Cleo Women's Maddie Molded Balconnet T-Shirt Bra

I lost 80 lbs last year and struggled to find a flattering bra that fit my smaller size. Last summer I was amazed by a Panache swimsuits fit & immediately ordered a couple of their bras. They were a huge improvement over what I was wearing, but still left something to be desired. They looked fine and gave a smooth line but none of them gave me any cleavage. My bra size is 34FF and my breasts have moderate ptosis (sagging), a lack of volume and very prominent nipples. The molded cups on this bra provide a smooth, rounded appearance and give the illusion of perkiness to my breasts plus I get a nice bit of cleavage as well.The lace trim is noticeable through clothing and the fabric has a tone on tone stripe which is visible under light colored shirts. The design of the band and straps make this bra very sturdy and I dont think it will stretch put as quickly as most bras. The underwire and molded fabric provide enough support and coverage that it is able to contain and shape breasts that lack the volume (if you spill out of plunge bras or have extra fabric at the top of full coverage bras, you'll love this one). It does seem to run a bit small...the band barely fit and the cups are almost too small - my band size is consistently a 34 and many of my FF bras are roomy in the cups...you may want to consider this when ordering. I've been wearing this bra regularly for about a month and although it looks great, the band is not very comfortable. For me, I'm okay with this trade off because it does make my, past their prime, breasts look great.

this was my third Panache Bra I have the Panache Women's Clara Balconette Lace Bra in 34G and it fits like a thing of beauty, but I wanted a tshirt bra that was smooth under clothes and you couldn't see lace. I read the cup sizes ran small, so I ordered the 34GG. it was god awful uncomfortable. small around and small in the cups. I returned it and got the 36GG. I thought it fit great. it looked good, nice smooth cups and perky looking, like a smoothed wide look like the Sculptresse by Panache Women's Plus-Size Pure Lace Molded Non Padded T-Shirt Bra that I have.it seemed a little big in the cups on top. I'm a heavy bottom type breast, but I thought I could live with it because the cups are molded and you can't tell. I had it on for about an hour and I realized the the edge of the cups was rubbing my arm pits and giving me a rash. I think it's just too wide for my frame, the straps sit just like the picture, basically at my pits and it was rubbing very uncomfortably. I thought that maybe I should try a 36G and the cups would be smaller, but I'm just going to return it, I don't think it's a good fit for my body type.I love the panache bras and this one was no different quality wise, but it's just not for me.

Having seen Maddie in stores in every size but mine this past year, I was thrilled to find it here, where returns are so easy and the price is so low. I'm slowly learning that 28H is my best bet in Cleo, but this ran a full cup small in the 30GG I tried first, so I knew the 28H would be too small in the cup as well. Since they don't make a 28HH, I exchanged my 30GG for a 30H, which fit my breast volume, but the shape didn't work for me at all in either size. Sadly for me, Maddie isn't a bra that allows for much fullness on top. I'm pretty balanced in that regard, and even so, the fullest part of my breast tissue/nipple is at complete odds with where Maddie wants it to be. Maddie wants it to be low, and if I adjust myself accordingly, I'm left with a breast shape that's rounded above the top of the cup line, then flattened by Maddie to a low apex (I honestly don't think my tissue extended to that apex--that's how off the shape was on me), then full and round on the bottom. It isn't that the cup's too small, just that it doesn't work for my shape at all. I have to think this would work better for those with shallow, full-on-bottom breasts. Oh, well! It was still great to try it at no loss.

Think this bra is best suited for more shallow ("flatter" shaped) breasts. While you can be outwardly projected and still wear it, this bra would be best for those not too much projected and more shallow. Thin straps which until I adjusted for the first time in many years gave me the dreaded red marks. The really nice thing about the straps, unlike many Cleos bras, the straps are fully adjustable. The band has 2 hooks even for the H cups. the band is somewhat tight, like a typical Cleo bra and not too stretchy. The cups aren't high and it has a low gore. Would consider this bra a half-cup and not at full cup. If you find your correct shape the bra shouldn't show through your clothing. The edges are flat if you find your correct shape. If you have projection, consider ordering one cup size but if you are more shallow stick with your normal size. My lower rating for the bra, it hurt like the devil the forst time I wore it. Very stiff when it arrived. It "settled" and fit much better after I hand washed it. Also while I like you can adjust the straps the straps are too thin for larger bust. leading to the dreaded red marks.

Bra shopping is the bain of my existence. Normally, I come out near tears. As a 21 year old, I want a pretty, functional bra but I do not want to hide. I love the Freya Deco bra (30 E) but I wanted to try something new. The reviews were really helpful on the Cleo bras. I should have listened and gone up a size. The 30 E was too small so I returned it for a 30 F and I love it! I have bottom-heavy/shallow boobs. There is good support. The edges are somewhat stiff right now, but with some wear and wash that will go down. I am petite, so the straps come just a bit too wide, but still workable. I want to try other Cleo bras now!

Für die Größenauswahl gibts allein schon 5 Sterne. Wird Zeit, dass mehr Hersteller merken, dass fast niemand wirklich 75A trägt.Der BH ist, meiner Meinung nach, am besten für breite, flache Brüste geeignet.An der Qualität des BHs gibts auch nichts auszusetzen. Seltsam ist, dass die Träger sehr kurz sind, sie passen aber gerade noch.
