The cups are a good fit, but the straps are painfully too short for me.

I only put good for appearance because I am not partial to solid colour bras. The style, lace, and tiny hearts are really quite lovely. There are lots of this style of bra available in the red and also in the black with white lace on the cups. Soft fabric and an excellent fit. I think that it will give great cleavage once I put in an old padded cup.

This is the first Mimi Holliday bra that I have seen that has cotton fabric on the front. It is not great quality but is a nice pale peach colour. For alterations, I cut out the padded liner and reattached it to give more projection at the bottom, added a cookie at the base of each cup, and tightened the cotton fabric along the top of the cup - darting it into the gore to avoid lateral gaping of the cup. These alterations give a rounded look on top and on the bottom. Comfort level is high all day long. Should be a cooler bra for the summer.

My favorite bra - comfortable, stays in place, nicely made, beautiful. It makes a 'natural' shape - a nice change of pace from the ice cream scoop look of most bras.

It's named 'Comfort Bra' for a reason! This one is comfortable enough to not notice wearing it after a few minutes. Although it is my 'official size', so far I'm wearing a band extender.

An excellent example of Mimi Holliday. Better for lounging than for an active day.

This is a perfect example of Mimi Holliday done right for small bands and breasts - big sigh that it is an old model no longer made. Comfortable all day and gives a wonderful shape to my profile. I am on the hunt for coordinating undies.

I realized that I forgot to measure this bra before I did alterations so too late for that! For alterations, I shortened the band and added padded cups with darts to secure a good fit. I love the look of Mimi Holliday's narrow unlined shoulder bras with this alteration as it gives great cleavage. The black lace is wispy at the edges and the grey band is an alternative to a strictly black bra. I do like the 32B unlined cups rather than the 28D lined or unlined as they offer a narrower cup width which I need. I've had the bra in rotation for a year now and finds that it hand washes up well.

Comfy bra but doesn't feel very supportive with only 1 row of hooks and eyes, which I don't really mind actually. I'm getting a bit of quad boob in it recently, after gaining some weight but it's not very noticeable because of the lace. I have short rooted breasts and the lace doesn't always lay flat but this doesn't really bother me.

This bra is 100% different than my other Mimi Holiday. This bra has a very stretchy band and is not closed on top. So it would probably work best for a 32 band even shape. However I have the set and it's one of my favourites. So my plan is to shorten the band and it should work well https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Very pretty bra i found very cheaply in TK Maxx clearance. 32 band is firm but comfortable. The cups seem quite tall on me but i am short. Doesn't give much lift or a brilliant shape but it's not meant for everyday use. It's more of a special occasion/sexy bra. The matching briefs are lovely.

Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, very soft tissue, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG

As my size is now completely dicontinued, I guess I'm glad that it is not a perfect fit. It does have lots of immediate project - but not quite enough, and it is only medium support with a very natural shape. There is not enough room for my centre fullness - I get a very soft tack. The straps are pleasantly set narrow enough, but are narrow and only half adjustable. Only two hooks, but set an inch apart so hard on extenders.

Not enough immediate projection. Just as well, I think Mimi Holliday has dropped their larger cup sizes. Plus, wires are not quite firm enough. I only get a soft tack and I prefer a harder tack.

Narrow wires, sturdy firm band, only two hooks, but set an inch apart. No side boning but good side seam. Gore and wing height just tall enough for security, only just. Straps are only half adjustable, not ribbed or scalloped, and narrower for this size range, though front and over the tops of the shoulders they are foam wrapped in silk satin that feels very nice and will pleasantly slide off my shoulders with less friction!

Cups are soft mesh lined orange-red lace - not quite invisible under white - with standard balcony cut and elastic edging the top. Frame, however, is neon pink. The red lace sits on top on the front frame, but back band is elastic mesh pink and definitely visible under white!

PS: it is a soft tack because it cannot accommodate my centre fullness at all! see photo

Colour and fabric wise this is a lovely bra and I found co-ordinating undies that are perfect. The cups fit excellently with a good swoop and scoop. What I do not like about this bra is the proportions. The straps are wide set, so with the combination of short cups and those wide straps it makes for an unpleasing balance on my torso. I had noticed this in pictures from other bratabasers but had dismissed this concern thinking that I would move the straps. I did move the straps and it did look better but then there was uncomfortable rubbing at the underarm area that I did not accustom to. I did not want to do major adjustments as my sewing skills are not up for that challenge. I moved the straps back as remains pretty and very comfortable. I, personally, would not get the same style unless it had lace at the top to balance the shape out.

This is from the SS 2012 collection. Mimi Holliday fans will know that bras prior to SS 2013 run a size small. This is so tiny that I can't wear it at all, which is a shame because it would have been a perfect lightweight Summer or bedroom bra. The print is fun and interesting and the quality and comfort are outstanding. Sigh.

It is a petrol/blue coloured camisole size L. Petrol fabric is silk and cups are blue stretch lace (tag says 94% silk, 6% elastane). Straps are partly adjustable, just like normal bra straps. Here is a commercial picture of it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mimi-Holliday-Azure-Allure-Camisole/dp/B0093653IQ

I had to order size L due to availability, so I altered the "band" down. I sewed a fold to each side, the band length is dimished about 4 inches in total. The "band" length is now about 68 cm non-stretched and 74 cm stretched. Cups are okay for me but since the fabric is stretch lace, they would be okay for bigger boobs as well. I usually wear 28F or 28FF in bras. There is a button closure at the back.

I also got matching panties size M. They have a button closure on the back. They work well for my 38 inches hips. The cut is quite loose so the waist of the panties if what determines if they fit or not - the waist is about 76 cm.

This might be possibly the weirdest bra I have ever had. It is simultaneously too small (gore faaar away from the body, boobs escape on the sides of the cups) and too big (cups wrinkle, can't fill them). The band is a standard 34.

Super cute bra! Unfortunately, the band is too big for me despite running small. The cups are made of very thick fabric layers, so it gives the appearance of gaping, even though its not really doing that. A 30DD would probably look better on me.

I am normally a huge Mimi Holliday fan but this one just didn't quite fit. Both the straps and band were weirdly long in my usual 32 (I had the straps fully tightened and they were still a bit loose), and the cups in my usual DD gape very slightly near the gore on my smaller side, I think the balconette style isn't as good on me as the brand's plunge and moulded styles. I got it at a heavy discount and the colour and fabric are fabulous so I may keep it, but compared to my other Mimis it's a bit ... meh.

Another excellent fit for my wide-rooted, shallow breasts from Mimi Holliday. This was the first time I'd tried their shoulder bra style, which I was a bit dubious about at first (seemed like it would be very "covered up", also less strap adjustment space) but it's actually very flattering and supportive, plus the lacy bits can look cute over the neckline of an off-shoulder top. It is also very, VERY bright green.
