Really cute longline with a fun square back, but just does't fit. I need a 28-30 band and this 32 is just a little loose on the tightest hooks. I also feel like it might be too low on the side boob region for me. I am very wide rooted and I like a little more support on the outsides. The gore is very low, which I appreciate. Lefty fits well, though righty gapes a a little near the top. Such is the downside of cut and sew foam. Otherwise, very cute.
Just too big all around for me and was purchased before I knew what to look for in a bra. Cups are VERY separated and on the narrow side, and the straps are only 1/2 way adjustable because of the extra lace detailing on the front side.
The plastic boning is uncomfortable, the straps are a yarn like material that quickly stretches out, the cups don't sit on my sternum, the gore gaps and the fabric doesn't move with your body. Overall, this bra provides no support. However, it would make a cute top.
My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle.
This review is for the Powder Pink colorway.
This is a very pretty longline bra, but please note that these run very small - I tend to wear 30FFs and 32Fs, but now I have this 34D that fits great? So keep that in mind!
The Mimi (and its matching thong) is a lot more Pretty than I usually wear - I tend to go more for Cute - but the pink-and-ivory was just too sweet, I couldn't resist. It has 3 sets of 5 hooks and is a non-pushup plunge (hooray for me!), and ...the band is lightly boned. The cups are moulded foam and give a very structured round shape. The lace overlay is exactly that: an overlay, so you don't have to worry about any itchy lace either!
I do have very wide and tall roots, and the cup doesn't make it all the way back to the edge of my breast tissue (past all my shirt side-seams!), but it also doesn't cut in anywhere, even on the top. In spite of that teensy fit issue, it's a very comfy bra. Read more 88 more words

This review is for the Blue Paisley colorway.
I found this bra on the clearance rack at Nordstrom right as I was about to check out. When I couldn't find my size on the tag I was disappointed, but decided to try on the 32D anyway to see what size I ought to look for online, and to my surprise, the 32 was too small. I found the 34D and tried that one, and then spent so long in the changing room convinced that SOMETHING must be wrong with the fit and I just ...wasn't seeing it that the bra fitter came to check on me and was also surprised, but fit it does.
So, this band runs small, I guess! Pro-tip.
The Mimi has 3 sets of 5 hooks and definitely qualifies as a longline, and the band is lightly boned. It also has a great plunge, which I love. The moulded foam cups are structured moulded foam and give a good rounded shape, but are not pushup [in spite of the plunge, which is nice]. It is stylish enough that if it peeks out from under your top, no one knows it's just a bra! Read more 101 more words
Nice bra, and I love longlines. But I guess I was fitted wrongly at Nordstrom as the band is too wide and the cups to small (spillage, not flat against sternum). For those who, it fits, it could be lovely.
