Wires are too narrow and cup was just slightly too big. The straps were wide, making the top outside edge of the bra cut right into my armpits. The color (jade) was beautiful and it felt well made. The band only had 2 rows of hooks, I really prefer 3.
I am close set, center and top full, projected, wide roots.

A great fit for me (apart from the too-big band). Deep cups + narrow underwires = very upfront / forward-projecting boobs.
My complaints: The straps are rather wide (comes with the territory with balconettes, I suppose). The band is huge (I don't know if I received a defective bra--will have to see once more measurements are added--but this fits me best on the tightest hook, which is deeply annoying and why I marked it as 'didn't fit'). And I don't like this color; it looks sickly on my skin.
(FYI, last I tried them, I was in between sizes in Cleo Marcie: 28G - Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) was too small in the cup, but 28GG - Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) was quite baggy at the top. Not sure if my experience is instructive or a fluke, though)

Cups too small. Missed return window.

Love this fit. Very pretty, comfortable and supportive. A little worried the band will stretch so may try 30G. (Raspberry)

Panache Cleo Blossom is one of my favorite bras. I was having trouble finding size my size (28FF), so I ordered my sister size. Thankfully, it fits well. I have a small gap at the top of the cup on my smaller side, but not enough to bother me.
I'll add more photos when I have time.

The Cleo Blossom has been a favorite of mine, coming in just after Comexim. I have several Blossoms in size 28FF. I'm worried they're going to discontinue it and recently haven't been able to find size 28FF. I found this 28G on eBay from https://www.belle-lingerie.co.uk
There is wrinkling at the top of the cup on my smaller side. The wires are also longer than my 28FF Blossom, but not poking. I considered returning this bra. However, after wearing it for 8 hours today while running errands and cleaning - neither of these issues bother me.
The gore lies flat, and the band is snug. I ... feel uplifted and supported. The raspberry-red colorway is new to me, but I love it.
I need to shorten the strap on my smaller side to accommodate asymmetry. I am noting mild irritation where the strap edge meets the cup at the ToS/armpit area. Hopefully, this will improve with wash and wear. If not, I have an idea for an alteration.
On a positive note, I was getting an odd side indent on my larger side in my 28Ff Blossom. This does NOT happen in this size 😁
Edit: I added a dart on the right cup to accommodate wrinkles & gapping. Photos added.

This one fits well and has a nice pattern. The straps extend just barely enough, and ironically I could wish the band were a little tighter to start, but it is comfortable all the same.

I love this bra! I decided to purchase my 2nd Cleo Blossom just in case Cleo ever decides to discontinue it. I find myself reaching for my original Blossom (Lilac) frequently.
I have soft, asymmetrical breasts with upper fullness. This bra is comfortable and provides fabulous support.

I love this bra. I was first attracted to the lilac color. But I also love the delicate lacing and silver charm detail. I have matching bikini panties and wear them whenever I can.
I initially purchased this bra in 28F UK. I thought it fit perfectly. However, in a fit check for a different bra, using the Cleo Blossom as a comparison, it was suggested that 28FF might work better for me. I still have and wear the 28F.
This bra is supportive and comfortable. I need to shorten the strap on my smaller side, and after 6 hours I note irritation and discomfort where the strap ... meets the cup on that side. Around the same timeframe, I become *aware* of the wires - in that they seem too long.
I still wear this bra in size 28F and I DO NOT have these issues.
** I realize I'm not allowed to incorporate multiple bra sizes in one review. Hold tight, I'm in the process of adding >100 bras to the bratabase. Cleo Blossom 28F will be coming soon.

Very cute, feels on par with other cleo bra quality, not as much padding on the wire as I prefer, only two hooks at the back which juts feels weird to hook. Good projection, I think its too narrow for me so it still sits a bit low. No strap gap at all which might be a first. Definitely a better fit than some bras I've kept and worn regularly for years but not as good as my current favorite. Edit: Okay its been days? weeks? and I put it on again and have been wearing it for 30-40 minutes and I really think I need this exact everything but just a wider wire, so I guess it would also need a deeper depth. It's probably technically a tad small in that it might give a teensy quad boob depending on where my arms are
