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)

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

Cute, I'm not a fan of the red color but it was the cheapest so that's what I got. Cup would either lay flat or wrinkle a tiny bit but nothing wild. I got it hooked easily even though its a 36 and it felt tighter than the usual for me but not too tight. Pretty standard bra in my opinion. On par with Cleo's other bras qualities not as nice as you would hope but fine nonetheless.

Cute lilac floral bra. Similar fabric quality as other Cleo bras, I don't know why they're made so differently than regular panache, the cleo's I've tried feel cheaper even though they aren't. Pretty close fit for me, a little bit of space at the bottom of the cup but it does have at least an extra cup size of wrinkling in the top of the cup so I won't keep it. Straps and armpit part of cup aren't digging in (so far-its only been a few minutes but typically that's enough to leave some deep red lines on me. Sturdy cut, no top lace, pretty see-through. It hasnt caused any pain the whole time I've been wearing it. I'm still trying to figure out my root width but someone recently told me it was wider than I had concluded and that my best fitting bra was too narrow, so when I measured this one before I put it on it was even narrower so I was worried it was going to cause pain but it doesn't.
