I am so happy this fit well....it comes in lots of colors, not too expensive, it's padded which I like for modesty. The center gore is quite high and it dug a little at first until I took the gore in slightly (< 0.5 inch) and bend the top of the wires out slightly...it now is one of my most comfortable bras. The straps are the nicest of all my bras...very comfortable, soft silky material and they never leave a mark. I don't much care for the nude color but would definately buy it again in black or the fashion colors especially the Ellie! ...The seams are pretty discreet, they do show under some Tshirts but nothing like the 3 part cup bras I have. The lace doesn't show at all. Cups definately run small, I went up a size from my usual. Band is snug on the loosest hook (I measure 28" snugly) and I bought this used so I'd say order your normal band size. I also tried Cleo Jude which was so wrong for my shape....this one fits much differently.
Edited: As I keep trying bras and learning what works best for me, I've realized this bra really doesn't give the best shape. It's rounded but not much uplift and quite wide / spread out from the front. It still does fit me well, but I don't think I will buy this style again. Cleo's unpadded bras are much more supportive and flattering on me. Read more 151 more words
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! Read more 95 more words
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.
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.
Too big in the cup for me, so I resold on Ebay. Really cute bra, I wish it had fit but I also tried a 30F and that one cut in on the top...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. Seemed to be supportive though. Band was a typical 28 and felt comfortable on my 28" ribcage.
Strange fitting bra. One cup very loose the other cup very tight. My breasts measure identical. No other bra has had this problem on me.
Did not fit comfortably but did give a nice rounded shape. However, my breasts had quad boob whenever I put my shoulders back wearing this bra. Next size up was too big.
Bought when I was trying to figure out my post-weight loss size. The cups were too large for me both in width and height. This caused the underwire to stab me in the chest. Otherwise, it was a cute bra though the ruffle is a bit odd.
First off I have to say that I find this pattern hideous and if I hadn't received it as a grab bag order I would never have bought it. Looks can be decieving though because this is one comfy bra! It's lightly padded so no terrible nipple slights and the seams don't show under a t-shirt. The lace is rather annoying though and kind of pokes out but this could be snipped off if you need to. I have to wear it on the tightest hooks and I did have to bend the underwire around to mold to my rib cage but it's definitely a keeper as long as I wear it under dark cloths and nobody sees it. : )
** pictures with review are with the bra on the loosest hook and before I bent the underwire**
German only: Meine Kritikpunkte wären: -viel zu viel Nylon und Elasthan. Das 28-er Band lässt sich so weit ausdehen wie ein 32-er Band! Normalerweise sind 28-er für mich schließbar, aber untragbar. Den Lucy habe ich absichtlich ein UBB kleiner gewählt und das Gefühl, eigentlich ein 30-er Band zu tragen. -der Steg ist zu breit, er liegt zwar an, knickt aber in der Mitte zusammen. Stört jedoch nicht beim Tragen oder in der Optik, könnte sogar von Vorteil sein, da keine Stegbrötchen mehr.
Mein Fazit: Ich liebe ihn! (hat man nicht erwartet, weil ich am Anfang nur gemeckert habe, stimmts? https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> Aber beim gefühlten 100. Bh steigen einfach die Ansprüche, was die Begeisterung jedoch nicht mindert) Für ein 28-er Band sind die Bügel erstaunlich schmal, sonst habe ich in diesem Größenberei immer Probleme mit viel zu weiten Bügeln. Diese sitzen perfekt.
This bra was so comfortable in the Cleo Ellie that I ordered the Cleo Juna in nude and waited for it come back in stock. The fabric is very smooth and it is slightly padded. The lace at the top of the cup is not visible under clothes. The color, however, can be seen under light-color clothes.

This has a nice tight band and fits in the cups when I first put it on, however, throughout a day of wearing it the lower part of the cups wrinkle as if my breasts can't fill the cup, however there is a little bit of spillage. It's a strange problem, wish this bra fit, but I prefer the Freya deco plunge in 28FF.
I'm selling it, it has only been worn twice, original price was $48 from Bare Necessities.
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.
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.
