I have fairly even breasts, with wide and somewhat tall roots.

Aesthetically, of course, this bra is one of the cutest things I've ever seen.
First things first, I ordered from Bravissimo and the description said that the cups ran small, so to order one cup size up. I did this and ordered the 30E while I normally wear 28E/30DD. I do think it runs small because it fits me pretty well, however I would be curious to see how the 30DD fit on me, especially with the way the upper cup fits.
The fit is a bit strange; I don't quite have enough upper fullness to get a super great ...fit in the top of the cup, even though it fits "okay." I didn't realize until it arrived that there is a small piece of elastic along the top of the cup which I'm sure is to help the bra give a more fitted illusion for those it doesn't quite fit. It does help with that I think.
The shape the bra itself gives on me is kind of pointy. I never intended on getting this for an every day bra, but it is still something to consider.
Even though the 30 band stretched to ~31.5, it genuinely feels snug and firm (even as someone used to Cleo bands lol), so I may have overstreched it a bit in measuring. I definitely think your normal band measurement will be fine.
The underwires seem.... significantly softer than what I'm used to? The gore always seems at risk of floating/bending away from my body which is not something I ever experience in other bras.
My primary concern with this bra is snagging!!! There was already a frayed bit of lace on one of the cups that I trimmed off after removing it from the box, but I feel like some rough spots on my hands are catching slightly on the lace which makes me nervous for sure! I will try to be very careful and gentle with this set. Read more 224 more words
This is my first Mimi Holliday bra, and I looove it. The fabric is soft against the skin and really high quality, and I was super leased with the fit and comfort. I have major issues with itchy/scratchy fabrics and this has none of that!
Typically a gore of this height would not work for me since I have very close-set boobs, but it doesn't bother me at all. No sternum stabbies! The gore width is smaller than most of the bras I have tried on, and the curvature of the underwire works well for me.
Even with only one hook in the back I found that the fit felt secure and supportive in my size. I probably could have gone with a 28 band instead, but hey, this one was on sale.
This bra has it all- sexy, fun, comfortable, and a great fit. I will definitely buy another Mimi in the future.
I just fell in love with the colour of this bra and the fabric so I had to get it!
It is very low cut as you can see from the pictures. My nipples don´t get fully covered. The band could be a little tighter but I think this is the right size for me, as 28 I think would be too small. I don´t anyway wear it in the tightest hook, but not the loosest either.
The cup size... I don´t know if it should be a little bigger. My left breast is bigger that the right one and it starts to be more noticeable now, I guess it ...is because I demand more of the bra what comes to fitting properly, and my previous bras were all just the WRONG size. Anyway, when I put the bra on and scoop, then there is some quadboobing, especially in the left breast, but the quadboob disappears after a while. Maybe I swoop and scoop some non-breast tissue in and it doesn´t stay there? Or then it is migrated tissue that doesn´t stay in place just yet.
The support isn´t very good, but this bra is obviously a luxury piece and designed to be pretty, not supportive https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It is very good looking and the colour I just love!
ETA. The 30 band was after all too loose, and cups too small (quadboob) so I sent this back and got 28FF. The cups are there also a little bit too small, still some quadboobing. Plus I´ve got migrated tissue back since I first bought this bra a couple of months ago. Read more 164 more words
This just didn't work for me. Wires are too narrow, and the cups too tall for me. It's just terrible on my build. I need wider-set cups, and do better in things like the Curvy Kate Showgirl bras.
