I have wide, shallow breasts that are conical in shape, and I am fairly muscular.
This is my fourth Mimi Holliday Padded Super Plunge. The first three were all from 2012 (one in 30D and two in 28DD), and this one is from SS 2013. Unfortunately, they've made some changes between 2012 and 2013, and it no longer fits me as well as it used to. Here's a summary of the changes:
-The straps are a bit thicker/wider
-The straps have a better slider thingy so that it's much less prone to slipping and becoming longer throughout the day
-The cups are a bit wider
-The straps are farther apart
-The ... cups are a bit deeper
Except for the straps being farther apart than they used to be, I understand why they made these changes - it'll fit better for the average person. It just fits worse for me. And none of these are radical changes, but they're definitely enough to make me reconsider buying one again. I'm thinking that it might fit better in 28D now, but it's simply too expensive of a bra to experiment with.
Other than the changes, it's still a beautiful, comfortable bra. I'd never pay full price for one (and never have), but if you can find it for half off or less, I would still recommend it for someone who is shallow (but not too shallow) and has wider shoulders.
And here's my standard warning for all Mimi Holliday bras: you MUST hand wash them! Do not let these bras go into the washer, or heaven forbid, the dryer. If you do, the band will lose all elasticity ridiculously quick.
