This bra is pretty much a clone of the Curvy Kate Princess Plunge, so if you like that, then you'll like this and vice versa.
I made the mistake of ordering both because I didn't know Flirtelle was a kind of sister company to Curvy Kate.
This bra is a gorgeous light peach colour, the type of shade that our grandma's undies used to be made of. However, it doesn't look granny-ish at all in style, it's so pretty and has a more contemporary touch with the style of 'Spiro' lace. I think it would look gorgeous on all skin tones because it isn't really a 'nude' or a 'latte' ... like it claims to be. The quality is top notch!
I don't get along with this bra for two reasons: it's too projected for me and I should have sister sized up.
Some info about me: I'm even vertical fullness with medium width and medium to not-so-much projection. I find Cleo Marcie to be a perfect cup fit, but it's too narrow for me. I like a low gore due to being close set and I'm a 34G to 36FF depending on band stretchiness.
It fits great along the top of the cup, I think it anticipates a hair more upper and inner fullness than I have, because the lace at the top sticks out a little, but it looks totally smooth under a cami so it's not a problem for me. I have a LOT of wrinkles underneath the boob, which for me usually means that I need a less projection there. If you have more fullness at the wire when supported, you may like this.
The second issue is that I find the band a little tight for me, and therefore the gore slightly painful too. This is probably because I'm in-between a 34G and a 36FF, so it's very true to size. I found the gore on this one a little worse than on the Curvy Kate though.
I think this bra is best for those who have a lot of inner fullness and need projection at the wire. It looks absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend it to anyone who isn't shaped like I am!
