likesI find the band of the Melissa to be EVER so slightly more snug than the Olivia, though they are both 28s, but this is barely noticeable. I found the Olivia's band to be nice and firm.
The 28G Olivia, when I still wore a 28G, fit similarly to the 28FF Melissa does now (now that I am a 28FF), except that the Melissa is SLIGHTLY more of a held-forward fit, in my opinion. The Olivia is still an up-front bra with a rounded shape, and I think has a lovely fit, and very similar IMO, the Melissa is just a bit more straight forward.
Size-wise, I think the cups of the two styles are consistent from size to size. I think a 28FF Olivia would fit be beautifully because the 28FF Melissa does (unlike, say the Juna, which does not fit me in a 28FF, and I had to size up).
The fabric of the two bras is also similar, and provides a nice amount of support.
