Great fit for Mom-bust
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2014
I have a hard time finding bras, due to two factors: I wear a size 30H, and I also have had three kids. This means my bustline needs support, but is also not that full on top. Bras in this size are often "full coverage" which means the cups cover up more of the tissue-- but on me, they don't often fit well.This one is more like a demi bra, due to the "plunge" factor, and therefore a better fit. It's on the tightest setting right now (which it should be, leaving room for the inevitable stretching of the band) but is comfortable. It has molded cups for great coverage, yet it provides excellent support. The straps do not dig (support should come from the band!) and neither do the underwires. The middle portion of the underwire doesn't come up too high either, which is a problem I've had with other bras. There is excellent lift and separation. The materials seem to be very high-quality, on par with my Marie-Jo bras.To select a size, I went by the manufacturer's size chart and guidelines for measuring-- and lo and behold, it worked! Don't you love it when that happens?
Love it! Another great Cleo product

I'm a 32FF in a lot of unpadded Cleo bras (Marcie, Lucy, etc) however a lot of times I need a bigger cup on their molded bras (maddie is the one I usually buy because it works well with my full on top shape). I'm glad I got the bigger cup. This bra is a much different shape than I usually get, but I really like the shape it gives under t shirts. Very smooth and no quad boob. If you are full on top, I would size up.
Almost perfect

By my wife. This bra is the first one that fits in both band and cup. I finally got the sizing right (28E) after wearing wrongly 32B. When I wore it with a plastic clip for racerback tops and the straps pulled to the max length, they started digging (and I am petite, 5'2") so they are on the short size. The bra squeaks a little but not a big thing. Compared with the Freya Deco UW Plunge in 28F (first bra ordered online in my estimated "real size", cups too large), the underwire is wider even though the size is smaller, it goes to the middle of the armpits (good for breasts that start at this point) and the cups are kind of shallow. It doesn't give much lift, it seems to follow the natural balance of your breasts. If it wasn't for the strap issue, it would have a perfect score.
Love it, a tad tight though.

I love the shape and fit (for the most part) of this bra! Let me just say, I was very very Leary of a plunge bra being as I am a very large chested lady.. I am a 34G in us sizes.. Normally a plunge would make me spill and fall out no matter the brand. I found that this was the first bra in years that the middle of the bra, the part between my boobs, actually laid flat on my chest like it is supposed to! I was shocked to say the least. The only real complaint I have is that the straps are sort of short causing it to be tighter than I would like on my shoulders, as in when i have the straps fully extended they are still very tight.. I am hoping in time with use they will loosen up a bit as most bras do. I also found the band to be tighter than my normal 34.. But again it will loosen in time I am sure as it stretches. Overall I would say this bra is wonderful quality and very comfortable minus the tightness. I would certainly buy again, and I will recommend it to everyone I know because overall I really like this bra!!!!! Excellent quality. I do want to add, I was measured prior to ordering, so my measurements were correct, I am chalking up tightness to it being a UK bra and i am in the US so sizing may be a tad off between the countries.
Good plunge

I liked this bra, it fits a lot like the cleo maddie but with the outter tops of the cups coming up much higher and obviously the center gore much lower. It was smooth and comfortable and would work well under button-downs and deep v-cut tops. I didn't end up keeping it for 2 reasons - 1: my personal wardrobe simply didn't work well enough to justify this bra (no fault of the bra), and 2: perhaps it's just my shape but I found that there was a weird vertical space between the underwire and where my breasts sat in the cup, like the underwire came down too low even though the shaoe of the bra cups ended in the appropriate place on my chest. Everything sat flat so it didn't alter the actual fit and nothing looked odd under clothes so maybe it's just my own pet peeve, the band in the back came down lower than usual which was nice so maybe that's why the front was low as well, I'm not sure.
Finally! A Cleo bra that isnt excruciatingly painful!

I've tried the cleo jude, juna, maddie and now the Neve. This is the only one that isn't horribly uncomfortable. The others have skin-gouging gores (Juna), too-wide straps that dig (maddie) or an awful shape (jude). Out of frustration with this and other brands in my supposed correct size (or thereabouts-tried other sizes too) I was about to go back to improperly sized vs bras out of frustration because at least they were soft and comfortable, even if they didn't provide any support. But I'm glad I gave the Neve a try before giving up. It is comfy, the cups conform to your shape, but it also keeps everything lifted, front and center, and the straps aren't too wide. It is true as others have said that the band is tighter than other cleos. I got it in a 30ff, and it is a TRUE 30, so if you don't like a snug band, size up. This is similar to the fr3ya deco, but with wider wires (read:less armpit "fat" spillage if you have wide roots) and thinner, softer cup fabric that's less stiff, and thinner straps. I like it much better than the deco. It's a similar shape under clothes but is less "utilitarian" looking and fits my shape better. If deco wires are too narrow for you, and even if you had bad luck with other cleos, give this a shot. Oh, also, it doesn't have the cleo motto obnoxiously written inside the cups (in the floral colorway anyhow), an extra bonus! I took away one star because even though it's comfy, it's not sexy or particularly cute. Maybe it's too much to ask for both :(

Finally a bra that gives me a cleavage ! I am a 34gg and I've never been able to find a bra to give me any lift. When I saw this for £13 thought was worth a try. I have recently been measured at a high street bra shop so I know the size I ordered was correct but the strap at the back was far too tight but the cleavage it gave me was amazing I haven't seen myself with a cleavage since my boobs was smaller. Luckily I had a bra extender to hand which sorted the problem of it been too tight at the back. It was very comfortable to wear and it didn't give me the 4 boob look. Very happy

This is a very good seamless bra. It gives good cleavage and support, and seems to be of good quality. However, the cups seem to run alittle on the small side, which benefits certain breast shapes more than others. If I were to order again, I'd size up. The band seems true to size, but only 2 hooks feels alittle too flimsy when you're above an F-cup.

Beautiful bra, very elegant. Holds the breast. I will be ordering more! I would like to have it in different colors.

Cups fit lovely. However due to the 2 row of hooks, it can create the whole "back fat" problem. Better for a t-shirt than a vest though. Otherwise perfect.
