I was a little surprised the other day when I was informed that Peacocks now do lingerie up to a 44DD. I was even more surprised when I saw how pretty the bras are! I can’t lie, I was expecting some drab hammock looking things but I was actually greeted with some rather feminine pieces that I actually liked. What made it even better, was that all the bra’s were under £10.00! (Yes, I’m serious!) So naturally, I had to give them a go.
I tried the aqua spot mesh bra which is just so pretty. The mesh is double layered, the straps are wide and the side bands are actually REALLY generous. I was pleasantly surprised. A little more that pleasantly actually as I’ve struggled to take it off because it’s so comfy. I am wearing a 40DD and this bra is pretty spot on with sizing. One of the best I’ve tried. Hopefully you can see there is no ‘spillage‘ over the cup and the under-wire doesn’t dig in.
It isn’t the most supportive bra I’ve had but it’s not bad at all and the comfort really is far better than I expected. It doesn’t dig in to my sides or under my bust and this is pretty good considering it only has a 2 hook fastening. I have to say that I did try the T shirt bra which wasn’t as good a fit but was really great for shaping my bust .
Trying this bra has definitely made me realise that I need to shop around when it comes to underwear. There is an idea that the bigger the name and price tag, the better the bra. But I have to say, this Peacocks bra really puts that thought to the test and knocks it right out of the park. I’ve
already had a look at the rest of the range and I think I might need to go down a cup size in the T shirt bras but remain my normal 40DD in the rest. This spot mesh bra in pink is already in my shopping basket!
I thought I’d show you the T Shirt bra underneath a vest top. I think you’ll agree it’s a really smooth shape and once again not ‘spillage’ over the top of the cup. It wasn’t the best fit but I’m going to try a smaller cup size to see what it’s like. It’s also has adjustable straps which makes a price tag of £4.00 (yes £4.00) an absolute bargain!
