quite wide, and the underwires don't quite capture all the tissue; meanwhile, there's definite wrinkling of the cup at the top.

    It starts the day feeling pretty comfortable, but by the afternoon I can feel the underwires digging in to my underarms.

    32GG

    Didn't fit

    This bra cup was way too small for me, so I ended up trying a 32J (too large) and a 32H (slight quadboob effect, but seems as close as it's going to get.)

    32J

    Didn't fit

    The cups were too large for me in the 32J I tried on; I went down a size to 32H which fits fairly well with slight quad boob effect. (I had originally tried a 32GG which was too small as well.) Sent this one back; see my review of the 32H for better fit info.

    28E

    Fits

    I previously had bought the Cleo Ellie which is pretty much the same as the Juna in, 28DD but noticed it was becoming too small. I love that bra so much that I wanted to repurchase, however wanted something I could wear under anything so went for the Juna in nude.

    I absolutely love this bra! The shape it gives is second to none and it's so soft making it very comfy! This is my go to bra and if I had to only ever keep one, this would be it.
    It gives a nice rounded shape due to the slight foam padding. I usually don't get on with non ... padded bras as they tend to push my breasts to the front, in turn flattening them as them side making them look very odd. This however has a nice all-around shape. I cannot fault it!

    My only problems are first the straps which I already have to tighten all the way. I can tell they will stretch so this is annoying. Secondly the band is quite stretchy so I would not recommend for women with 26 inch ribcages!

    34GG

    Didn't fit

    Very cute bird print design, which is what drew me to this bra. Navy with red trim, including bra strap hardware, and white and gray bird silhouettes. Center has red bow with tiny bird silhouette charm.
    Made of semi-sheer mesh, which is a little stiff, and the trim on the band is a little scratchy. These issues may go away after washing the bra.
    The band fit a little loose on the loosest hook; the center gore was not flush against my ribcage. It seemed looser than the same bra in 34G (one cup size smaller).
    The "uplifted" look was less pronounced in this size than in one cup size smaller.
    Apex seemed a little high and puckered, the same as in the smaller cup size; however, the cups were too big for both breasts. Wearing the bra on the middle hook (tighter) did not help; neither did tightening the straps.

    Made of semi-sheer mesh, which is a little stiff, and the trim on the band is a little scratchy. These issues may go away after washing the bra.
    The band fit snugly but not tightly on the loosest hook and seemed tighter than the same bra in 34GG (one cup size larger).
    The cups cut into my armpits in the front a little; I needed to readjust a few times (wore for ... 20-30 minutes).
    Gave an "uplifted" look different from the usual roundness of molded cup bras; it looked like my breasts were pointing up somewhat.
    Apex seemed a little high and puckered, even though the top of the cup cut across my left breast, creating a "dent" that was visible with and without a shirt on over the bra. The right side had the same issue at the apex but the cup did not cut into my breast.

    Fits great. Band is a bit snug but not in a bad way. The one problem I have with it is the texture of the straps make them seem scratchy.

    30HH

    Didn't fit

    It is difficult to set the fit of this bra, because it looked to weird on me. The Band is fairly tight, felt almost too tight. There was empty fabric in the cups and were too big so I had to adjust the straps shorter... but then it got weirder... I got some gaping on the side under my arms on top of the cup but the lace of the upper section of the cups was digging in and gave me somewhat in-cup-quadraboob. I though this was because I tightened the straps so much. I also tried the bra with extender to see if the tight band causes the problems but it kept looking weird. So I figured this shape was all wrong for me.
    Btw the bra is even prettier than on the pictures... sadly not a good fit for me.

    I just read that there was a sewing error on this bra. So that explains the weirdness.

    • I have to say though, It looks much much better on you than on bras I hate. I can see the weirdness better from her pictures - I'm not sure if that's the sam kind of weirdness though. I think it looks rather good on you :)
      But seems like Alexa gave you better uplift?

    • It's difficult to show the weirdness on the pictures ecpecially with my crappy cam and difficult to explain. If I shortened the straps there was much tension on the seam between upper cup lace and under cup lace and it kept digging in and creating some kind of in cup quadraboob. And i had also that "pressed flat against a window look" like bras I hate mentioned. Maybe the position of the straps was just wrong for me and that made it look weird.

    I love this bra in every way. It's perfect on me. Great shape, very comfortable. I'd buy one in every color.

    I find the band to be tighter than my Freya and Curvy Kate bras. I suspect this is partially because the band rests higher on my back.
