Bra fitting help » Just Peachy Talia 30E, why don't fit?
Just Peachy » Talia T-shirt Bra (b-gg) (133506) » 30E 30:6
Issue resolved
I will keep searching for a different t shirt bra, this bra definitely doesn't work.
Original problem
I thought this bra was ok, and was ok until the third wear, probably was not ok before but I didn't realice. The main problem is that the gore is totally floating, I usually have problems with gores but not like this. Cups squashed my boobs at the bottom and the cups they're so tall that the part next to the straps rub my armpits.
I remember I had a similar issue with Freya Patsy, I thought is was because a wrong bra size (too big band) but probably was the shape, , shape incompatibility?, too shallow?, too wide?, I don't know!.
I have 2 Just Peachy Talia, the beige is the worst, the only difference I found is that the wing is a little more tall and the band a little more firm, but the difference is minimal, with the navy Talia the fit issues are less obvious.

This just looks like it's not a very good shape for you--too shallow at the center, and does not conform to the shape of the breast since it is a molded cup. It also seems exceptionally small in the band for a 30, which I believe is common for Just Peachy in many of their designs... with your measurements you'd normally be perfectly comfortable in a 30 in most brands but this one looks like this could be smaller than you need, and this might be the real cause of the armpit issues. When there is more tension on the band, it can dig in awkwardly. Ifyou love the bra you can throw on an extender (not the ones with elastic, a plain one) to add half an inch or an inch and see if that helps--but I suspect it may be a cup shape issue instead.

Yes, it sounds like unfortunately it's a cup shape issue. "Having projection" is relative, it might be a more projected cup than average but not as much as what you need. In your size range it's harder to find molded bras with really significant projection and enough room to accommodate center fullness!

Thanks, yes, I think is the shape, and maybe the gore is too wide too, usually gores are too wide for me.
It's a nice bra, I think I still can wear my other Talia (navy) because the floating gore is not so bad, but still need a better tshirt bra.
Maybe Freya Deco could work?, I'm afraid that will not work because is a plunge.

I would look at Polish bras to be honest. I think you are very limited in terms of UK bras because you need a small band, basically a tight 28 or a VERY tight 30. In my opinion Freya's 28s have every chance of being too loose for you, I know they are supposedly not as loose as they used to be, but ... yeah.
Have you tried any Cleos? They run a bit snug so their 28s could be good for you. Maybe the Juna?

Thanks, yes, polish bras works for me, I have tried Comexim (half cups with customizations), in a wrong size, but even with a wrong size are quite comfy, and I have tried Ewa Michalak (M Syrena and CH Onyks) but they have too wide set straps, I love EM but I think I need to alter the straps to make the bras wearable.
I never tried Cleo Juna, but I do have 3 Cleo Maddies and I think is a similar model, I love my Maddies but they have too wide set straps (but still wearable, not so much problem), Juna have wideset straps too?.
Maybe I can find a tshirt bra in another polish brand, I will search, there a lot of polish brands!

The Maddie is known for being shallow, the Juna is better for projection. For a similar width in your size range the Juna seems to offer about 1/2 inch more depth which makes a big difference in projection.
I'm not sure about the straps. Unfortunately the Polish brands seem to have quite a big strap problem too, but Comexim will move them in for you if you order direct. They customize a lot, so maybe that would be a good option, I think they try hard to help and give the customer what they need!

Thanks!, I think the Juna should work, the extra 1/2 inch is welcome, I think have less wideset straps that the Maddie, at least in the photos looks that way, and I saw a beige Juna that could work (I need a beige bra to replace my Talia).
And yes, Comexim is awesome about alterations!, my Comexim have the straps moved inward and they are perfect, but I have ordered the wrong size (too small cup because the gore and straps changes and small band because the extra rows of hooks), next time I will order the same changes but in a bigger band and cup size (65H), I hope this time work.
Thanks!
Yeap, the band is small but is perfect for me, for that reason I thought will work, the band is the only thing comfy, I usually I can't wear a 30 band (I have rib flares all over my ribcage, if the band move, hurt, I need a band that don't stretch more that 27).
The issue is not the armpit but was the only issue close in the fit form I can find, the issue is the strap in the outer top side, is not because the straps are too wideset is because are too tall!, rubs my tail of spense.
But the main issue is the floating gore, it's weird.
I tried with an extender, then the whole front of the bra float over me half inch, I had a similar issue before with a Freya Patsy, I think is something wrong with the cup or underwires but can't figure out what i'ts, the shape?, maybe to flat at the bottom of the cup?, but I thought this bra, like Lulu Tout Madeline have inmediate projection.
