I absolutely adore this bra, but sadly I seem to be between sizes in terms of cup depth. The 30DD is definitely too small for me - quadboob and too low under the armpit (I tried the Melissa in a 30DD and the Bella is definitely tighter in the cup). The 30E fits like a dream in terms of wire width and wing height, but it's too deep for my shallow boobs - the mesh top section gapes a lot, especially towards the centre of the cups. I also tried the 32DD, and whilst it's definitely shallower and therefore less gapey in the cup, I can fasten ... the band on the tightest hook with comfort, and the band rides up if I bend forward. The band is more generous than models like Melissa - Alexa would be a better example (in fact, the 30E Bella fits me like the 30DD Alexa - which I didn't keep).

I think anyone with shallow boobs is going to find this bra gapes in the top section. However, the shape is so good otherwise (think high and front like Melissa) and the print so divine, that I'm going to keep it.

Edit: a couple of months and some tissue migration later, and this fits perfectly. Hurrah!

I really like this bra and it seems to fit well, but I really don't like the gore on it. Much too high for my breasts- it feels like it's separating them while simultaneously pushing into them. It's very cute though, and comfortable besides that. I also feel a little bare in anything unlined, I think. Way too used to lined and padded bras.

The 30E Marcie fits me like a dream, however I cannot fill out the top of this 30E Bella - it seems like there is more volume in the top lace than in my pink Marcie.

This is a gorgeous bra. Unfortunately, it is too small for me.
The band is firm, as most other bella owners would agree.

Yay for immediate projection at the bottom! It's definitely a colorful bra - the blues are bright and clear. But it's cute.

It fits with no wrinkling in the bottom of the cup. I believe I have the "George" wrinkles in the top - it looks like the top layer of lace is a little loose, but the mesh underneath is fitting like it should.

I really wanted to love this bra but it's too small in the cups and the band is too big for me.

Definitely one of the most beautiful Cleo bras. The cups run true to size, I confirm that the band is a little bit looser than in Melissa, fits ok on the 2nd hook and I wouldn't go down a size. Bella is very comfortable, the straps are longer than in Melissa, the cup construction seems improved since Zia, the edge of the cup doesn't cut into breast tissue and there's no empty space in the top section of the cups.
