I've become a big fan of Mimi now that I have more upper fullness and can fill out this style properly, so I decided to pick up as many of these as I could. I was lucky enough to snag one in my actual size of 28E (instead of the sister sizes of 30DD) and got this in the blue and white polka-dotted Spot Print.

The 28E, being my correct size, is the best fit of all, as the band is properly snug. The cups are identical to the 30DDs I have, so they are a tiny bit small (mostly wires are a little short on the side and I could use a little more depth), but in general is still a good fit. When I was a smaller cup size and much shallower on top, I had a hard time filling out this style. I also tried a cup size up in 30E and it was definitely about a half cup size too big.

I'd stick with your normal band size and normal cup size, sizing down if you are on the smaller end of your cup size. I think this style is tough if you don't have enough upper fullness or are very shallow, so it's more for average to projected shapes. Because of the open cups, it is great for tall roots.

Blue Spot is not my favorite print though, as I find this shade of dusty blue a little drab on me. I wish I had gotten this size in the Rose Print, but c'est la vie. The blue and white polka dot is accented with vibrant coral picot trim at the upper cup and cradle. The print runs throughout the bra in the front, extending to the front straps, while the band is solid blue knit, with blue elastic adjustable straps. Unfortunately the straps are only partially adjustable and the elastic is medium width plain elastic, instead of a wider and textured option to prevent slippage. The printed fabric is pretty standard lightweight knit used for many printed bras (similar to Freya and Fantasie). The band is single layer fabric, and it's on the thinner side, so this might be why the band doesn't quite feel as secure as a thicker fabric or firm powermesh.
