Who this looks like it would fit: Center full, moderately short rooted people with FOT or even from apex up, low projection if any.
Mimi should create a very rounded profile through apex and ideally gives some kind of high pole cleavage.


What I am: Projected mainly at my dense full sides, but not east-west facing, wide but not wide set, high set short roots that extend to collarbones with a very shallow weird ( arc ... on top, dense inner fullness which seems to be a totally different size from the rest of my breast & is prone to issues at gore.
Basically super full at root only, round over a wide center, then almost a directly straight shot from nip to nip with low 1" projection along inner. A vaguely augmented shape, without the wow factor.

Mimi definitely makes no effort to improve upon my form, neither does it injure it either.

Lets go to the chopping block:

Took in the stretchy band 6" (and several times over since, a miserable experience as the band is made of pure trash fabric)

Put in large plunge underwires that work for my taller sloped sides & shorty short gore needs.

Took out almost an inch of height from the very middle of the cup, just at the wire.

While there's nothing to be done for the short straps, these are closer to 14" and feel like swimsuit lycra so they have a nice soft give to them, but not loosey goosey like most elastic straps.

Out of numerable terrible batches through 2021, swimming though thousands of garbage foam spacer styles and endless manufacturers denial about sub 32" bands, this was an acceptable truce while trawling about for suitable styles. It's not painful, just uncooperative where I need more coverage and gentle support.

This is close, but I don't fill the tops of the cups and the cup is just a tad too narrow.

Cups aren't wide enough for my wide roots. Straps are too wide.

Nice enough, it just totally doesn't work for me. I have a shallow shape and breast tissue that extends very far up on the top so I do well in a more open cup, and this style is too closed on the top for me.
