For me, this bra is the perfect hybrid of the Cleo Minnie (in 32F) and Panache Jasmine (in 32FF). Both of these bras fit me pretty well but the Minnie is a bit small in the cup, and the jasmine is a little big (the very high wires were the main issue). I searched on here and ABTF to figure out something that might be a "Goldilocks bra",and this is it! It has more of the dimensions of the minnie, with the shorter wire length, but with deeper cups that are almost what my jasmine measures.

I have even to somewhat FOT boobs. I have read that this fits similarly to the Arabella, only more open on top. For me the top of the cup lays just flat, so I am not sure how it would work for anyone who is truly FOT. Wire width is on the slightly narrow side for this size range. The band runs large, pretty much the same length as my cleo and panache bras in 32 when they were new. Typical freya.

Minor issues- Rubs a little in the armpit area. I usually get this with all bras and it tends to go away after a few wears and washes. I have the blush colorway, which is much more pink than I expected. Will still function as a "nude" bra for me, just not so much of a pink fan personally. It looked a bit more peach in the photographs. Also the bra has a little more full coverage look, the lace comes up a little higher than I would like. Not a total granny bra, but not a really "sexy" bra either...the fact that it is completely sheer does at least help it out a little. I have even folded the lace under and tucked it for under more open necklines.

TLDR: Try it f you really like the fit of the Cleo Minnie and are looking for a similar fit outside of the Marcie sister cut family. I would sister size down from your panache/cleo size. Good for even types with average/narrowish roots; YMMV if FOT or FOB.
