Admittedly, this is a sister size (I usually work best in a 28G), but the band is tight enough that it doesn't make much of a difference brand new. We'll see how it goes with continued wear. This bra only quadboobs very slightly

Great for wide, shallow breasts. However, my breasts have recently gotten slightly more projected so the bottom of the cups are actually a bit too shallow for me.
The band runs small and fits snug for a 28'' underbust.

It fits great initially, but as the day goes on the fabric falls down and the top starts cutting in across my breasts. It seems to be a FoB friendly, not FoT friendly bra. The band is pretty snug, so it's ideal for someone who needs a 28 band.

The material of the cups is just thick enough to feel comfortable and not too revealing. However, the cups give me a bullet bra shape.

Wow the band runs small on this bra! I measure 26.5" underbust so an overly snug 30 band doesn't bother me but if you measure more than 28", I would bump up to a 32 band in this bra. The design of the bra is such that the back is higher than the front no matter what. It's not riding up because it's too snug for that but I question the level of support it provides with the back curving up higher than the front.
A review on the figleaves site had mentioned the cheap looking lace on this bra. I disagree, it's lovely and overall the quality of ... materials is very good. And this purple color is much better in person, online it looked too reddish.
The apex is very high on the cup, so this might be a better choice for full on bottom breasts like mine. The wires are pretty narrow and the cup fabric is deep and stretchy, this is not a bra for wide-rooted shallow girls but works for me.
The cups push all the breast tissue to the front and center, very forward pointing with smooth sides.
The skinny elastic band at the top of the already stretchy lace panel seems unnecessary and creates a slight quadboob on my larger side. On full on top breasts, I imagine this would be problematic.
When wearing just the bra, I thought it gave a very pointy shape. But under clothes it's a rounded natural shape.
I liked the fit and comfort of this bra until I wore it all day and my sternum was so bruised I couldn't wear an underwire bra at all the next day. I don't know if this is due to wires that are too high or low but I think I need to bend them.
ETA: I just bought 2 more of these in 30FF because my breasts seem to have inflated/grown and I am crazy quadboobing.

Similar fit and seam cuts to the Just Peachy Lace padded balconette, except I got the lace balconette in 30B and it was just almost too small so I thought I'd try a 30C in this...cups are definitely a size too big and I can't fill them! Will be ordering down 1 size.
The band is also stretchier than the Lace Padded balconette so beware! Very cute look though and extremely comfy for a padded bra.
If I had to compare this bra to a non Just-Peachy bra, perhaps the Betsey Johnson Zipper/Stocking stripe bra, except this Just Peachy bra is more open on top, but the amount of room/space is pretty similar.

The band on this bra is pretty tight, which is great for me because I measure more of a 28 than a 30, but it's pretty stiff/tight even on me. The cups seem slightly smaller than my Just Peachy Trellis, but I just bent the wires a little to make it wide enough for my boobs. I got the nude/red one and I really enjoy that color combo more than I thought I would. Very nice for shallow breasts, even though it has 1 horizontal seam

At first, the underwires and the gore of this bra really seemed to dig in to the bone against my underbust, and the first day I wore it, it was always noticeable and uncomfortable.
I think now after a few days the bra has settled out of the packaging (probably got squished around a bit?) and the underwires are much more comfortable (but still snug). Gore tacks amazingly...maybe almost too well since it's on the brink of digging in (but not). The wideness of this gore actually accommodates the wider set separation of my breasts so there's less gaping between breast & gore but a beautiful contour.
The cups fit ... absolutely perfect for my wider set, even shallow breasts. The shape is wonderful and lifts without being overly thick and padded The lace does seem to be a little on the cheapy quality end but I bought the hot pink so the color probably makes it seem that way. Lace is definitely discreet enough to sit under medium sheer shirts without showing bulk. The diagonal seam on the cups does make it just a tad pointy (in a horizontal way). I do have to wear this bra on the tightest hook since the band, being a 30, is still too big for my <28 underbust, but it's definitely snugger than most 30 bands I have tried.
Underbust: 27.5 Bust: 31.5-32
Great bra for the price, highly recommended for small & shallow, espec. if you are stuck between the 28C/D range. I probably could fit in the 30C since my left boob is alllllmost quadboobing out of the top but it's not a "cut in" but a nice rounded cleavage. 30C might be more coverage.

