This is my second Cynamon. Bought this used from another Bratabaser.
My first Cynamon was a 70GG which was getting a little too small for me in the cups, so I sold it. The band was already big enough for me to alter on the 70, so I knew going in that this one would also be too big. I thought if the cups were good, I wouldn't mind altering this one too, but unfortunately...
The cups are too big for me. I'm not sure if it can be considered too big because it's just legitimately a cup size too big (I fit in a 65J Trefl with moved ... in straps?), or if it's because it's just made for a body that's a little larger than mine. I'm sure the too big band plays a role in it, at least a bit.
Aside from the fit, the bra is as beautiful as my last Cynamon and is of the same great quality.
I have a second 70GG Cynamon and a 70HH on their way to me now. While I don't have much hope for the 70HH fitting after trying this one, they were sold out of the 70H and I just need this bra in my life. It's seriously my favorite SM so far. Even though it's a little darker than my skin, it serves as a great nude without being boring and is super comfortable when it fits. /crosses fingers

So I got this bra to wear around the house. It definitely needs to stay at home because the shape it gives it probably the least flattering on me that I've seen yet. Even my old, ill-fitting 32DDDs were more flattering than this bra is. By itself, it's alright looking.
The band is incredibly tight. Like, I needed the full length of an extender and could probably use another set of hooks, tight. The fabric is pretty soft, though perhaps a tiny bit rough to the touch while not being itchy.
The cups though... where do I start?
They're like downward pointing, flattened, east-west torpedoes. The seam along ... the neckline/top of the cups is a little tight and gives me the slightest quaddage. The gore, of course, doesn't tack. If I scoop my boobs away from eachother, some separation is maintained, but there is absolutely no lift. In fact, I want to say it's flattening my boobs down towards my belly button. The straps are more centered.
The main reason I wanted a soft cup bra, was again, to wear at home. I don't want to wear out my "good" bras by wearing them at home, but I absolutely hate the feeling of my pendulous breasts touching my chest. I need something with a properly sized band (and big enough cups), to keep a barrier there. This bra does serve that purpose.
I almost don't want to keep it because I feel like S/M/L sports bras do a better job of shaping, but I've yet to find one that is tight enough around the underbust while still having room for my breasts.
It's weird. I didn't care so much about the shape when I ordered the bra, since I knew it would only be worn at home. But seeing it on and being used to the shape that Ewa and Cleo give... this is kind of depressing in comparison. It makes me feel like my grandmother.

I've had this bra in numerous sizes over the last year. It's basically the only full bust sports bra I've tried, but I've never seen a reason to try any others because I'm so satisfied with the performance of this one.

The color of this bikini top is really nice. I was afraid it would be too neon or cool toned, but it has a nice hint of orange, which I like. Not too loud, but not too soft, either. The little charm on the halter tie says Freya, which is actually kinda cute and doesn't feel cheap.
I would consider myself a 28H, but as sizes were limited, I bought the 30H.
I figured going up a cup size wouldn't hurt since I'd gain a little more projection. It seems to have been a good choice because my breasts still force the cups down a bit, leaving empty space ... at the bottom and a GG would have been worse. I can live with this.
The band is comfortable and doesn't ride up or move much at all, which is surprising, but good. Materials are soft and the mesh lining isn't scratchy. Unfortunately, the gore doesn't tack completely and the right underwire also seems to occasionally twist a little, pushing away from my sternum, while the left one sits mostly flat. I imagine these things are caused by shape incompatibility (not nearly enough immediate projection and wires are too wide) and the fact that my right breast is a little bit larger than the left.
The shape it gives from the front isn't too bad. More east/west than I'm used to getting from EM or Cleo bras, though. From the side, it's almost upside down 7ish, but meh. It is what it is.
All in all, I'm not disappointed with it as it's still cute, serves it's purpose and fits better than any S, M, L bathing suit I've owned. I won't wear it all that often or for long periods of time, so it works out in the end.
