I'd really like the option of specifying the colorway of a bra, or other distinguishing characteristics (for instance the manufacture date for instances when the bra has been remodeled but retained the same name/number) because otherwise I think my measurements are likely to be rejected when the bra has a different fit than previous bras. There can be so ... much variation caused by dye!
I recently bought the Panache Sienna (4471) in spice, and the fit for me is quite different from the lagoon or purple versions of the bra. Of course I said in my review which bra I was talking about, but I don't think my review is linked to a specific set of measurements, is it?
I think when the project was started many of us filling in data were naive about how much variation there can be between different versions of the same model, and the current data structure reflects that. I don't know how possible it is to change that, or if it is easier to make a quick hack of treating them as different bras.
Another thing I've found is that my idea on wire width seems subject to a lot of fluctuation. Sometimes I say the wires are too wide if they aren't against my breast root but do fit my tails well. Other times I say they're fine, even though there's space by the breast root, so long as they encompass my tails. I'd really like the option of not specifying how it fits me there, because it just isn't something I can reliably answer.
Oh, and some defaults for the fit would be nice, as it is quite rare for me to say that the straps are anything other than okay for me, so I'd rather change it in the rare instance that it is different than set it every time.

The price point is terrible, isn't it? I really want Lola super bad; I may be able to ask the boyfriend for the set for Christmas, in exchange for something equally as useless to me for him. That grey is absolutely one of my favorite colors, too. I wonder how much it would be worth it to ask them about some of the geometry -- wire width, cup depth, etc.
I'll admit that I'm pretty unimpressed with MiP, though.
By Baby's Rules did a review of their bralette: http://bybabysrules.com/2013/07/30/made-in-preston-aztec-bralet/
I know it's not the same, but still interesting.
