Hmmm. I don't know about this one yet.
It's pretty similar to the minnie, and it fits mostly right (no gaping, no quad boob & a gore that's tacking like a pro), but it has some downsides compared to the minnie.
The cup fabric is more stretchy, which causes some issues. The wires are a bit too narrow for me (same as the minnie) but due to the stretchier fabric I get a weird side bulge in the cup when I swoop&scoop my side boob tissue in. I'm not sure if this is only due to the narrowness of the wires & my wide roots, or if there's something ... else wrong there, I'll make a fit request on that later.
The wires end just before the fabric does, and the empty fabric tends to fold and stick out under my arms, which is uncomfortable. The wires dig into my armpit anyway, but that may be resolved by bending them out a bit (I'll get back to you on that).
I believe the band on this one is a bit tighter than the minnie band, and maybe using an extender will relieve some of my problems (will get back to you on that too).
As for the shape it gives me, it is quite similar to the minnie: plenty of lift, forward facing boobs that are within my frame, but a tiny bit pointy in some way, which may just be due to the fact that they are now more projected instead of pushed towards my chest and to the side like I usually have them. I'm not yet sure if I like the shape, but under some clothes it will probably be a good look.
The lacy fabric shows through clothes, more so than the smoother minnie fabric does.
So, in all: a well made bra that fits mostly like it should, but it will probably not make it to my favorites shortlist.
