I ordered a few things from the chocolate chip line during the recent Mimi sale. I got the garter belt, star knickers and the lace boyshort, as well as the triangle bra in an S, which turned out to be slightly too big. I've listed that along with the garters and the star knickers (also too big) on here if you're interested. The boyshort was a bit big too but I managed to alter it to fit me and really wanted to get a matching bra that fit too. The reason I'm selling the other knickers is that they're mostly made of the incredibly ... thin "nude flash" fabric, which I'm really afraid of ruining. And the garters fit but look way better with the star knickers than with the boyshort.

Anyhow, they were all sold out of everything on the Mimi site by the time I'd gotten my order, so I got this bra on Asos on sale (but still more expensive than it would've been during the Mimi sale!!! grrrr). I expected the band to be too big, as in too big on the loosest hook, but thought that it would fit on the tightest since 32s usually do. Wrong. The band has 4 hooks, and even on the tightest it's a bit too loose. Then I measured it and saw that it stretches to 34 and it makes sense now.

I didn't find out about the brand until joining this site a couple of months ago and had read that their sizing had changed (to run larger) a couple of years ago, but I thought it was just in the cup depth. While I have no personal experience with their older stuff, the xs in panties was also shockingly big (I'm usually an S in panties, only occasionally an xs).

It's a beautiful bra though and I'll be keeping it to go with the boyshorts. Also, shoulder styles are great for me in terms of evening things out. But if I order from them again I'm definitely gonna have to do a 30 or maybe even a 28.
