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.
