I reviewed this bra much more thoroughly as a 32FF - Cleo » Mimi Padded Balconnet Bra (8091) but here's a TL;DR:

- My usual Cleo/Panache size is 32FF, but the 30 band definitely works better for me in this. That said, I do have a ~28-29 ribcage, so I wouldn't say this bra doesn't run TTS, just that it's a bit stretchy / big for a Cleo. ETA: Yeah, this is a stretchy bra, but the wires on the cups distort fast if you stretch it past 30 inches, so it doesn't _really_ run big.

- While there should only be one cup size difference between these two bras, the 30GG is kind of huge on me. Cups are too tall, I think?

- More projected than other Cleo padded bras, but not enough for me, at least not in this size; it doesn't show much because this is a padded bra with firm wires, but there's orange-in-a-glass happening in the 32FF, and definitely too much space in the bottom of the 30GG.

- Cup is super open on top, with a similar construction to a Comexim half-cup but without the top section that makes them more closed. FOB shapes will probably have trouble filling the top of the cup.

- Probably good for center fullness; it handled mine admirably even in the too-small 32FF.

- On the G/GG divide here, the straps are noticeably thicker than on my 32FF!
