I was in desperate need of a not ugly, well-fitting, unpadded skintone bra for summer - enter the SM Cynamon. It's simple, but gorgeous. The beige colour is rather dark in contrast to my Scandinavian complexion, but it disappears completely under light-coloured tops, which I wear a lot of in the summer. The materials are soft, except the lace can be a little itchy. The gore is of medium to low height and very narrow, perfect for my boobs. The wires are very narrow, but still a little wider than my roots (but I'm also sensitive and need *very* narrow cups). Ewa Michalak claims the band is much ... tighter than normal, but I don't really see this - it fits maybe just a little bit more snug than UK 32's, and I feel no difference between this and my other unpadded EM's.

As this is an SM cut, which doesn't fit my shape all that well, I decided to size up (since a too large bra can often be fixed but the opposite is more difficult to alter right). Because of this, the shape it gives is uplifted, but natural - like a teardrop shape. There are wrinkles along the upper cup even on my larger boob, but I'd rather be in a cup too big than one that is too small. I have experimented with folding and pinching the cups in different ways and I think it's possible to minimise the gapping by lowering and centering the position of the straps. I'll update once I figure it out.

Despite the fit issues, I still feel that I could buy more of this model, since it is such a holy grail of bras - the combination of unlined, narrow cups and beige without being boring is rare, indeed.

*EDIT* I have since altered this bra by sewing an elastic band to the inside of the bra band to keep it from stretching while wearing it. While it now fits more like a 30 band and I prefer the fit of a 28, I'm going to mark it as a fit as it's much more comfortable now and doesn't really ride up anymore.

I ordered this bra in 70GG, even though I usually wear 28H, because I fell in love with this bra and had to have it.

The color and design of the bra are beautiful. The pictures on the website are pretty accurate; pink toned beige ... cups with a more true beige band. It disappears quite nicely under light colored clothing, even though it's darker than my skin tone. The quality is great and it's comfortable (so far).

The reason I actually went with the GG instead of a G, is because I feel that the 65GG I have in the Burek (and formerly the Nana and Margot), is a cup size too small for me. I would have ordered a 65H, but they were out of fabric and I just couldn't go without.

It's a little hard for me to say whether this is a true 32GG, as I don't typically wear that size, but knowing the fit in the 65GG SM's feel a bit more like a 28GG, I might say this fits more like a 30GG/H. I feel much more secure in this than I do in my Burek, but the band is definitely too loose on me.
I still have to make sure I swoop and scoop, not only from the sides, but also away from the gore, so that it will tack. Even then, it still doesn't always tack completely. A higher center gore would probably help fix the issue, as that doesn't happen on my 30GG Marcie who's gore is half an inch taller.
The cups also feel like they're a bit too tall for me and as a result, I feel like I'm wearing a lot of bra. The security they give are worth the trade off for me, though.
It's possible that with my soft breasts, narrow, short roots, large amount of projection and center fullness, that the SM and I aren't completely compatible, but I can live with the minor fit quirks that I have with this style. They're just too pretty to give up.

I will be keeping this bra, but will likely be altering the band soon, so it fits more snugly.

Having this bra work as well as it does in comparison to my Burek, gives me hope for the custom 65H Wrozka and CzarnaMgielka that I'm waiting on. I'll be sure to review those as well.
