This is my second Cynamon. Bought this used from another Bratabaser.
My first Cynamon was a 70GG which was getting a little too small for me in the cups, so I sold it. The band was already big enough for me to alter on the 70, so I knew going in that this one would also be too big. I thought if the cups were good, I wouldn't mind altering this one too, but unfortunately...
The cups are too big for me. I'm not sure if it can be considered too big because it's just legitimately a cup size too big (I fit in a 65J Trefl with moved ... in straps?), or if it's because it's just made for a body that's a little larger than mine. I'm sure the too big band plays a role in it, at least a bit.
Aside from the fit, the bra is as beautiful as my last Cynamon and is of the same great quality.
I have a second 70GG Cynamon and a 70HH on their way to me now. While I don't have much hope for the 70HH fitting after trying this one, they were sold out of the 70H and I just need this bra in my life. It's seriously my favorite SM so far. Even though it's a little darker than my skin, it serves as a great nude without being boring and is super comfortable when it fits. /crosses fingers

Appearance-wise, this bra is pretty cute. I like the pop of pink along the top of the cups and on the straps. The print is unique too, though I would kill for a Lily with the print of Meg!
The band is nice, firm and doesn't ride up. I think there might just a little less immediate projection in the cups than I need as I get slight wrinkles at the bottom of the cup from time to time. Occasionally I'll notice the cups have been pushed down slightly by my breasts, as well. It's not too bad though.
The wires are a bit too wide, but not uncomfortably ... so. Though, they're either a little too high, or a combination of wide and high, to the point that it gets a little pokey. My tail of spence can get a redish, tender marking where it rubs a bit when I wear it longer than a few hours. Luckily, I don't typically leave the house longer than a few hours for it to be much of a problem, but it's still unfortunate.
The gore tacks, though not very firmly. The cups seem to be mostly good, though my larger breast can get some puckering/quadding going on at the middle seam when I move in a number of positions or breathe too deeply. 99% of what I wear is loose fitting, so it's never visible though.
I have no real issue with having it in my collection and wearing it whenever the mood strikes. I even see myself getting it in the new colorways, sometime this year. So overall, I'd say it's a pretty good fit for me.

The color of this bikini top is really nice. I was afraid it would be too neon or cool toned, but it has a nice hint of orange, which I like. Not too loud, but not too soft, either. The little charm on the halter tie says Freya, which is actually kinda cute and doesn't feel cheap.
I would consider myself a 28H, but as sizes were limited, I bought the 30H.
I figured going up a cup size wouldn't hurt since I'd gain a little more projection. It seems to have been a good choice because my breasts still force the cups down a bit, leaving empty space ... at the bottom and a GG would have been worse. I can live with this.
The band is comfortable and doesn't ride up or move much at all, which is surprising, but good. Materials are soft and the mesh lining isn't scratchy. Unfortunately, the gore doesn't tack completely and the right underwire also seems to occasionally twist a little, pushing away from my sternum, while the left one sits mostly flat. I imagine these things are caused by shape incompatibility (not nearly enough immediate projection and wires are too wide) and the fact that my right breast is a little bit larger than the left.
The shape it gives from the front isn't too bad. More east/west than I'm used to getting from EM or Cleo bras, though. From the side, it's almost upside down 7ish, but meh. It is what it is.
All in all, I'm not disappointed with it as it's still cute, serves it's purpose and fits better than any S, M, L bathing suit I've owned. I won't wear it all that often or for long periods of time, so it works out in the end.
