This is for the navy colorway. I also bought the coral spot and will review it separately.
I can confirm the many reviews I've read noting that this bra has a tricky fit. Fortunately for me, it works. I'm pretty full all around, broad-shouldered and short. Both the band & cups are great on this one, which means they both probably run a touch large. The seaming between the materials that comprise the cups wants to cut in, so it wouldn't be my first recommendation for someone who was very full on top. However, the upper materials would wrinkle if you couldn't fill the ... cups completely, so it wouldn't be a good fit for very full on bottom either.
Assuming it works on your boobs, it is stinking cute and remarkably practical. Considering all the print and assorted materials, it does disappear under almost any non-sheer clothing. (Ditto the matching thong; the set is to die for.)
The side of the cups doesn't dig into my armpits like the Juna because it's cut a little lower & the straps a touch less wide-set. It is surprisingly comfortable.
It has the Cleo standard 2-hooks.

I soooo wanted to like this bra. The color is ahhhhhmazing (deep pink), the fabrics are lovely and the spacer fabric provides a smooth look under clothing.
Unfortunately, while the volume of the cup is exactly right (fits more like a GG), the shape it is made for is a wider, taller, shallower one than my girls have. I could wear it, but it just doesn't look sexy on me. The coverage is too full overall, particularly since I'm short and somewhat short-waisted; it seems to cover all of my chest. In spite of the interior slings, it doesn't provide any lift for me.
The wire width isn't bad considering how spoiled I am with Comexim & EM, so it's pretty close to fitting at the base of my boobs.
It's VERY comfortable.
The band is a good fit for my 32/34 underbust.

Love! The cup is really too small for me, so it's probably true to size. Fantastic fit otherwise. Very comfortable.

I bought this one used on eBay thinking that my usual bra size would be a decent fit. Wrong! The band is VERY firm and the cups are HUGE. Many related purchases later, I've found my best fit in a 34F.
Regardless of size, I can't use the racerback option because the straps aren't long enough. It's very comfy.
The lettering on the front is gone, but it's just adhesive decal stuff that washes off in the first wash or 3. The label is printed inside the clasp area; the print does fade over time.
Although it doesn't appear to be particularly worn, one of the wires has poked through the outside fabric. If it fit, I'd throw a couple stitches there. In my opinion, this is the only real defect of this bra; the wires are padded on the inside but not sufficiently wrapped on the outside.

Love the smoothing of headlights & evening out of breast size provided by the contour cups, and no-show under clothing. Seems very high quality and best support of any of my bras - love the 4 hooks and substantial band. Cup size is off; it's really more like an American large E/small F than an H. Band may be a trifle small and will cut in a little at the end of a long day. Wish it were prettier, but it's not ugly - just plain.
Gave it away.

CHP is my favorite EM cut. The band is great on this one but I really need a H/HH in the cups (so it's probably true to size).
Pretty and comfy.

Purchased Oct/Nov 2018 knowing it would probably be larger in the band since I've owned it in a different size. It is pretty true to size. It's also just gorgeous and utterly impractical. Two hooks is nowhere near enough yet the support manages to be adequate and somehow, it remains comfortable. The wires are much lower at the wing and the gore than typical Panache, so it's not stabby. The straps are borderline not short enough, which is a problem I've never had.

Argh! I am the second owner of this bra and have the same issues that prevented us both from wearing it. The cups are too large and the band is freaky tight. I have a variety of 75-80J-K Comexim bras and this one is more like a 70K-75L. I really believe that the tag on this one is a mistake from the factory.
It is gorgeous, and I bet it would be fab under a tshirt because the embellishment and seaming is very fine/tight.

If you are VERY full on top, this would be a great bra. I'm mostly even to FOT, and the cups stick out from the apex up. It might be a cup size too large, but I don't think sizing down would have enough immediate projection at the bottom for me.

It's very pretty, the satin fabric feels lovely and the tiny roses pattern is adorable. With 3 vertical seams, I'm sure it would give a nice, lifted shape. The black lace along the top of the cups is stitched tightly down, so I don't think it would present an issue under tshirts.
Quality seems excellent, and there are 4 columns (angels singing) of 3 hooks.

I will no longer do business directly with EM because their customer service is patently awful. However, I will buy them used, which is how I got this hott number.
There's some serious vavoom with this bra and it is stunning. It fits like a 32/34 band so it fits great now (2nd hooks), but EMs do stretch pretty quickly so I'll be stalking it in a 70HH.
The straps aren't as wide-set as my other EMs, which is a great thing, but I found the wires to be wider than my others. That's not terrible, because it's still very comfortable and provides fab lift/support, but I prefer the more narrow ones.
The lace on the cups is not good under tight/thin clothing - but who cares?!
Update 12/2018: Recently resurrected from the too-small stash and I still love it (again) in my current roughly 32H/HH UK size.
