My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle.

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!
