It’s safe to say that Cleo by Panache’s Autumn Winter collection is bloody gorgeous! And their Meg bra is no exception.
Bird prints get a huge thumbs up from me and I was so happy to get my hands on this bra. The red detailing and scalloped edge cups are quite unique, and I especially adored the swallow charm on the central gore. The cups are made out of a fairly thickish material that still manages to be sexy and sheer. 
I initially tried this bra in a 36HH but found the cups a little too baggy, and so this is a 36H.
Sadly, no matter how much I tightened one strap over the other I was somewhat lopsided in the bra as you can see. It may have been because the cup construction thrust me very much forward and pushed me in at the sides.
However, I was left with some puckering of material at the very tip of the cups, although it was spot on elsewhere. The shape that I was given was very rounded and projected, as I mentioned, and I felt very secure in the cups.
The back band was firm, almost to the point of being too firm which is no bad thing, but I would have preferred three hooks and eyes.
In conclusion, sadly Meg is not for me. The wrinkling cups show slightly under my clothes and I am unhappy with the overall shape it gives my breasts. It is a stunning bra and one that I wish came out in of the padded balconette styles that Cleo do so well. But I can’t have them all, sadly!

Thanks for writing a review of this bra! I’ve been lusting after it for agessss but had been hesitant to buy it based upon other reviews – this review seals the deal! Which, is quite sad as the print is just phenomenal.
I had same problems with the cup ! Bk was nice & firm. Loved the design and for a sheer bra if it had looked better on I would have kepted it I tried it in 32j
I experienced some of the same fit issues as you, George, with this particular style! I’ve heard from a couple of other women in the G+ range who also say the fit wasn’t perfect for them either. The odd fit of the cups and the bagginess/crinkling seems more prevalent on higher cup sizes leading me to wonder if this is just a design that doesn’t scale well up the cup sizes. Here’s the review I did: http://sophisticatedpair.com/blog/?p=2945
Thanks for the link mu’love! Love this print so much. Such a shame it didn’t work for you. IT was ok on me, but not a patch on the Marcie for fit and comfort. x
This bra is a lovely uplifted and rounded shape for larger busts. With the generous cups I have been able to fit K cup ladies into a J. Because of the scalloped edge the bra hardly digs into the bust like other straight edged cups. Its forward push is a triumph for many ladies whose breasts spread under their armpits. It can pucker at the top seam but like any other style the right bust will fill it well. I find that it suits women who have longish almost tubular breasts. Round breasts can create that harsh pucker in the top seam. Overall I find Meg a great construction with a strong structure for a non-padded bra.
