I love this bra. It is my absolute favourite bra I own.
The lace along the top edge of the cups makes a big difference, as it helps bring the cup in a bit closer to my full-on-bottom boobs, and also makes the cups a little bit taller, unlike some of the more recent Mimi Holliday super plunge models, which tend to put nipples on show unless you kinda tuck them away somehow!
I had this bra sitting in my drawer unused for a good year or two after I bought it, as I was convinced it was too narrow for my wide-set boobs. However, once ... I lengthened the straps a little and got well-practiced at the swoop & scoop method, I realised that it actually fits me perfectly, better than any other bra I've tried before or since.
With all the four Mimi bras that I now own, I have to be quite extreme in my swoop & scoop to avoid any tissue escaping to the sides, but provided I do this well, the bra fits very well and is incredibly comfortable.
The only slight downsides of this bra, for me, are:
- If I was to be really picky, there's a very tiny amount of overspill / pinching (visually, I can't feel it) at certain times of the month where the straps join the cups, I suspect the wires might be just a tiny fraction too narrow.
- The straps are part elastic and part satin. The non-stretch nature of the satin makes them inclined to fall off my shoulders very occasionally, if I'm having a day where I'm on the move a lot.
- The bra is made out of such a lovely delicate satin and lace combination that I know it'll eventually fall apart (I always wash it in a mesh laundry bag) and I won't be able to replace it!

To me it looks like that bra is too small for you. I think you are sizing yourself to your smaller breast instead of your larger breast. It looks to me like you have ALOT of tissue at your sides behind your cups. Have you tried 28C's? I'm curious about your measurements and would like to chat. I am also quite small busted. I have also amassed quite a few places that sell smaller sized bras for more petite women. Beautiful bra though.
