This bra looks wonderful and fits wonderfully, the embroidery is quite detailed and looks much more sophisticated than the pictures suggest. There is one big disadvantage, and that is the 'bubble' on the top (the non-lined part bubbles up) that seems to have to do with the bra was made than with breast shape, because my breasts are quite full on top, and if I were even fuller on top the lined, pink part of the cup would cut into the tissue making a quadraboob.
Very cute bra that is comfortable and not too sheer. I find it very comfortable and not too loose in the band (I have a 26" ribcage). I do have to wear a size up from Freya (28D), but these mesh bras by Cleo don't give me slight quadboob the way the moulded cups by Panache/Cleo do in a 28DD.
For those comparing this bra to the Sasha in 30H that I also posted: yes, the band on the 30GG is truly stretchier than the 30H, despite being the same size and measuring the same length unstretched. I don't know what's up with this, or if this is the case for all 30GG vs. 30H bras in this model.
For those who might be comparing this bra to the 30GG of the same model that I also posted: yes, the band on this really doesn't stretch as much as the one on the 30GG, despite being the same size.
The fit and shape of the cups was absolutely perfect. The round shape was amazing, the neckline lovely. And it was the most hideously uncomfy bra i've tried in years. There is no padding on the wires AT ALL. Just stiff, sharp-edged fabric. They might as well have left the bare wire against your skin. A real shame.
This bra almost fit and fit better than the 28D Cleo Jude, but I still needed to buy a size up in 28DD. The design is very cute with white flowers on a bright pink background. Even though I have a 26" ribcage, I find the 28 tight enough.
The bra is cute (mine was the pale aqua with fuchsia trim), but I've found Panache runs smaller for me than some other brands. I think this is because I'm full on top and need a deeper cut. I ordered the bra in a 28DD, which I imagine will fit and will review once it arrives and I try it on. I prefer the closer set of the Freya bra, but the Cleo band fits better due to my smallish ribcage.
This bra fits me quite well, despite the fact that I have a 26 underbust and ordered the bra in a 28. The band is much tighter than my Freya bra (a good thing). The bra is very smooth against my skin and should look well under clothing, but couldn't be worn with sheer clothing. I don't feel my breasts are too far apart, though I do slightly more prefer the depth of the cup of the Freya (Erin).
This is beautiful light pink base color with a dark dusty rose embroidered flowers and bows. It has only been tried on. Unfortunately I found out that I wear a 26 band, s it is too big for me.
I purchased this bra for my daughter but it is too big for her, this is a beautiful bra, brand new with tags. Unfortunately both my daughter and I will have to purchase custom made bras in a 26 band size.
Initially anticipated this bra to fit exactly as the Cleo Sasha: http://bra.pe/MqA/ because the style is exactly the same from the printed mesh balcony construction down to the bow and lace detail. The one major difference is sizing! I only ordered 1 size expecting it to be perfect but it is actually made too big. In comparison, I wore the Sasha about a day before Alexa arrived so I know the cups are made larger. : (
The other difference between the two is Alexa has soft felt sewn in under the printed first 1/2 of the straps. I have zero issue with Sasha's straps but maybe some others wrote Panache about the material so now Alexa may be considered more comfy for those folks.
*Decided to order the 30G for comparison and now awaiting to see if EITHER bra actually fits. This will likely take about 2 more weeks (ETA: April 3rd?) See here for sizes: http://bratabase.com/browse/cleo/sasha-6491/compare/
I bought this bra as a 'feeling bloated' / 'that time of the month' bra, when I usually require a bra with a slightly stretchier band and a cup size larger than usual. The band was tight enough when bought, but stretched out quite a lot after the first wear to the point that I could do it up on the middle hook at the end of the day, instead of the loosest. This should kinda be expected since the band fabric is very stretchy, but not too much of a problem, if like me, you sometimes sew the band to make it smaller with your fave bras that become a bit too loose yet you can't part with them! As for the cups, they give a nice rounded shape. The fabric is nice and not scratchy. I bought the bra in white and it also comes in black and nude. A nice comfy everyday bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Lovely bra. The longline stays down with aid of four bones. Cups fit like regular Sadie bra. The band was too big and cups too small for me (went with the 28GG instead).
I wish this fit! It's a very pretty bra, but I think I need to go up in cup size with this one. The band feels pretty good. I think the straps could get a bit uncomfortable, but not horribly so.
I didn't want to like this bra because of the colors, but it really fits well and the colors are growing on me. The band is nice and snug, the cups fit well without quad-boob, and it disappears completely under form-fitting shirts. It also gives a nice rounded shape - no pointyness just lifted and perky. No cleavage for me, but probably because my boobs are pretty small and somewhat wide-set. Straps can be tricky to get adjusted well - too tight and I get some chafing, and chafing is worse if they are too loose -- but some of that is probably the breaking in period. I think I'm going to love the fit of this one long term. Recommended - super cute if you love pink!
Like this bra a lot https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Its comfy and provides nice rounded shape and good support without taking anyones eye out. Sutble enough to wear to work but not frumpy, matronly or pointy. A nice, uncomplicated bra thats comfortable, supportive and fashionable.
If the pics are yours, this cup is too small. The breasts are puffing up out of the top edge of the cup. For a better fit, you should go up a cup size.
A larger cup size has gaping at the top of the cup. Thank you though
It doesn't seem like a bad fit to me, the cups are very narrow though, good to know.
I would agree this looks a good fit. When I tried the previous version in purple plaid, Sadie, the cups were just a bit too small and I definitely had over spillage where the lace lays. I can't wait to try a GG in one of these new patterns. :)
Does not fit. I am forever having to stuff myself back into it, Im always falling out of it. When I first put it on it doesnt offer any cleavage, my breasts are flattened and wide apart, as soon as I move even a little my chest starts to pop out and I get the dreaded quadraboob. It isnt even sexy breast spillage, just ill fitting bra spillage. I clearly got the wrong cup size in this bra
I've found all Panache plunge styles are just not cut for me. It may be the fact that the shape is much different than yours. Panache I've noticed seem to be for less bulbous breasts (hard to explain) but never give up trying different bras. I am always looking. :)
At first glance, this bra's fabric did not look sturdy enough to be supportive, but it definitely is. It's very simple but pretty. The white fabric is very sheer, so if you are wearing it under anything light-colored you may need another layer. It seems rather supportive and comfortable.
