Super comfortable, straps are a little too stretchy, the cups are too small for me.

It pokes into my rib cage a little bit, and comes up too high on the sides, digging in under my arms slightly. However, this is the bra that fit me the best out of about 6 that I ordered, so I kept it since I desperately needed one. I'm planning to try bending the underwire today, and I'm going to sew some soft squishy fabric over the edges of the underwire that goes under the arm to see if it makes it more comfortable.

The tightness of the band is great. I could probably comfortable go to the second hook, but it's nice and snug on the ... first. The very top of the cups, where the lace is stitched onto the main part of the cup digs in just slightly, but then the lace itself is kind of loose. I could probably go up a cupsize since I think you can slightly (verrrrry slightly though) see the quad-boob one some thinner shirts. It's also a bit weird to wear under some thinner shirts because there is embroidery on the lower part of the cup, but honestly it's just my nitpicking and unless someone is dedicated to staring at your boobs it's not noticeable.

Overall it's decently comfortable, and I'm hoping that bending the underwires will make it more comfortable.

Edit: Bending the wires worked perfectly, it now fits comfortably on my ribcage.

Shape wise, this bra is probably the best Cleos offering since my long time favorite Lizzy.
I don't know how it does it, but the liftoff in this thing is unparalleled.
You also get a wonderful round profile and a front and center look.

No weird cleo fold in the upper part of the cup either.
It would be a firm favorite if it weren't for the print... -.-

I am full-on-bottom, so Cleo bras usually don't work for me. This was always a sore spot for me, as I loved their designs and color options. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Cleo Lucy did. It gives a very rounded, slightly minimized shape that none of my other bras give. I'd probably wear it all the time, if not for a glaring design flaw.

The otherwise inoffensive embroidery of the cups has an annoying and absurd raised polkadot flower pattern on the underside of the cups. The bra I want to wear under everything makes my boobs look like they have a unsightly, regularly repeating, ... raised spots under tighter-fitting tops. I'm looking into the Cleo Lori as a possible fix for the problem, but I'm worried about it showing up nude on my brown body because of its pearl gray coloring and pattern. (Panache! Release the Lori in jewel tones... or black/purple so I can wear it as constantly as I want! Thank you.)


As is the case with most Panache bras on my frame, the wires of the this bra dug into my lower armpits until I bent them away.

Update: This bra has a pretty goshdarn stretchy band. If between sizes, go down.

Well made bra, very pink! It has a bow pattern at the top of the cups. The band is firm.

The gore is quite high and wide, but no more than other cleo bras.

Not sure if I'm too FOT or it runs small, either way, not quite for me! Rather firm band, average width wires, fairly deep cups. However though the cups measure deep, in action the bra seems to be trying to push up/flatten my boobs in the Marie Antoinette style- not a good look in an unpadded bra. The lace doesn't seem to know what to do with itself.

I'm thinking if the wires were narrower it would be a lot better (or if I had wider roots). If you have a narrow root as well, I figure this 30GG would fit a very even-roundness or somewhat FOB 30G ... / 28GG / small 30GG.

Even with all that strangeness, as another reviewer said, this is a maximizer. The construction is such that my boobs look a lot bigger for some reason. Perhaps it is just that Cleo enhancement, drawing forth the breast tissue from the sides and making it round/perky. I'm almost curious enough to try this in a 30H but I don't need my boobs to look any bigger and I'm not enamoured with the pink. Maybe if they release in another colorway. However I've been having so many strange encounters with bras that claim to Marcie cuts that I'm not sure.

I've been kind of obsessed with the pink spot colourway of this bra for awhile, and was really excited to snag one on zulily. The 28H wasn't in stock so I grabbed this size instead, The band is quite firm and is comfortable on the middle hook.

Unfortunately, the top of the cup is too small, it cuts in on my small boob as well. (For comparison, the top of the cup is a bit loose on my larger side in a 28H - Cleo » Marcie (6831) , and I wear a 28GG in Cleo Alexa (6631) )

I bought this bra online without ever trying this brand on. Unfortunately I got a cup size too big. My boobs don't fill out the top of the bra. I think if I went down a cup size it would fit perfectly. The shape is nice and rounded, uplifted. The pattern is adorable and I wish I could wear this bra!

