This is the first bra from figleaves house brand Just Peachy that I have had. I was looking for an everyday nude bra, but I think the search with have to continue. The cups are made of a slightly stretchy but soft lace, and are more full cup than balconette. They covered essentially all my breast tissue. The shape I got from this bra was only a bit lifted, but nicely rounded, rather than a natural pointy shape. The only real problem I had with this bra was the gore; I think it is due mainly to the cups being a touch big, but it actually gave me a bruise on my sternum. Even when I switched back to a well-fitting bra, my sternum still hurt. Many of the reviews I had read said the bra ran small over all, but I didn't think that was the case; the band was quite tight, but I think the cups were true to size or a touch big.
First thing I noticed after putting it on is that the center gore is very wide! The straps also cut in under my armpits a bit, but that's a problem I have with most bras just due to having a short stature.
The white/mink design has definitely got a quaint, vintage feel. It comes up a little too high on the chest. The material is also not very stretchy, and coupled with the scalloped top design, it gapped up top since I'm more full on bottom. If it weren't for the lack of stretch, I would fit perfectly in this.
I like the almost-sheer cups but the seams are very thick and white and show under shirts, even though the embroidered details are more subtle. It's very annoying.
This is a very pretty black bra by Figleaves which also didn't fit my fitting victim. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> It's padded and the band is mesh which is partially see-through. There's some floral mesh over the cups. The straps are rather narrow (only 1 cm) and they have some lining from the outside which feels smooth, like satin.
I kinda went out on a limb in ordering this. There were nearly no reviews online, and I knew I would have to buy a 30 band instead of my usual 28 because this bra begins at 30. On top of all of that, this was the first unlined bra I've ever owned. It was so gorgeous that I just had to buy it.
While I'm not sure if the shape it gives is to be expected of unlined bras, I really didn't like the shape it gave me. Call me a sucker for moulded t-shirt bras, but this looked kinda pointy, kinda droopy, compared to the lovely roundness ...I'm used to.
When I first looked at this bra the wires seemed ridiculously narrow to me, yet after putting it on it wasn't a problem. Also, I get the tiniest bit of wrinkling in the cups, along the seaming down the center. It's not really enough to be a problem, but it's there.
I have to wear this on the 3rd set of hooks, a crime in the world of well-fitting bras, but this one was so cute I bought it in the wrong band size anyways.
So far I have yet to wear this anywhere but to bed as I can't get over how odd the shape looks to me under clothes. However, I'm planning to keep it because at the very least, I'll have an adorable pink and turquoise bra to wear to sleep. It's rather comfortable as well.
I thought I'd note that on first receiving the bra, a few pieces of the embroidery were already coming out, so I can't say that this is the absolute highest quality bra. Read more 176 more words
Thanks for the review. It looks like the Just Peachy 30 band is a true to size or even loose 30 band. Since I wear 28 or 30 bands, that is good to know. I am puzzled by your description of the shape. From your side profile photo, the shape looks quite uplifted and rounded to me. It may not be quite as snub-nosed as in the padded bras you've provided side views of (Cleo Darcy, Freya Deco Strapless), but to me the side shape is far from pointy. I like a rounded side profile, and this Just Peachy Daisy bra looks like a winner to me. The colors are gorgeous, too. The band being too loose, though--that's not a good thing.
The shape is just something I'm not completely used to, and at some angles it looks a lot better than others. I plan to alter the band after I can no longer wear it on the last hook so that it would be about the measurements of a 28.
Pretty bra that is fairly comfortable, though a little scratchy. The underwire pokes into my underarms a bit, but usually I don't notice it. The band is fairly tight for a 30.
I love this bra and it fits very well, aside from the fact that the band is a bit stretched out from wear. The band in a 30 is actually a lot shorter than a 30 Parfait so I'm guessing it runs on the small side, with the cups running true to size. This bra fits me as all 30C Just Peachy Bras do (though the lace ones seemed to not have the band stretch out as much). The bra is very flattering and easily worn under most clothes. The lace accents (at the gore, the sides, and the top edges near the straps) are very pretty. Also there are little bows on each strap. This makes the bra prettier.
I own two t-shirt bras from Figleaves/Just Peachy -- white and pink. They are practical and good under most clothing. Unfortunately the bands stretched out fast and as I'm already a 26" underbust this is a problem. The cups fit true to size and the band felt true to size or slightly small, though now the bands are definitely too big.
I bought this bra in both black and white and they fit very well. I have a 26" ribcage, but find the 30's run small in the band and I think the lace keeps them from stretching out too much (a problem with my Just Peachy t-shirt bras). I find this bra pretty and simple, easily worn under most clothing despite the lace.
I -LOVE- this bra. It's too bad that they only make super-lacy bras in 30E, because otherwise this is all I would wear. The lace is very thick and does show through. However, the bra fits me perfectly, and it very reasonably-priced.
Very pretty, the material looks like it's good quality, moreso considering it cost £14. However, it stretches quite a lot, similarly to Fantasie bras, and I feel like the cup is small (ordering the 32G). The lace is very soft, feels like cotton to the touch and not synthetic as I expected for a bra that cheap.
I had ordered the 34F, only to find it a bit too loose on the band - but I can't even close this one! So it's going back, again.
Apart from that, same as all the others, it doesn't look as cheap as it is, but the beige is quite golden (as opposed to other nudes that tend to be pinkish-beige).
Finally I figured out my size in this model - the band is tighter than most bras, though the cup is quite similar. However, the underwire is quite narrow and the cup deeper.
It's a very pretty and cheap lace bra, and comfort is excellent, but it's more covering than most balconette - I'd say it's between a full cup and traditional balconettes.
the bra band and straps stretch out pretty fast... i hooked on the outest hooks in the morning, and have to move in to the middle hooks at the afternoon, and innest hook in the evening. same for the strap.
nude colour has larger cutting compared to white colour bra for the same model.
As with seemingly every bra ever made, the cups were set too far apart for me. This particular bra was also too small in the cups and loose in the band, but doesn't seem to come in a larger cup size or smaller band size. Judging by the fit, I probably could have gone down to a 28E or F if it came in those sizes. Might work OK for someone with a larger ribcage and smaller breasts.
