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.

For reference, my idea size measures to between a 28C/28D (~27.5 underbust, 31.5 bust). I've been trying various 28Cs, Ds, and 30Bs & Cs.

The band on this 30C definitely feels closer to a 28...it is the sturdier and less stretchy of the TLBC bands that I've tried so far, and the 30 fit me best on the loosest hook. However, the cups are WAY too big and gap at the top, both by the straps on the outside and on the tops.

The cups are structured weird...they come with the padded petals, which really makes the cup stiff and shallow near the bottom. I am using them ... in the photo, but they add a squareish shape bulge to the bottom shape of the cup, not that attractive. Taking them out, the shape of the cup is better but still seems to be pretty stiff and wide.

The blue satin top of the cup is just very wide and would be useful if you are a little fuller near the middle or on top. I am fairly shallow so these cups clearly do not fit me. I am possibly going to try the 30B and see if the smaller cups make a different (minus the added padding).

The satin definitely has a very wrinkled feel to it, and the slate color was a much darker gray than was shown on the website.

Close, but I think the cups are just too wide out, and the cups near the bottom and the outer edges are shallow and flat and don't fit my breasts in them. The wires actually move down below my inframmory and there's a little crease sometimes that occurs.

The biggest disappointment was that the top of the cup curves in way too rapidly, causing a disruption in any smooth silhouette between breasts and cup. Instead of cupping and making the most of my shallow breast tissue, cup stops short and cuts right into it, leaving a ton of tissue out!

Cute bra, cup size is right, just definitely not the right shape for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This bra is not owned any more

To start, I'm in the process of resizing and refitting a correct size. I used to be a 32A and am debating between 28D/30C and 28C/30B. The following bra is a 28C which I have concluded is definitely a cup too small. If this bra came in a 28D it would work perfectly.

The cups on this bra are very shallow given the built-in padding in this bra. The cups had less covering for being a "C" cup than I originally envisioned given that the website lists this bra as a "t-shirt" bra. It seems closer to a demi/plung t-shirt bra.

The colors are beautiful, the cups are a ... very light nude color while the dark "mocha" lace has a mauve hint to it. This bra is definitely perfect for wearing smooth & thin t-shirts or tank tops, and I like the convertable strap option (can take straps off completely for halter & X backs)

One thing I noticed was that the bottom of the cup dented a bit at the bottom, probably due to the fact that I had too much boob to fill the cup, and thus the cup got a little smooshed and created an indentation (you might be able to see this in the "front" view photo I posted). I think if I have a better cup size this wouldn't be an issue.

The band fits very comfortably, not as stretchy as the "Nicole" band, but seems to be pretty true to a 28 (they mentioned on the site that this band is stretchier and thus, don't order up a size because other TLBC bands tend to run small). I am going to order a 30C and give the larger band/cup a shot since I don't think the band would be so stretchy that I end up on tightest hook to start.
