This bra would fit pretty well if not for the massive quadboob I am getting. I don't know if it's because the cup is too small or if the cup just doesn't come up high enough on my ultrasoft boobs. Something weird is happening. The lace doesn't cling to my boobs, it kind of frills out, and so I am getting all this spillage. The band seems too big and stretchy. I may try a different size, but I may also have to accept that this bra is not for me. Sad because it's soooo cuuuuute.
Very pretty bra but just doesn't look right on me! I am new to all this and am still trying to find out what size and style is for me. So when I put this bra on I thought it was ok in the fit until I scooped in everything and then I had quad boob I think? Then when I poked around i noticed the bottom of the cups isn't filled, yet I am spilling over the top?? When I put a top on over the bra my boobs looked a very weird square shape. I am not sure if it just doesnt fit ot my shape ...or if it's because its too small or too big?! Looks pretty as I said but the material isn't the softest. The wire in the right cup also digged right in to one of my ribs, it was like it just sat on the top of it in the wrong position. Not sure what to do about that. The style of the bra you couldn't wear with tight fitting tops because the lacy pattern completely shows through. Read more 77 more words
I ordered a 30FF, they sent a 30G as this is supposed to be the equivalent.. it's definitely way too big in the cups. Ribcage is 30.5-31 and bust is 37.
Definitely was itchy at first and left red marks as the wires seem a lot higher than what I'm used to, but that's not saying a lot as I was in the wrong size (36DD).
If I had this in the correct size, I'm sure I would love it.
This seems like a really awesome bra. Unfortunately it's too small in the cups (approx 1 or 2 sizes), and this size (G) is as large as it comes.
The band is quite tight, I would use an extender to extend by 1 or 2 hooks if I were going to wear it. The shape the cups give is great; from the front the view is very slim (not wide at all), and the view from the side is very nice and round. The shape it gives, coupled with the seamless nature...well, it would just be awesome for wearing under T-Shirts!!!
I really wish this came in a GG or ...H cup. I actually emailed Panache about it, but their reply was that the "Cleo line is targeted for smaller girls" so it does not go above G. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I did try a 32G, but the cups were still a bit small, and the band was too big even on the tightest hooks.
This would be so great for wearing under t-shirts...if you are in the size range, this is definitely a bra you should check out! Read more 82 more words
I think this is a really pretty bra. The band is stretchy enough for me to fit a full hand underneath, but doesn't seem to ride up. The cups seem to be right size, but not the right shape. They cut into my breast tissue at the top. The shape underneath clothing is also a little funky. The wires also poke a little in the center. I'm still deciding whether this bra is worth keeping or not.
Unfortunately this bra seems incompatible with my body. I can't fill the bottom of the cups, and because of this my breasts seem to push the whole bra down (probably because the cups are too shallow at the bottom) so the wires sit about an inch lower than they should, which of course is really uncomfortable. The band is not too loose, I'm positive that's not the issue.
I've tried both the Nude and Plum in 30G: The gore on the Nude touched my sternum, but the gore on the Plum did not touch my sternum. Not sure if this is a slight sizing variation between colors or ...what, it's hard to tell as I didn't have access to both bras at once (I tried them about 2 weeks apart from each other).
"If" this bra had worked out, 30G would have been the correct size. The cups are technically the right size, but the wrong shape; they're too shallow for me, causing the "orange in a glass" effect. I very badly wanted this to work, but unfortunately I've had to give up on the Jude. Read more 77 more words
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 can fasten the band, but it feels too tight, and I can see the wires being distorted by the tension. The cup fits almost right on my larger breast, but it gapes badly on the smaller one (probably 1/2 cup difference between the two). The fabric is quite stiff, which I find is often a problem for my asymmetry. I could see how the stiffer fabric might be more supportive for some, though.
I was afraid the bird print would be too kitsch, but it's pretty subtle.
The band's length measures almost the same as the Marcie, but it has *very* little stretch. I can't even get it closed, and would have to go up to a 32 in this model. The cup measures slightly more shallow than the Marcie (I remeasured to be sure), and yet I'm still getting gaping at the upper edge of the cup...maybe just more fabric on the upper part in this model? The fabric on this is a lot stiffer than on the Marcie, which may be part of the issue.

I liked this bra so much in the slightly bigger 28H version (http://bra.pe/Rc6/) I found it in my "normal" Panache size 30G and couldn't resist! The fit is near perfect: rounded cups, comfy band (if I want to quibble it could be a bit tighter), straps fully adjustable, material nice and soft but supportive. Only point of concern is the gore doesn't lay entirely flat, it is floating just about a half centimeter away from my chest but for all I ...know the wires could have bent inward in the mail. All tissue is fully encased on the sides and there is no spillage although this brings me to another interesting fact. The top portion of cup is sheer on this 30G where the 28H isn't. I like having both options for different days. In other words, I can live with the minor discrepancy.

Gorgeous Bravissimo Exclusive by Cleo. Identical fit to my other Yellow current fashion color Lucy. I am in love with the idea of green bras (so rare!) and this one is fabulous. It looks like a bright minty highlighter, it's super intense but still a light color. Their website makes it look darker. See other review here: http://bra.pe/R4D/.
I am awaiting a 28GG to compare so my verdict is still out...
Measured unstretched immediately before wearing. Purchased from Bravissimo mid-June '12.
Finally, the long awaited 30g which fits properly! And this Cleo is nice and well fitting on the 1st hook. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This is a beautiful and fun lightly padded bra. Anyways, fit is pretty perfect in the band and cup just the "sister size" down band/up cup from the 32ff (http://bra.pe/R7n/). Please read the link for full style details. Based on previous Cleo bras I'm unsure if I expect it to last past 6 months or more specifically through two seasons. Regardless, I planned on this being a great Summer 2012 bra. Bonus, the undies are super comfy as well.
Reviewed and measured unstretched before wearing. Purchased late-May from Herroom.
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.
I knew I needed to "break it in" and get used to this style as my first quality-moulded.
Initial wearing all-day it felt great and at day's end I realized the left strap had worn or rubbed down some skin on my back shoulder blade which took a couple days to heal. Right side underarm the end of the under-wire really poked quite a bit. Gave it a rest for a couple days off but then tried it again.
Not perfect but cute colorful options given my size.
Purchased mid-November 2010. (Blue bra) Sold via Bratabase October 2011.
FYI the Maddie which is the same cut is now available and up to an H cup! I don't think the print is as cute though :(
