: Really tight.
My other Cleo bra(Mimi 30G) stretches to 78cm, but this only 74cm.
This is the tightest bra I've ever have.
Cup separation

I got Kali because it is a sister to Lucy, however I think Lucy has better immediate projection at the bottom. Kali seemed very shallow at the bottom for me and my breasts started pushing the wires down my ribcage within seconds of putting it on. Returning it. A bummer, because I prefer Kali's hearts to the the embroidered flowers on Lucy.

When I first got it, the material seemed really scratchy but after a wash or two it really softened and now it's pretty comfortable. There's good immediate projection but not as much overall as with Erin or Meg. I have really short roots yet there's no empty space at the top, but I'm not sure if that's because the cup is shorter or it's just shallower so it pushes my breast tissue up. The wires are wider than my other Cleos which doesn't work as well for me.
I also don't like that the cups go lower than the straps; I find it less comfortable.
Overall it's a good fit but not perfect.

The wires dig very much at the gore and the bottom of the cups. Though out the day it shifts to lower on my chest so the wires dig in less. I trying to bend the wire to make it more comfortable or maybe with more wear it will be come more comfortable. I think I might need to alter the gore and make the wires overlap so it not sitting on breast tissue. It also sits a little be low my IMF and not sure if its because the gore or not enough immediate projection. It gives my breast nice shape and the pattern is nice.

I only wear Polish bras now. Six on their way to my home now. Too much pain from the others. Comexim will happily overlap wires at the gore for free: marvelous :-) Hope you find a more comfortable bra soon :-)

If you have close set breasts, the wires may bother you as they bother me. The first Kali I ordered was a 32DD and it felt like my breasts were being forced into my ribs. After putting my bra on backward and upside down, I learned I did not require a 32" band, and the cups were significantly small. Before wearing this 30FF backward and upside down, I thought its band was too small. Just the cups were too small. Although this bra "looks" like a better fit than the 30G I ordered, the wires painfully push down on my ribs and my breasts still feel ... compressed. Additionally, this size creates a flattened area on the outside of each breast. Frankly, I prefer my naturally round shape to the flattened sides this bra creates. It seems, however, this flattened section of breast is not necessarily a characteristic of this design but is more strongly correlated with the shape of my breasts (short roots, round) in this design. The 30FF Cleo Lily also creates the same flattened area. I have been thoroughly spoiled by Comexim, Anna Pardal, and Ewa Michalak: Cleo is not remotely comfortable, to me, compared to the aforementioned brands. I will wait for the made to order Comexim/Anna Pardal bras. Sigh.

I have the same issue with the wires on every Cleo bra I've tried! It feels like the wires are stabbing me in the rib cage within seconds of having put it on. I've tried bending the wires out, but haven't had any success. At this point, I've given up on Cleo bras.
A plunge bra style might work better, as the gore should be lower and hopefully not so stabby.
