Beautiful, high-quality bra in silk and intricate black lace. I appreciate the delicate look of Mimi Holliday's bras compared to others in "specialty" sizes, with narrower straps and less coverage, and the design, materials, and construction construction are all top-notch. The band fit ratings didn't totally work for me here; it was not "definitely too big" nor did it ride up noticeably, but my whole hand fit easily between my back and the band if I pulled it out. As usual, I'd have preferred a 28, but for a 30 this was passable. My asymmetric sternum probably contributed to the not-quite-flat center gore.

Returning, ultimately, because the solid fabric of the cup doesn't totally cover my nipples, and it's not my favorite look to have a half-nipple showing through the lace on each side. Neither my nipples nor my areolas are unusually large, but the opaque part of the cup is extremely low-cut. It's a stunning bra otherwise, so even though it didn't work for me, I still recommend it generally and will look for others in this line.

This bra is not owned any more
