My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle.

This review is for the Powder Pink colorway.


This is a very pretty longline bra, but please note that these run very small - I tend to wear 30FFs and 32Fs, but now I have this 34D that fits great? So keep that in mind!

The Mimi (and its matching thong) is a lot more Pretty than I usually wear - I tend to go more for Cute - but the pink-and-ivory was just too sweet, I couldn't resist. It has 3 sets of 5 hooks and is a non-pushup plunge (hooray for me!), and ... the band is lightly boned. The cups are moulded foam and give a very structured round shape. The lace overlay is exactly that: an overlay, so you don't have to worry about any itchy lace either!

I do have very wide and tall roots, and the cup doesn't make it all the way back to the edge of my breast tissue (past all my shirt side-seams!), but it also doesn't cut in anywhere, even on the top. In spite of that teensy fit issue, it's a very comfy bra.

I found this bra on the clearance rack at Nordstrom right as I was about to check out. When I couldn't find my size on the tag I was disappointed, but decided to try on the 32D anyway to see what size I ought to look for online, and to my surprise, the 32 was too small. I found the 34D and tried that one, and then spent so long in the changing room convinced that SOMETHING must be wrong with the fit and I just ... wasn't seeing it that the bra fitter came to check on me and was also surprised, but fit it does.

So, this band runs small, I guess! Pro-tip.

The Mimi has 3 sets of 5 hooks and definitely qualifies as a longline, and the band is lightly boned. It also has a great plunge, which I love. The moulded foam cups are structured moulded foam and give a good rounded shape, but are not pushup [in spite of the plunge, which is nice]. It is stylish enough that if it peeks out from under your top, no one knows it's just a bra!
