This bra has made me want to buy nothing but Mimi Holliday bras from now on.
First of all, it's beautiful. Bright yellow-green satin overlaid with delicate light blue lace creates a really pretty, almost aquatic effect. More importantly, it's comfortable enough to wear all day. It even has the softest wire channelling I've found. My ribs are happy. I'm kind of fussy about how bras feel and I'd rather wear a simple bralette or stretchy crop top than an uncomfortable underwired bra, so this is saying a lot!
The cups are made of slightly stretchy lace with a single dart; they give me a very natural shape, which I ... like. The straps are only half adjustable, and because the front half of the strap is part of the cup, it's hard to adjust them very far without changing the cup fit. This style might work best for someone whose shape is between even and full on top; I'm between even and full on bottom and the upper part of the cup is slightly loose on me, but it's not a dealbreaker. It has a 4 x 1 hook fastening instead of the typical 3 x 2; the band still feels pretty supportive and comfortable to me, but your mileage may vary.
Anyway, I'm seriously impressed by how well this bra fits and how nice it looks, and whilst it's easily the most expensive bra I've ever bought (even on sale), I feel like it's worth the high price.
