    32F

    Fits

    For context, I measured myself a while ago at a 28G but lean towards 30FF for comfort because my ribs are prone to getting sore. I'm in this weird place right now where I'm right between a 28/30 and right between a G/GG, so not a big enough difference to officially re-measure, but enough that my bras are fitting a little differently than they used to--I'm getting a bit of quadding in bras that did not quad before, and some of my 28/30 bands are perfectly fine, while others have gotten a bit uncomfortable.

    I actually ordered this bra 3 separate times in order to try it on in ... 3 different sizes. Why? Because while it's rare for me to find a bra in my size that's a good shape match, is reasonably comfortable, and fits my preferences for projection, cleavage-assist, etc, it's *extremely* rare for me to find a bra that covers all those bases AND where the cup isn't too full/tall/wide for me, so when I discovered that this one worked under even my lowest V-necks and did not extend into my underarms, I was determined to make it work.

    I recently donated an older Cleo bra that had started to feel too tight in the band. That one was a 28G, so I went for the 30FF as my first size for Koko. It was waaaaay too small in the cups, and the band felt tighter than the 28 I had donated. I also had an issue where I was quadding a lot on top but the cups had empty space at the bottom. Next, I tried the 30G, hoping that the bigger cups would solve all of that. It did not. The band was still uncomfortably tight, and while I wasn't really quadding anymore, I still had empty space at the bottom of the cup. I also couldn't get the underwires to sit in the correct spot--they'd always slide down, leading to even more empty cup space. Overall, the cups for the 30FF fit better than the cups for the 30G, so I reordered again in the 32F. Bingo.

    The band for the 32F fits about the same as my 30 bands, maybe just slightly tighter--it's not a very stretchy band at all, so it generally feels a little more restricting even though it technically fits the same. With the cups, I do quad when I first put the bra on and adjust, but when everything gets settled, the top of the cup forms a smooth line (undetectable under my t-shirts!), and there's no empty space at the bottom of the cups anymore. Finding the right strap length was a little tricky, and they dug into my shoulders for the first half hour or so until I'd figured it out, but they're fine now. My only issue was with the underwires. They were pressing really hard against my ribs, but all I did was bend them outward very slightly, and they're a lot better now. To test out the fit, I wore it for 11 hours straight yesterday and experienced minimal discomfort.

    In terms of looks, I mean, it's a plain black bra. There isn't anything special or fancy about it, because that's not what I needed. I needed a plain, everyday, black bra to replace a different plain, everyday, black bra that's showing major signs of wear. It does have a cute ribbon with polka dots at the center gore, but that's it.

    Fit is great, as mentioned above. Cleavage is something I tend to have to work for; I have issues with lack of cleavage in many bras, especially ones in my size, because they do not usually include any padding and the cups are usually a little too wide-set or separated for my needs, so I was worried I'd have the same issue with this bra. Not so. My cleavage looks amazing. And my cleavage looks amazing without the bra flattening me out and without me worrying that I'm going to fall out of it, which is always a plus. I've had no strap slippage (usually a problem) and no lines across the tops of my breasts after taking it off despite the cup being a little bit closed on top (also usually a problem). Comfort is between good and great. Because of my inability to find stuff in my size that suits me, I'd defaulted to a US 32DDD as it was cheap, padded, and the biggest-smallest size that was readily available, so I'm pretty used to wearing looser bands and thought this would feel too tight since it fits like a 30. It's honestly fine, it feels secure, occasionally a bit restricting, but not like it's cutting into me anywhere. It stays put all day, too, even when reaching for stuff on unfairly high shelves. I think once I wear it more and get used to a band that's actually the right size, I'll feel better in it.

    Construction is pretty sturdy. The cups feel just a bit stiff, which was why I'd been concerned about it flattening me, but, again, not an issue. The underwire channels seem like they'll hold up well, and the band and straps feel like they'll be able to go a long time without getting stretched out. As a bonus, this bra has a J-Hook, which is fantastic because I wear a lot of racerback shirts as well and have no racerback bras in my actual size. As a bonus to the bonus, it's a *sliding* J-Hook, so I (or you) can adjust the straps as much as you need to when the hook is not in use, and when you do need the hook, you can clip it wherever makes sense for the clothing that's going on over it.

    Overall, I'm super happy with this bra! I must have tried on at least 50-60 bras since resizing myself, including a bunch from Cleo, and this is the first one that I feel truly fits, is a great shape match, is not too tall, and does what I need it to do. Would happily repurchase in different colorways if I managed to find any available.

    A moulded plunge can be pretty tricky for projected busts, and Koko was no exception, but there's no denying that the cleavage it gives is outstanding!

      Thanks for your reveiw. Eliminates another option :-)

      I love the new heather gray / magenta colorway of this bra (so casual! so athleisure!), but know that it's WAY, way too shallow to work for me - I have a Cleo Neve that slides right out of my IMF, just like in your photos. It does, however, give me bombshell cleavage in my paltry cup size (30E), so I haul it out exclusively for the deep v / low cut tops.

