Pinkish gray colorway; hope to use as a nude under all but the sheerest fabrics.
Love.
Cups could be a little closer together, but they aren't a problem. If I gain one ounce, there will be quadraboob on my larger side, but again, is not currently a problem.
Band fab, straps fab.
Fit seems oddly different in some undefineable way from the smaller one that I have in the teal.

Runs large in the cup but is (as expected) still too small for me; it doesn't quite cover my nips.
Received from Nsm who adjusted it because she found it too large in the band. The band is great for me and I LOVE the versatility of the convertible straps. I have some clear straps that I got with a different bra and they work out great for racerback tops. I didn't get the padded straps so I don't know how those would be. The straps are pretty wide-set in the front, which is no issue for me, but it could be for more normal or narrow-shouldered girls.
It's really beautiful with the 2 faceted buttons at the gore and the satin trim along the top and over the wing stitching.

Ug, this bra is ridiculously pretty but wouldn't fit me even in the "correct" size of 75J/80HH because - I'm guessing - the wires would be way too wide. With 2 extenders, the cup fits because it's very open on top. Unfortunately, the straps end up in my armpits.
The fabrics feel excellent, the construction is excellent, and the colors are to die for.

I used the size chart and limited bratabase info to choose the 80K but I should've sized down a cup and band to 75J to fit my roughly 34H+ (UK) boobs. I accidentally bought 2 and they fit the same so the brand gets points for consistency.
Beautiful style, materials and construction. Deep at the apex, decent immediate projection, probably not best for very full on top or bottom but would work for most in between. The straps are 3/4 adjustable; although I suppose you could push past the padded portion if you were really motivated. Two vertical sections form the bottom with a mesh upper section but it's not crazy tall such that it covers a short girl's entire chest.
My sister (same cup size, a little larger under bust) was willing to pay to have the depth altered so she'll be reporting back on the wear test results.

An incredibly beautiful bra that I am unable to evaluate because I didn't get the right size. I have the feeling it would look and fit great if it came in a 70L/75K based on how much too small the cups are. I feel like the band is pretty generous and the materials are stunning. Construction quality looks good.

Preliminary impressions: it looks/feels good, may be a cup size too small and requires an extender for the first few wears. It is very open on top.
Update after wearing for a few months & losing a few pounds: It's now perfect. The band fits great on the middle set of hooks and I don't have any quadboob. The wires a little wider than I need but more than wearable and waaay better than any UK bra. It's actually quite comfortable and looks great on.

I tried this one as well as the 75K (the next size up) and this is definitely better. I still have a touch of quadraboob on my larger side, but even under a T-shirt, only I really see it unless I move just wrong. The cups, though deep, do buckle right at the wire - but I have an unusual amount of immediate projection, and it is not bothersome.
The 75K, for comparison, came all the way out to my armpits and much too high on my chest. I guess I technically could order the 75K with drastically lowered cups, but the J is so close that I just ... don't need to.
So, pros:
Pretty! Basic, yes, absolutely - but no lunch lady in sight. (With all due respect to all the hardworking lunch ladies out there.)
Very good support, decent lift.
Comfy.
Quality materials and construction.
3 hooks, fully adjustable straps.
Flat seams and lining make it a perfectly acceptable T-shirt bra.
Now available on Amazon.
Cons:
Sizing inconsistency? There should not be so great a difference between the 2 sizes, and in the other 2 styles I've tried.
No j-hook option. (Now I'm just being pushyhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Slow shipping.
Update 12/2018: I have 2 of these now. Weight change rendered the cups too small but the bands are still firm at my current 32" measurement.

Super cute print & trim coloration. Doesn't cover half my chest like Freya's balconettes in the larger cup sizes do. Adorable matching thong.
Outside of cup (width of underwire) is a little wider than necessary, but not as much as the Deco or the Antoinette. Sheer upper section is well-balanced & sexy - again unlike the ruination they make of their larger-cup balconettes.
Cup inner edge a little loose on my smaller side, but not bad. A suggestion of puckering at the apex, but I certainly couldn't size down with my upper fullness; it would cut in on top.
Band fits great, probably runs a trifle large. I do have ... concerns about the sturdiness of the band. It isn't reinforced from the wings to hook, and I wear my bands TIGHT so I doubt it will hold up as long as a less sheer fabric - so I'm downgrading the quality from Excellent to Good.
No issues with the straps on my 5'3" torso & it doesn't cut into my arms in the front (again, like the Deco or the Antoinette). Shape is a bit pointy, but nothing objectionable.
Reasonably discreet under most clothing.
It's a keeper & I'll be looking for similar styles https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

Waaaaaaa! I fell in love with this style after a swap when I got a 34H, but it was a cup size too big, so I started stalking a smaller size. I gambled on this one and lost. It is more snug in the band than I'd prefer for a swimsuit but I could live with it IF the cups had fit. Alas, they are too small. I really need the 34GG https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
It is gorgeous, and would offer GREAT support in the right size. The swan back on the GG and up cup sizes is too wonderful; even though it's tight, there's so no visible backfat!

Just put it on and OMGSOCUTE!
Ahem. I gambled on the Meg in 30H and won, so I bought this one expecting a similar fit/look. The Meg is deeper through the apex and both higher and wider in the middle. The straps seem to be a little further apart.
I should have gone up a cup size in this one to an HH because I have a touch of quadraboob on my larger side. However, this may be the best combo of lift and support I've achieved EVER.
The band is great; typical Cleo in that it runs a tiny bit large. If it had 3 ... or 4 (close) hooks, it would be even better, but that's not how they roll.
The real story is how the construction of the cup brings my boobs to the front and center. I look like I've lost weight and I'm perilously close to actual cleavage! There lace top of the cup at the seam with the bottom fabric bulges noticeably under clothing on my larger side, but I feel sure that's because I need a larger cup.
The straps are fully adjustable.
The wires are a tiny bit wider than most of my Comexim/Ewa bras, but they're still pretty darn narrow.
The colorway is so freaking cute, and the sweetheart neckline is low, open and sexy.
Seems well made with quality materials.
