Overall, the reviews for Panache Cleo Hettie are mixed. While some reviewers found the fit to be amazing and comfortable, others were disappointed with the shape or quality. Many reviewers recommended trying seamed bras for a projected shape, and suggested other Panache or Cleo styles to try.

Bra for lots of projection, FOB, narrow roots

I second Panache envy and will add Panache Cleo Hettie too. I am myself projected, FOB with narrow roots. I will save this post for myself as I have trouble finding bras too. Also, try Freya Daisy(I have the non-padded version and works for me)

Great fit, odd shape

So the fit on this bra is amazing - it's comfy, supportive, wide enough cups and wide-spaced straps, fits all of my 36HH ladies without spillage, and is so soft!. The problem is the shape. It's like someone REALLY loved Madonna when they made this bra, and it gave me the craziest pointy boobs! The p...

Both the ABTF calculator and the recommendations from Bratabase have me in the 30DD – 30E range (sometimes 30F), which seems accurate. One of Bratabase's recommendations for me was the Cleo Hettie in 30E, so I figured I'd snatch it and test it out.

creates a "unique" shape for my 38E chest

this bra pushed most of my breast tissue forward into a pointy shape and flattened outer sides. not a huge fan of the shape or comfort so i will be returning. cleo bands seem to be a lot less stretchy/less comfortable in the lace/mesh styles in larger band sizes compared to elomi and freya for examp...

Bra fits much better but still not perfectly

80 G in EU sizes is 36F in UK sizes.

Maybe try something like Panache Envy, Panache Jasmine, Cleo Hettie or Cleo Kyla in 36FF and/or 36FF.

As the other commenter said, pictures are helpful but completely optional.

Too pointy.

In the photo the seams lay more flat but in real life it creates a weird pointyness that looks bad. I was hoping for more reduction but this is pointy accentuation and It looks awkward and I kind of hate it.

Are bras now designed to go five miles into your armpit?

If you’re in the states, breakout bras has a good selection. The size selection can be confusing for a newbie, as they are polish so the cup sizing is a bit different. I recommend you try a 32 UK G/US I. If going polish sounds like too much, I suggest trying a Panache Cleo Marcie or Panache Cleo Hettie in your calculator size, though those are UK brands so you’ll want to use your UK size.

Too much lift

Great fabric but shoots the girls too far forward for me. If you like that look this would be a great bra. Not my style though so I returned it.

I tried the Panache Cleo Hettie and Panache Cleo Asher. Both were pretty but the thin lace detail at the top of the cups just sort of blew in the breeze--there was nothing up top to "fill" it. Also, I chose a couple from the Cleo line because I read that of all the Panache bras, they tend to give more of a modern, rounded shape, which I prefer over torpedo-pointies.

For teens

Firstly, only 2 hooks for a J cup? Unsatisfactory. Cups are narrow, shallow and elastic straps too much wiggle. Try if you’re a teenager.
