( Pictures taken without cookies).This is my first try with the M cut, and so far I love it! The lace on this bra is a pretty chocolate brown colour, and there are small bows with tiny polka dots on the gore and straps. The bows do a nice job of blending the colour of the straps with the cups. The insides are soft black cotton and there are cookie pockets for asymmetry.

My shape is full on the bottom, slightly pendulous, narrow and short rooted, and a bit soft. I have been wearing 30FF in lined/padded cups, and I find this one just about perfect in terms of projection (depth) at the wire. It's actually deeper than other padded bras I've tried, and it made me realize that I do need the same amount of depth in padded bras as I do in unpadded/unlined (my unlined all have to have 9.7-10" depth to get a good fit). I also have some center fullness, which this bra allows for thanks to the low gore. The gore does tack on this bra also. Additionally, I find the cut of this bra lovely, as I have short roots that are usually too short for most padded bras, or my breasts get swallowed up by the bra itself. This bra shows quite a lot of boob, but I never felt like I was falling out or unsupported. The cut of this bra reminds me of my Anna Pardal Sophisticated Balconette.

The shape it gives under a shirt is fairly round, but not quite as much as the CHP. I haven't tried the S cut, but I would hazzard a guess this M cut lies somewhere between the S and CHP in terms of roundness (some of this 'less than beachball roundness' could be due to my particular shape also).

The cup is wider than I typically like, though not by much, and I don't think it affects the fit too much. I like that the wires are straighter on the side than my Cleo bras (more vertical at the ends under my armpits), as Cleo's wires seem to have more of a 'swoosh' on the sides than I need. The only bit of discomfort that I noticed is that the straps did cut in slightly to my tail of spence during the day, but I'm hoping this softens up wtih wear. I think that if the cups were actually the right width for me at 5.1-5.3", I wouldn't get that chaffing.

When I took the bra off, the wire marks were right in my IMF except on my smaller side, and I think this is because I had inserted one cookie on that side to fix some asymmetry that I have. I noticed that the marks were a bit below my IMF on that side... So I guess it's a toss up between having a very very slight gap at the top and maintain better technical fit, or wear the cookie and push it down a bit? Either way, I have a good feeling about this bra!

  Gorgeous. The dots on the bows are adorable. I'm a recent M cut convert as well. Now I need this bra!

  I always disregarded the M cut because the EM site said it was unpadded... but when I clicked on the specific link and saw that it said they were padded with asymmetry pads, I figured I'd give it a go. I really like this cut and am glad I ordered it.

• Yes her site is misleading!!

  You look fantastic! Thrilled to learn about the immediate and center projection, too.