Comfortable bra only downside is it doesn't give me any shape. It more of flattens me. Also the gore sits higher then what I'm use to and currently digs in but I think that will stop once I've gotten use to a higher gore.

Good fit, depending on the day. Sometimes I get a bit of wrinkling in the cup but nothing major. This feels like a slightly better fit, cup wise, than the 34E, though sometimes by the end of a long day the 32 can start to feel uncomfortably tight. Really pretty and well constructed bra at a decent price.
My only complaint (and I've seen this mentioned before) is that sometimes when I'm moving around the wire makes a funny squeaky noise.

This is by far my favorite bra. Super comfy, perfect fit, pretty. My only complain is that the wires are too far apart for my close-set boobs, but I altered the gore and sewed the wires together and it's perfect now. Band runs tight, fits more like a 30E than a 32DD. I wish they made it in more colors.

This was the first bra I bought after trying correct sizing, but I miscounted and ordered a cup size larger than I should have. The band on this bra is TIGHT. My underbust measurement is just barely under 30 inches and I can't get this hooked unless I exhale and stretch it all the way out. The straps are also short and dig into my shoulders even when fully extended. Because it's the wrong size, the cups are a tad too roomy in the front. I ended up altering the bra.

I love almost everything about this bra. The underwires are padded with a comfy material, the band is snug but not too tight (it's bigger than the 30f model I tried first), and the cups don't show through most of my shirts despite the lace and seems. Unfortunately, the straps don't extend very much and are fairly wide-set, which makes the bra uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Band is just right, cups seem to be the right width, gives decent lift and shape. The only problem is that I have some wrinkling at the top of the cups. I think that my soft breasts (once again) need a shallower cup. Great bra for someone with a bit more projection, though. Comfortable, inexpensive , and it comes in pretty colors.
ETA: After a couple of days, the wrinkling problem is getting better. I'm not sure if it's a bit of tissue migration, or the fabric or what, but it's a pretty good fit now.

It's the scratchiest out of all the bras I own, but it's still really comfy. The lace is stretchy and accomodates a lot, but is still too small. Going to try a 30FF and see how that is in comparison. Narrow wire, which is great for me, but might not be for everyone. I feel like it gives me a 'soft hills' but a slightly pointy look, which is fine by me.

Way too small in the cups. The band is bigger than i usually wear but it stays snug because the cups are so small. I wore it once and felt totally self conscious. I ended up getting the same one in a 32F which looks a lot better.

Actually bought this bra for my daughter to try. She is very petite, with high-set breasts, and while the cups weren't too far off, the wings were WAY too high for her, and cut into her armpits. I suspect it would be just fine on someone with a longer torso, or lower-set breasts.

I love the look and feel of this bra. It's incredibly pretty, as well as soft, and light.The band, as well as the underwires, fit like gloves. Overall, I get a little of the "orange in a glass" issue with these cups...their shape just isn't quite right for me...They wrinkle at the tips, making me want to squeeze my boobs like un-fluffed pillows and shove them into the cups. Under clothing I love the lift and the round shaping this bra gives me. The outer lining of the cup is noticeably "loose" on the cup, and it is super crinkly. It doesn't form to the inner lining, so the cups can look bumpy under some of my shirts. I tried "filling out" the cups with "no-peek" pads and even "push-up" pads, but no matter how stretched out the inner cups were the outer lining wrinkled on the parts covering my nipples. It gives the appearance of "show through" even though it mesh outer lining, not tissue.

First off, I cut the last top part off the bra. The elastic caused it to wrinkle in a weird way even though it fit fine. It is now a half-cup that fits perfectly!
I measure a 30DD and fit perfectly into the padded version of this bra in that size. I heard you should go a cup size up in this non-padded version and it is true. I even have a slight quadboob but it isn't noticeable under clothes so it isn't an issue. This bra gives a very rounded shape which I love and nothing is too tight or pokes. It fits but it needed a little modification.

Almost but not quite fit. Cups are a touch too small, with definite cutting in on one side, and the gore seems too wide for long-term comfort for me. While the rest of the bra is pretty, the straps are your very basic ribbed strap, and there's something odd about the inside padding that makes it feel like it's wanting to stick to me.
Edit: turns out the bra fits MUCH BETTER when I'm not retaining water. Still a tiny bit of cutting in on my larger side, but not enough to bother me or to show under a shirt. Fits perfect on my smaller side.
