This bra interests me and I would like to subscribe to its newsletter... in a different size, maybe.
Aesthetics: The print on the lower portion of the cups is beautiful and interesting. The pink color is is light and feminine.
Comfort: YES, all of the above. It's a Mimi Holliday so it is made of softness and unicorn pillows. The fronts of the straps are covered in silk for extra softness and the wires are very comfortable.
Fit: The cups are wide and a touch large, and the straps might not adjust short enough for those who have high-set boobs. I am set fairly low and still had to tighten the ...straps as far as they would go. This might also be partly because the cups are a little too big for me. The gore is nice and narrow though!
Coverage: Lots of it, which is nice. Good top coverage for those who have tall tissue. Generous sides give a nice secure feeling similar to the 60E - Comexim » Coco (381). Even the band is nice and wide- a double hook, and the hooks are set far apart.
Miscellaneous: Four sets of hooks! Man, I really wish the cups weren't so wide. Read more 92 more words
This bra is really comfortable and cute for me. It seems I'm destined to be stuck to these super deep plunge half cups because of my shallow breast shape..
The quality seems very high in both materials and make. Straps are comfortable, light padding is nice and the satin & lace on the front of the cups is lovely.
Only problem I have is the top of the cups is sewn in such a way that it is slightly thicker and shows under a tee.
Nipples barely covered.
Got it on sale and it is still a rather pricy bra.
Edit: After a month or so of owning this the band is stretching fast. Still comfortable and supportive but I've had to move to the next hook already.
I have had problems with balconette style bras by Mimi Holliday where as I am full on the bottom and I have had Mimi bras where the cups are to close together. I have neither of those problems with this bra. It is practically perfect. The only thing (and this is far from a deal breaker) is the straps are a little far apart for me I never thought of myself as having particularly narrow shoulders, but I definitely do not have broad shoulders so maybe it's just me. I do love this bra, the fabric is soft and as usual I have no problems or discomfort with the wires in any Mimi Holliday bras. I love the pattern on the satin, a sort of mix of sexy and sweet. I am very excited about this bra!
I stalked this bra for months like a crazy person until I finally found someone who had one for sale on Vinted and she was willing to ship it to me!
It does not disappoint in any way. It is technically not a perfect fit on me but it's really comfortable and beautiful. I use it mostly as a PMS bra for when I am too sensitive to tolerate a tight band, plus the foam feels nice and protective and the high quality means no scratchy or pokey bits. The print makes me so happy. I LOVE polka dots.
If you're considering this bra, I would say that it ...runs a size large in the band and a touch large in the cups. This is an older Mimi Holliday bra so the same may not be true for newer models. Based on my experience with this bra, the "balcony" models have significantly more cup height than the "fully padded super plunge" models, which might explain why the cups seem larger on this bra than on the 30D - Mimi Holliday » Peacock Fully Padded Super Plunge (SS15-1.

This is a quaintly printed bra (very feminine and cute) with the rare double hook enclosure that Mimi Holliday stubbornly refuses to construct en masse in their line-up. It contains my torso chub with more success than the single hook version. I also have the Jam Roly Poly model (same cut as the blueberry) and I find that the lace on the top of the cup is too wide from an aesthetic point of view in both of the models. While I marked down that this bra is not a good fit, wire alterations and lace modifications will prove to make this bra a comfortable and beautiful addition to my bra collection. I am looking forward to panty shopping for a complete look. Thanks for the bratabase bargain! Update: I have done the necessary alterations ( sewed in a bra liner only!) and found pretty pretty pretty coordinating undies. The bra is wonderful and comfortable two full days in a row.
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.
I wore and loved this bra for a few months but I have since realized that the 28Es in this brand fit me better. It has been hand washed and is in great shape. It is loaded with beautiful detail and overall is quite comfortable. Note that the straps are typical Mimi Holliday wide set. I particularly like the feel of the silk on the straps.
