This is definitely constructed for someone taller in mind. I'm only 5'2" so the underwires poke quite a bit into my sternum and the straps cut around my armpits.
However that aside, the fit is perfect! I aim to just bend the underwires a bit away from my sternum to alleviate that discomfort and I'll be good to go. I love my shape in this, very round and forward, but still natural--and uplifted!
Two points on the appearance however. This is clearly meant to emulate Panache's Sienna balconette, but the material is much cheaper looking. The lace is a lot thicker and less delicate, by which I was disappointed. To make up for it, the price is a very reasonable alternative, so I can't complain. The other thing is that the lace comes up quite high. I was expecting something cuter like the design on the smaller busted models in the website catalog, but I suppose that's just something you have to get used to in these larger sizes.
Pros: -Beautiful design, exquisite detailing, tons of care taken to make this a gorgeous bra -The padding is so perfectly thin and light -The wires are so narrow, they outline my boobs near perfectly -The gore is narrow -The gore soft tacks (I like this) -The straps are thin -The band is thin -There's room at the bottom of the bra for my boobs without them having to push the bra down -The straps are not in my armpits -Cups are average depth (they look shallow but they're not) Cons: -The cups and band both run a bit small -There isn't room for a lot of fullness near the gore -The lace detail is not attached to the cup so it bunches up a bit when you're wearing the bra (could be fixed with a couple of stitches) -The straps aren't fully adjustable (this isn't a problem for me but it might be for some -The cups have a half cup feel and look, there's a lot of boob and cleavage hanging out of the top of the cup
This is the BEST fitting bra I have ever Tryed on,! I'm hoping I can bend the wires in the center gore a bit so they don't dig. The wires come up really high but I don't mind the height, just the dig. I got this used so the band is totally broken in but it fits well on the last hooks. I'll be looking into new Just Peachy bras because I liked this one so much,! They don't go down to 28 bands but this 30 is pretty firm.
I measured myself, and in the time it took to arrive from the UK, my boobs went up 1-2 cup sizes. I tried really hard to make this bra work, but it's just too small for me. Besides that, the quality isn't particularly great. The cup curled immediately. The wires are narrow which is nice, but it isn't projected outward, so it ends up being a bra with really tall cups. It's comfortable and affordable though and looks really nice, so if it actually fit me, I assume it would be a decent t-shirt bra.
The Eva seems to run small in the band. This 30G stretches to 28, which is about as small as my ribcage can handle. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The cup material is a little stretchy and allows for some movement, and there is elastic across the top to close it. The appearance is lovely--a bit of shine to the lace, and a gorgeous color scheme. The straps are too short and thin for me.
About to give up on t-shirt bras. None have enough immediate projection or depth. This one has more depth than most in my size. Perhaps if the immediate projection was better , this depth would work. I've come to the conclusion that I have short roots , so therefore the cups are just too tall for me and I don't fill the top very well, especially on my smaller breast. The front center gore has elastic criss crossing in the gore and so the fit is snug. I normally wear a 28GG. This band fits like a 28 , so I'd definitely size up in band size
When I took this bra out of it's packaging, I thought "those cups looks far too small". Once I started to put it on, it seemed that it was going to be perfect, a tacking gore, right band size, cups that didn't wrap around my sides ... then I did the swoop and scoop, no good.
This bra cuts in across the top of my breasts and I wouldn't say that I am full on top by any means - a common problem I have with full cup bras is a gap at the top. The bottom of my breasts also takes on a strange shape.
After I took ...the pics I tightened the straps which did improve things but the problems remained, not to mention, the straps were then cutting into my shoulders.
It's a shame because it's a lovely looking bra when it's off me and I also bought the matching brief - no point in unpacking them.
My mind is working on what I can do to minimise the top cut in (eg. remove the stabiliser) and whether some judicial seaming would fix that strange shape.
Update: It seems gravity may have solved the cutting in at the top without my intervention. Unfortunately exercise aversion has resulted in some weight gain and although my other bras with a 30 band still fit me, I have to use an extender with this one for it to be comfortable. Win some, lose some I guess. Read more 134 more words
This bra is really cute and dainty. However, I like a stretchy 30-32 inch band, and this one is too firm for my comfort! Nice and narrow cups with great all-around projection. The lace on the top edge of the cups does not have much give, and I think it would suit someone who is FOB more than myself.
Nearly the perfect bra for me. Projected, Narrow, wire width is amazing, and not too short under the arm, or too short/tall at the gore.
Except, it's definitely an FoB style. The size is right - maybe on the small side of a 30, but I'm between sizes, so that works for me very well. I'm going to alter it to see if I can create more depth up top, because it causes quadboob on me (and doesn't exist in a 30GG to try), but is otherwise perfect.
It reminds me of Bravissimo Alana, but less of a vintage shape, a little more rounded, and not as tall in the cup, with narrower wires.
This bra fits me beautifully https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> it has a decent amount of immediate projection, doesn't cut in on top (nor does it gap). It feels a lot like the Cleo Lucy.
The first home measuring I did have me 30G so I ordered this off of Fig Leaves to try on. The gore tacks fine and the band was comfortable, possibly a little loose on me, but the cups seem to be too large for my breasts. I filled out the bottom of the cups fine but there was quite a lot of space on top. It also have me a somewhat cone shape but that might have been because it was too large. Perhaps this was just a shape issue and this bra might work better for someone more FoT or projected. I've remeasured myself a couple of times since then have gotten a range of 28G/30FF/G so I shall keep trying a variety of things.
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.
