As the other reviews mention repeatedly this bra features the Cleo Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) cut with stretch lace in the upper part of the cups. For my FoB breasts this combination is just about perfect. I get Marcies very round and uplifted shape minus the problem with the not always smoothly adjusting upper lace.
I particularly enjoy the soft lining of the cups. Its bright pink color combines very nice with the dotted outer black mesh layer to a beautiful textured burgundy shade.

Overall it fits and feels like a more forgiving version of the Marcie. Though depending on the top and the day I still may prefer the latter as the Hettie can sometimes feel a little wobbly due to the suppler materials it is made of.

This is the black and pink/red colourway in 30F. I have narrow, short rooted, projected shape with softness. I've been waiting to find this on sale so I could try it. Cup depth is just about right for me, and cup width is a tad wide. Wires, like all cleo's I've tried, come out in a swoosh on the sides also instead of more straight up in a U shape. The material is fairly soft, and the shape is fairly rounded and quite uplifted. Looks nice under a shift. More rounded than panache jasmine and a similar shape/fit to cleo Minnie.
Edit to add: the gore is a bit stabby at the top, so I plan on gently tiltling it out. Stretch lace on the top is a bit stretchier than cleo minnie and cleo Marcie, and nicely accomodating. Cups are pink inside, with a black mesh overlay. This bra accomodates projection and depth at the wire quite well.

Seems like a nice and comfortable bra, but it was a bit big in the cups and in the band with a too-wide wire adding to the issues. Not for me.

This is the most beautiful bra (I like bright, unusual color combinations). I am so sad the shape doesn't fit me. The stretch lace is nice, and works well for preventing quadding ....and would probably work great if you have a bigger side.

This bra in the Animal Abstract Print with black is too tight for me in the band. I tried it on for about 20 mins using an extender in the loosest hook and gore digs in at the top so much. The stretched band goes to 75cm (around 29.5") and not stretched it's about 62.5cm (around 24.5"). If you like a super snug band, or need these measurements, this bra is for you.

The print is beautiful, looks like a starry sky from far away. The lace is very stretchy and open and doesn't dig in, but the bottom of the cups wrinkle a bit on me. Since the band is too tight for me, maybe it's stretching/distorting the wires and fit too much. Overall a beautiful bra, just doesn't fit. I think I would need to go up to a 34 band for it to feel comfortable in this print

Super cute, but the lace panels at the top of the cups cut into my breasts. Unfortunately will have to return this one

I LOVE this bra model! It's one of te only ones that fit me properly. The gore is till a bit too high but bending the wires out helps a lot. I own 3 of these in 2 colors, I hope they never discontinue them.

I bought this together with the 30E to compare, but this one didn’t fit. In my opinion, the sizing for both is pretty close, but after trying on this size for 10 minutes, I could tell that the cups are just too big since my shape would change as I moved around. This bra has been returned.