This bra is nearly new. I wore it a handful of times before I realized it is a cup size too small. I also think the shape is better suited to a more even fullness - top and bottom. I would say it runs true to size if the shape suits you. It is a beautiful bra as you can see from the photos. The lace is extremely comfortable. I have several Mimi Hollidays and while I am finding that some styles suit me better, I love the feel of all of them.
An excellent bra for shallow bras with a narrow root. The lace is rather itchy however, and the cups are too small for me (as it fits more like a 28D).
I have wide, shallow breasts that are conical in shape, and I am fairly muscular.
This is my fourth Mimi Holliday Padded Super Plunge. The first three were all from 2012 (one in 30D and two in 28DD), and this one is from SS 2013. Unfortunately, they've made some changes between 2012 and 2013, and it no longer fits me as well as it used to. Here's a summary of the changes:
-The straps are a bit thicker/wider -The straps have a better slider thingy so that it's much less prone to slipping and becoming longer throughout the day -The cups are a bit wider -The straps are farther apart -The ...cups are a bit deeper
Except for the straps being farther apart than they used to be, I understand why they made these changes - it'll fit better for the average person. It just fits worse for me. And none of these are radical changes, but they're definitely enough to make me reconsider buying one again. I'm thinking that it might fit better in 28D now, but it's simply too expensive of a bra to experiment with.
Other than the changes, it's still a beautiful, comfortable bra. I'd never pay full price for one (and never have), but if you can find it for half off or less, I would still recommend it for someone who is shallow (but not too shallow) and has wider shoulders.
And here's my standard warning for all Mimi Holliday bras: you MUST hand wash them! Do not let these bras go into the washer, or heaven forbid, the dryer. If you do, the band will lose all elasticity ridiculously quick. Read more 169 more words
I heard this bra was good for wide shallow breasts, which is what I have. I don't know if there is something wrong with my boobs but sure it fitted.. until I put my arms above my head - huge gaping!
I also think it was much too wide for me and the straps were sooo far apart. Maybe I should have ordered a 28D, but I couldn't be bothered trying it again. Also Mimi Holliday's very stretchy bands have turned me off forever.
Forgot to take measurements and pictures before sending it back https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I have shallow, conical breasts that are moderately wide. I am also fairly athletic and have prominent back muscles.
I had purchased a Mimi Holliday padded super plunge previously in 30D, but the 28 band is so much better for me. Other than that, the two bras are essentially the same. The cut and the fit seem to be identical.
Basically, this bra fits me perfectly (for the most part). The fabric is so comfortable. The gore is just the right height.
Cons:
- Like the Mimi Holliday Whiskey Sour Fully Padded Super Plunge (SS12-171) I purchased at the same time, this one also does ...the flippy thing on the top edge of the cup. It's frustrating because the bra is perfectly fit, but the fabric is bulky and really sticks out at the edge of the cup.
- Straps are very stretchy and don't really adjust short enough. A pox on manufacturers that don't offer fully adjustable straps!!
- The straps are set a bit far apart for me (a problem I have with most bras, though).
- There's only one hook per column. Why?!
- My experience with my old Mimi Holliday Azure Allure Silk Satin & Lace Super Plunge Bra (AW12-200) tells me that you MUST baby this bra. Do not wash this in the washing machine (even on delicate cycle in a bag)! If you wash it in the washing machine, the elastic in the band will wear out ridiculously fast. Read more 145 more words

@turtlegurl38 mentioned that the cups run small - ...I think I disagree. I think that it's just an extraordinarily shallow bra. I'm guessing that you should go with whatever size you wear in the Curvy Kate Tempt Me (SG4001) (another bra that is very shallow).
Cons:
- Like the turtlegurl38 's bra, mine also does the flippy thing on the top edge of the cup. It's frustrating because the bra is perfectly fit, but the fabric is bulky and really sticks out at the edge of the cup.
