I absolutely love this bra. I've never had a padded bra fit so well. It also gives great cleavage which is fun. The print is not something I'd usually wear, but it's really cute.

I fell in love with the Cleo Breeze a couple of months ago, and decided to try this because the long line of the Breeze made it hard to breathe sometimes. I was not disappointed with the Mimi! The only negative is that the band on the Mimi is SO stretchy. I'm returning this, and I have two 28H Mimi bras on the way. Thankfully this works for me, but it's a bummer for those who are typically a 28 band or an H cup! Even though this bra has a band too large for me and only 2 hooks, it feels just as supportive and uplifting as ... the Breeze! It is definitely the most comfortable bra I've tried besides the Panache sport's bra (because you can't beat the panache sport's cushioned underwire and 3 hooks!).

Edit: The band is stretchy, but I also remeasured after losing weight and found that my underbust is 27"-27.5", so I do need a 28 band anyways. I have to wear my 28 band Mimi's on their tightest hooks https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I reviewed this bra much more thoroughly as a 32FF - Cleo » Mimi Padded Balconnet Bra (8091) but here's a TL;DR:

- My usual Cleo/Panache size is 32FF, but the 30 band definitely works better for me in this. That said, I do have a ~28-29 ribcage, so I wouldn't say this bra doesn't run TTS, just that it's a bit stretchy / big for a Cleo. ETA: Yeah, this is a stretchy bra, but the wires on the cups distort fast if you stretch it past 30 inches, so it doesn't _really_ run big.

- While there should only be one cup size difference between these ... two bras, the 30GG is kind of huge on me. Cups are too tall, I think?

- More projected than other Cleo padded bras, but not enough for me, at least not in this size; it doesn't show much because this is a padded bra with firm wires, but there's orange-in-a-glass happening in the 32FF, and definitely too much space in the bottom of the 30GG.

- Cup is super open on top, with a similar construction to a Comexim half-cup but without the top section that makes them more closed. FOB shapes will probably have trouble filling the top of the cup.

- Probably good for center fullness; it handled mine admirably even in the too-small 32FF.

- On the G/GG divide here, the straps are noticeably thicker than on my 32FF!
