Cleo by PanacheWomen's Lyzy Triangle Non-Wire Bra (#9766)

I love panache. But this is the least supportive, strangest fitting item I have bought from them. The cups are missing coverage around the armhole, and the waistband collapses and turns into a rope. Also the straps are too thin to be supportive.

I wear a 30E in Cleo underwire bras, and this fit true to size too (i also ordered a 28F and 30F to compare sizes since i wasn’t sure if the bralette would be as true to size as underwire bras, but it is). I hate wearing underwire bras for more than a few hours because i get bruises on my rib-cage, so i have been trying to find a good bralette with an elastic band instead of underwire and this one from Cleo has the most support. It is also the best at keeping the boobs separated. (they don’t really stay separated more than maybe an hour or two and need to be re-adjusted, However all of the other bralettes i tried squished the boobs together immediately, or didn’t provide much support.) Note: this bralette still does not provide anywhere near the amount of support an underwire bra does, or a sports bra, but it does provide some. The picture provided by the company, above, is very accurate as to how it fits/support level, at least for the 30E size. The elastic band is soft and comfortable, the cups are made of a non-stretchy material on the inside, and the lace on the edges is soft, and doesn't cause any texture under clothing. The straps are good, although i have to keep them tighter than you would with an underwire bra since the cups of the bra don’t have their own shape and are just floppy fabric.I find comparisons helpful, so i will summarize which bralettes i compared the Cleo one to:Curvy kate Unwind bralette: the cups were too big for me in the 30E, and in the 28E the band was so tight it was painful. Also the cups gave immediate strong cleavage- like wearing a tight sports bra that’s low-cut. But even the 28E had a little bit of room at the top of the cup, even though it was way too tight at the bottom or the cup. Idk, The shape of the cups was weirdly roomy at the top.Panache Andorra wire-free: the 30E fit, but pushed the boobs together slightly whereas the cleo bra keeps them separate. Otherwise this was the closest second choice because it was comfortable and also gave maybe a little more support than the cleo.... but i wanted a bra designed to separate and lift, and the separation was much better with the Cleo bralette. Also the cup shape of the Panache Andorra is maybe a little conical. It didn't seem as bad on me as other reviewers found, but it wasn't as rounded a most bras are.Freya soft molded cup bra: this is designed as a wire-free push-up bra. It actually had really good support for a wire-free bra! But its designed to give massive cleavage which i did NOT want, but if that’s your thing then Freya would be a comfortable choice. Even going up to a 30F still caused massive cleavage because the cups are sort of flat-ish so that they push everything together.TomboyX Ruched Cotton bralette: my friends love these bras, but i found that they give basically no support. The XS size fit me perfectly with full coverage, even though i am a 30E. But there was almost too much fabric— the cup part ended slightly above the start of the boobs, and the material is way too stretchy to give any support.Clavin klein bralettes: these are way cheaper than anything else but don’t fit anywhere nearly as well, which is not surprising becuase they only come in S/M/L sizes. I can get away with a medium in CK, but the band is a little too big and the cups are a little too small and cause cleavage while also not really offering much support.FILA bralettes: even worse fit issues than CK- the triangles are too small on anything but a large, but the bands are too small on anything over an S.

I ordered up a cup size (38h), i don't think my usual size of 38g would have fit. I really liked this when i first put it on, its very pretty and offers a bit more support than I was expecting; the ribcage band is essentially a wide, snug-fitting elastic band thst felt ok until it started to fold over on itself, at which point I was constantly fussing with it, and after about an hour it felt like the thin, stretchy straps were cutting off the circulation to my arms. Maybe if you are thin the ribcage band doesn't collapse and if you're girls aren't dense and heavy the straps don't cut into your shoulders, but I have a feeling if I don't return this it will remain in my dresser drawer.

I LOVE Panache, it’s all I purchase, so a slightly cheaper cuter version, YES PLEASE. I’ve tried several Cleo bras and the whole line fits significantly too small. I went up a band AND cup size (36H) from my Panache bras (normally 34GG) for this purchase and it’s still too small. The construction of this bra is just bizarre. There are no side support panels so any excess boob gets pushed into your arm pit. My husband referred to them as “torpedoes”... there’s a bulge all along the side to the arm pit but the front is kind of pointy.I didn’t expect great support with the appearance and cut off this bra but I didn’t expect NONE. The band is just awful and is too thin to provide support. With the low cut and no support I paradoxically pop out the front WITH the weird bulging on the sides.I gave 2 stars because the bra itself is actually really cute... but please, just do better Cleo. We want to love you but your making it kind of hard.

I liked the cut of the cups and the overall support and will try it again with a larger cup and the same band size. It’s very cute, didn’t make me feel like I was wearing a house bra.The cups are smaller than expected - I wear a 32F in wired bras made by Cleo so was surprised that I had quad-boob and was bulging out in back, too.I really liked the wide bottom elastic strap, it added a lot of support to the bra and did not roll under.The straps could have been a bit wider, but that was honestly the least of my problems.

I was a 28G when I bought this, and it's been the best bralette! The band is snug and supportive, and the cups held my G girls in place without distorting them or issues with escaping. I've even gone out in public in this! I'm losing volume now that I'm weaning the little one, so unfortunately its days are numbered. I'll be buying again in a smaller cup size.

I wear bras from the brand a lot! It’s super comfy! Not the most supportive so I wouldn’t wear it on a night out or anything but for a lazy day around the house or maybe a dinner

Most comfy bra ever. I need a million more of these. This bra isn’t super supportive and lifting, but also it doesn’t leave red marks and make me want to remove it ASAP. This is my lounging around the house and weekend errand bra. I could take a nap in it. I want more styles and colors like this. I hope companies make more bras like this.

This is true to size, I love it and would recommend to anyone looking for a larger cup size bralette without underwire. I usually wear a 36G and this is exactly that. Keeps the girls separate, no uniboob or torpedo boobs!
