My shape: Projected, narrow, shorter roots, even/functionally full on bottom, soft tissue. Cleo Lily fits me best.
The bra fits like a 30G, so I would definitely recommend sister sizing up from your usual size.
This bra is nicely projected and has wonderfully narrow wires. I rarely see 5" in this size range, especially in non-Polish brands.
I get a slightly pointy/natural shape in this. The cups are rather tall near the straps, so I have quite a lot of strap gap there.
The fabric/mesh is quite rough and scratchy, although that may soften up with washing.
Unfortunately the straps/cups cut into my tail of spence really badly, and I'm not sure I want to keep the bra and hope that that gets better after washing it.
The bottom fabric/mesh is quite rough and scratchy, although that may soften up with washing. The top part of the cup is much softer.

While this bra seems stiff at first, it does soften quickly and the fit and look are excellent. The bra is both sexy and supportive (especially in the cerise colourway). It fits pretty true to size. The shape is neither pointy nor round and it's quite good under lots of shirts, even though there are seams. The non-stretch ribbon at the top of the cups does present a challenge for full on top breasts because it has no give.
Center gore tacks, but is uncomfortable. If I were to keep it, it would need to be bent. I can't quite fill the cups due to the band being way too loose. The straps are only partly adjustable, but that wasn't a big issue for me.
Colorway is beautiful, great details, looks fabulous, but the fit is off on me. I shouldn't have listened when people said that Miss Mandalay runs small in the band, I think they are fairly standard, TBH.
