I'm glad I finally got around to trying a Mimi Holliday bra from a sale on Haute Look. I have been meaning to try based on overall reviews that the cups in the 28D run shallow and small (and will thus fit my small 28C/D bust when most 28Ds are a little big).

The cups are definitely very low cut after scoop & swoop...nipples show just a little but with a quick nudge I can hide them just under the top edge. The volume is absolutely perfect! My breasts are fairly even in terms of fullness, maybe a little fuller on bottom and the volume of the cup works ... very well despite how short the cups are.

The downside to the low-cut cups is that the top edge of the cup, which is a pretty padded and thick edge, hits the apex of my breasts and is pretty noticeable under a smoother, high cut shirt. Actually, it's noticeable under TWO shirts I'm wearing right now. However, the overall shape the cup gives is great, lots of lift and roundness, minimal gapping when leaning shoulders forward. If only the fabric closer to the edge tapered a little more it would be a little more invisible under shirts. This bra is definitely useful for a very bulky & low cut "plunge" top.

Another downside is that the straps are VERY STRETCHY, so i have them on almost the tightest setting at the moment to fit me. Though, I am only 5'0" with a much shorter torso than most so I usually have to go with pretty short straps.

The bra is very comfortable, the top silk of the cups are very soft & silky, gore tacks well but doesn't dig in, no displacement of boobs after scoop & swoop. The band is a little on the stretchy side I feel for a 28, but I'm wearing it in the middle hook now. Could also be that there is only ONE hook per column instead of the traditional 2 hooks, just be aware!
