I just HAD to have this bra in the navy & red print when I was starting my bra trek. Cleo Natasha was my first true bra and I was jazzed over how well it fit, and figured this was similar enough and so damned gorgeous. It's plenty gorgeous, but too big for me most of the time. When I can fit it, I don't like the pointy shape and how the top ribbon cuts into what upper fullness I have. This bra also plays meanly with many of my shirts, the seams, wrinkles and ribbon making lines galore. The wires are too wide and leaves a lot ... of empty room in the sides. The gore is too tall and I'm very aware of it while wearing Meg, if not in a degree of pain later in the day. Meg has the infamous hard Cleo wires. I also feel very exposed in sheer bras, but that's just a personal issue. An altered 30dd fit my volume better most days, but every other fit issue remained.
The band seems like a tight 28, but certainly not a 26. The materials seem like they'll last a while.
I want to alter this to give a rounder shape once I have more sewing practice, but until then it's a cautionary tale in my bra drawer that gets worn around home every so often.
