I would recommend this bra to anyone who loves the shape of the unpadded Cleo balconettes but finds themselves between sizes, even more so if the size that fits in the wire and bottom of the cup is too deep in the upper cup. Order the smaller of the two cup sizes- I find the 30DD Celia fits me wire and wing-wise like the 30E Cleos, but isn't nearly as deep.
This is a very pretty, super-comfortable bra which offers good lift up and forwards (probably more of a Meg shape on me than a Bella/Melissa, but still very good). I have low-set breasts and the ... wire/wing comes pretty high under my armpit (which I love as it minimises sideboob), but this may be a problem for anyone often troubled by wires. The sole downside of this bra for me is the loose and super-stretchy band. I can fasten it on the tightest hook and still feel comfortable (I measure 29). I think I'm going to keep the bra and hope it doesn't stretch too much, but I have small breasts which don't need too much support. If you're sub-30, this band will probably be too loose.
There is a teeny bit of loose material at the seam/apex, but it's smooth on the lace at the top - this may be not be so good if you're fuller on top. Otherwise it's a great fit. I'd love Fantasie to bring out a plain cream/white bra in the same style to wear under light tops.