      I love the shallow cups of Neve Plunge, it helps me wear more clothes by pulling in and up thus lessening the projection.. but still with a nice shape.. so, I'm hoping this bra will do the same thing :)

    This bra would fit beautifully if there were more immediate projection. Everything else fits great, but the underwire is pushed down and the cup buckles under my IMF because it's too shallow. Otherwise, gorgeous bra.

    28G

    Didn't fit

    This bra gives a rounded shape and the band fits so comfortably. The wires don't dig into my rib cage, which can be a problem for me. The gore tacks nicely and doesn't dig into my sternum, which is another problem I have with certain bras.

    However, the overall fit just isn't correct for me. The wires sit below my IMF and the straps are a little too wide. My biggest fit issue is that the area where the cup meets the straps is too high or wide...I'm not quite sure. The result is that the area where the strap meet the bra digs into my outer armpit ... area. Also, the molded cups fit smoothly when I stand straight, but if I pull my shoulders back I get slight quad boob on my bigger side and if I slump my shoulders, I get gapping where the cup meets the strap. Due to the weird fit of the area where the straps meet the bra, the bra doesn't fit correctly.

    It's a shame because I like how this bra looks under clothes and other than the upper cup area, the bra is really comfortable.

    I also tried a 28FF and it was too small in the cup and gave me major quad boob. I tried the 30FF but the strap was way too loose. So I am keeping this one because it fits the best of the three and I like the profile under my shirts.

    When I first put on this bra I loved it. The plunge creates amazing cleavage and made my boobs look so great.

    But after wearing the bra for 10-15 minutes I had serious comfort issues. The wires and cup depth weren’t a good fit for me. The gore was too narrow for my shape and caused the cup wire to start way before my boobs. My boobs also weren’t filling the bottom of the bra, but I still was very full on top (the start of a quad boob) because the cups weren’t deep enough. I also had a lot of digging into my arm and upper side by ... the strap and upper part of the bra.

    I’m still learning all the terminology and I believe myself to be average root width, projected, lots of soft tissue after pregnancy & nursing, and breasts start lower on my chest.

    In case it helps: My favorite bra pre-pregnancy was Simon Perle Caresse 3DPlunge. I’ve reordered it in a larger size and hope it’ll work it’s magic again. Other bras I’ve tried post pregnancy in multiple sizes that have not fit me well include several Natori bras (Cups too shallow), Fantasie Rebecca Lace, Freya Cameo Plunge, Curvy Kate Daily Plunge, & Curvy Kate Lifestyle Plunge.

    Still looking for my unicorn!

    28E

    Didn't fit

    I purchased the Koko Muse in a 30D, but was disappointed that the band ran a little large. Recently I've been overflowing in many 30D bras and thought I should try a band size down but a cup size up from my sister size to see if this would give me a little more room. This is how I got to the 28E (plus the fact that this style doesn't come in a 28DD). However, this size did not work out for me at all, and I'm totally baffled as to why.

    The band is really tight, which is extremely odd to me as the band ... measurement is only 2 cm different between the 30D Koko Muse and the 28E Koko. Both bands are pretty firm, but I guess the Koko has slightly less give than Koko Muse. The main reason I tried a different size in the Koko Muse was because of the band, so I am bummed that there's such a big difference in the fit between the two band sizes.

    Also, when comparing the measurements on my two bras, the cups of the 28E are marginally larger than the 30D. I'm talking 1 cm difference in the wire length, cup width, and cup depth. However, the cup height is 1.5 cm taller in the 28E. Just this marginal difference makes the cups feel a lot bigger to me, although it generally fits ok. The reason I marked the cups as a problem is that they feel too large, and I get some gapping when moving in the 28E whereas I don't have this problem in the 30D.

    Other than that, I really like the rounded shape the Koko cut gives me. Despite not being a full band style, this feels a bit more secure than others, thanks to the wide bottom elastic on the band. The rest of the fit is pretty good on me, so I really wish this had worked out.

    28E

    Didn't fit

    For reference, my boobs are shallow, close set, even-FOT, center full, with tall and average width roots. I also have a rather prominent rib cage, broad shoulders, and a long torso for my height (5'2"). This is my fourth Cleo Koko bra! I switched over to these bras after the Cleo Neve was discontinued and Ebay yielded no more results in my size https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />. The band on the black colorway of the Koko is tighter than the nude version, and measures over half an inch shorter. The wires also seem taller than the other colorways I've purchased. The fabric is also a ... bit stiffer in this version of the Koko than the Koko Muse (9166), and the straps are not as stretchy, which I find preferable as the straps on my Koko Muse have distorted easily from gentle handwashing. The only fit issues I have are very slight quadboobing after scooping and swooping, and a wire width that is roughly .3 inches too wide. The quadboobing disappears after my breasts settle into the cup. The J-hook is adjustable, and comfortable to use. I don't get noticeable cleavage in the bra. Overall, the bra looks nice under clothes (both tight and flowy tops), and is comfortable to wear. The minor fit issues don't detract from the look or comfort of the bra.

    This is it! I suspect it would gape the tiniest bit when I slouch or once the moulding starts to relax. For now, the band is slightly more uncomfortable than the Cleo Koko Muse Tee Shirt bra of the same size. If I didn't know that, I'd have picked this one.
