I ordered this bra on purpose although I knew the size would not be right. The reason is that I tried to find the sister size to 28FF that I normally wear, or slightly bigger. I intend to alter the band myself.
I have to say it is going well so far, the cups really are very much like in 28FF!!
I love love love Mimi Holliday lingerie and found this piece online, they donĀ“t produce this model anymore. I felt very lucky because they normally cost very much, but this was cheap https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I really cannot comment on the fit more, because this size ...is so wrong for me. What comes to appearance, there are pictures I added. What you should notice though, is that even in this size there is only one pair of hooks and eyes per row!! But 4 rows instead of the usual 3.
EDIT. The wires if some Mimi Holliday bras are very stretchy. So the cups will get a little pulled when wearing the bra. So beware. Read more 68 more words
This is a lovely, sexy bra with a silky feel and very light, comfortable padding. Unfortunately, the bra is nothing near the right size for me! It was bought a bit before I learned my real size, and is way too small in the cups and too big in the band (which is also very stretchy). The center gore is nowhere close to my body, and I get quadboob everywhere. Even before I knew what my real size was, I understood that this bra is not for me, so after a few wears, into the drawer it went...
I ordered this bra in 36D and altered it to 28FF which seems to work for me in MH non-padded bras. Please note this is the "old fit 36D", MH has changed sizing of all bras in 2014.
Alteration was done by removing hooks + eyes -parts, cutting off excess fabric and re-attaching hooks + eyes. I have also moved the straps in the back, they are placed like in my other MH 28FF bras. Unfortunately there are no more labels in this bra, because of the alteration ( I really should start saving the labels...).
The bra is lovely, I really like the colourway. Unfortunately the shape is not exactly the same as in the "lace comfort bras", and it is not ideal for me. The shape is not supported and lifted, it is droopy and just sad.
