In a nutshell, I would say this runs small in the cups.
I am currently a 28GG in Cleo's balcony bras (like marcie, etc.), this is after a recent weight loss that took me from 30GG. So, none of my bikini tops fit anymore (I have bikini tops in 30GG and 32G from Panache, Cleo, Fantasie and Freya). As such, I ordered this in a 30G. The band is about right. Fits tight and like a 30 on the tightest hook or a 28 on the loosest hook. The cups, however, are small and very closed on top. I would say it runs ... closer to a 30FF or a 28G.
I returned this back to Figleaves before measuring. I won't be reordering a 30GG. Turns out, I didn't love the pattern as much as I though that I would. Also, the quality of the top isn't nearly as good as say a Freya sweatheart bikini top. The straps were very thin and hard (IMPOSSIBLE) to adjust. The back fastener was hard to open. I didn't test it in the water, so I'm not sure about comfort while swimming or the feel of it when wet (some padded suits get heavy).

Definitely agree that the bra is very closed on top and the cups run smaller than the similarly cut Cleo Mimi.