Lately (the past year or so) I've been wearing a 30G, but the store I ordered this from automatically sizes up for the Lucy, so I was sent a 30GG. It fit fairly well the first few months, but now seems quite worn-out and I find the straps too loose (even at the tightest setting), and most of all, the cups are bagging significantly, although the bagging is thankfully not visible under clothing. However, as a result, my breasts don't look as uplifted in this as they should, and I plan to purchase a new black bra to replace this one as soon as there is a good sale on. The change in fit is likely due to a reduction in my breast size - I re-measured last week and now am measuring as a 28FF or 30F. I also suspect the straps aren't as adjustable as I would want for my petite (under 5'0) height.

I loved this bra, but 30GG was the wrong size for me, so I never really wore it. The mesh is very breathable and the design is pretty. It also gives a great, rounded shape. The only issue is that the underwires are very pokey. :/

This bra runs small in the cup! I'm a 30G, but I was majorly quadboobing out of it, so sized up to a 30GG even though the ordering process scared me a little bit since I had never tried a 30GG in anything before.

But voila! The 30GG is a perfect fit (except I predict that maybe during my period I will quadboob a little bit). Really great rounded shape, a fun print and a firm band!

EDIT: After wearing this bra for a bit, I've realized that the cups are slightly too wide set for my close set boobs, and thus the ends of the cups end up digging into my armpit : /. Which saddens me because this is a really great shape for a t-shirt bra!

I get slight quadboob on this, but not enough to make me go up a cup size (this is also the case on my Juna, but not my Darcy). Unlike my Juna, however, the gore seems to want to not tack unless I play with it and push my breasts away from the center; I think this is probably related to the fact that my breasts are relatively close set.

Either way, it fits almost perfectly once I move my breasts around for a few seconds, so I'd consider it a success.

This bra seems alright in the cup, but maybe a bit too tight in the band. I've been wearing 32FFs, but decided to try a 30GG since my 32FFs seem small in the cup/ loose in the band. (30" underbust, 39" overbust).

The problem is the straps. They are so tight, even on the longest setting, and they dig into my shoulders. I think I have a low set root, or maybe just the cups are a little too small.

This is actually a smidgen smaller in the cup than my Darcy in the same size. Weird. But it still fits more or less like a dream.

Updated on Jun 13, 2013 Flag this

This bra fits beautifully in every direction. I had to add an extender only because the loosest setting was a little *too* tight, but it'll soon stretch out not to be a problem.
This was the first bra I tried on, and I had no idea what to expect, so I initially found all of these "problems", but nope, no problems at all! (Although the straps are weirdly small; I couldn't extend them if I wanted to.)

I find this a very lovely, pretty bra that gives a nice shape and looks good underneath clothes. Originally, I was wearing too big a band size (34inches) and have recently switched to the correct band size (30inches), and found the bra fit perfectly on the last cusp. Now I am used to a 30inch band, I have found this band too big (my underbust is still 30inches) and it is now on the tightest clasp. The straps are also a little wide for me but not enough to give discomfort.

The band fit nicely and was extremely comfortable. The straps were a bit wide-set for my narrow shoulders, but weren't uncomfortable. Unfortunately the cups created an extreme torpedo effect, with some minor quad-boob on my larger side (noticeable after scooping). Would try in a 30H.

Plan to return, so can't judge long-term durability or quality.

I bought this bra based on my Alexa size, having heard that the band on the Meg was tight. However, i find the band to run like a normal 30, and thus it is a little on the large side for me. I prefer the 28 band of the Alexa.
The cups of the Meg in the GG that i bought are slightly large for my boobs, much more so for my smaller side than my larger. This does not affect the shape very much though; it still lifts from the root and provides a natural yet firm, rounded profile. From the front my boobs are allowed to be much narrower on my chest than Curvy Kate, which is much better for my shape. The central gore sits flat, and is quite comfortable, despite being too wide for me.
