Out of the box, it is a very very light peach tone, with a grey silk band and shoulder straps. On me, it's an almost perfect nude colour for my milky pale skin. The actual colour is somewhere in between my bra-only pictures (too dark) and the ones in which I am wearing the bra (these turned out too bright so it looks almost white - it isn't.) It's only a little too sheer, so the seams are visible through light-coloured clothing. Not that it bothers me much https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

It's quite a comfy bra - there are some minor fit issues, like the floating gore, and the rather shallow cups (hence the sizing up), but it mostly sits where it should. I replaced the wires with thicker ones, just like in my 30GG - Mimi Holliday » Brandy Snap Maxi Bra (SS14-172), and now the gore rests against my sternum.

I mentioned it in my review of the Brandy Snap and I suppose I should put it down here as well - I love the wider band, which in the back measures the same as a three hook fastener, but it only has two hooks (across four columns). It feels great and fits the same as any three hook band, but without the extra fuss.

It's very pretty and I like the lace pattern and the shape it gives, but it's also vastly overpriced. There are bras that are just as good at a quarter of the price of a Mimi Holliday. If you really want to treat yourself, don't pay more than half the RRP, and spend the money you saved on cheese or cake or something.

  Thank you so much for your reviews of these MH beauties! I've been trying to nail down my size before placing my first order with them (I seem to be between sizes right now), and your reviews have been extremely helpful! Like you, I am projected and center-ful, so I'm thinking sizing up in their maxi will be key as well. Anyway, thanks! :D

• Aw, thanks, I'm glad to be of help! Which models are you looking at buying? They have some amazing colours in their designs :D Good luck and may your bras fit you well, always!

• I want many, which is kind of a problem. Right now, I'm looking at Hummingbird, Skylark, and Scarlet Ibis for comfort bras. Then Finch, Flambeau, and Rockhopper Penguin in maxi bras. You have any of those you just haven't reviewed? ;D
