This is a story about how there is more to a bra that fits than just knowing the cup width and depth. In this case, the cup width and depth would seem to be almost perfect for me. It is very similar to other bras I own. However, the shape is awful on me. I like a bra that will lift and has a high apex. This apex is very low. Well below my nipples low. This causes an inverted seven shape (did I describe that phenomenon correctly?) and is very unflattering on myself. I'm guessing that this would look better on someone who is full on bottom, ... rather than my even shape.

The first time I tried this bra on, I immediately noticed that the gore was floating very far from my sternum. The wires in their natural shape are too weak to stay near my ribs. I measured the cup depth and knew that wasn't the issue. So I bent the wires. It fit much better, but because of the shape mismatch, I have to concede that there is nothing I can do to make this work.

The band has been altered with elastic added at the back. The band fastened on the last eyelet (there are four eyes, but only one hook) felt okay, but I noticed that the band was lower in the back than the front. The straps were already at their shortest length so these straps are too long and would need to be altered to be made shorter.

The bra lives up to its "comfort" name. It is very comfy and would be a good "lazing around the house" bra. The colours are attractive and the lace is pretty with cute bows at the gore and straps. I will be listing this bra so hopefully someone else can give this a good home.

Really nice, but doesn't really fit me. I wear it for lounging anyway, and is very comfy for things that doesn't require any movement , but offers no support (because the band is huge on me).

This is a soft cup bra. I ordered it in 30F because 28FF was not available. I have had most success with 28FF in Mimi Holliday.

The band would be better in 28, now I have to wear it in the tightest hooks. My underbust measurement is 26-27 inches, comfortably tight.

Also the cups are a little too small. The center gore doesn´t lie flat, and when I push it, there is quadboob / boobs escape from the center. I find that the cups run small in all padded Mimi Holliday bras, 1-2 sizes. In comfort bras (=soft cup) I find that cups usually run 1 size too small.

ETA. The wires are very stretchy in my padded Mimi Holliday bras, but in these comfort soft cup bras they are much more sturdy!
