I was so excited when I was offered the opportunity to get a professional bra fitting and to learn about this company. I have to admit that I had never heard of Peach before, but boy was I impressed. Wait, let me back up…I hear you saying BRA fitting? Exciting? Yup. Allow me to explain. Having spent some time in the bra business many years back, I know how important wearing the right bra is. In my pre-baby life, I loved the prospect of heading over to Victoria’s Secret and buying a new bra. So many colors, styles, and don’t even get me started on the matching panties! After having a baby, a short stint as a breastfeeding mama, and you know, being OVER 40, bra shopping wasn’t quite as much fun as I had remembered. Enter the world of Peach! Your local Peach stylist can come to your home and fit you. Let me say that again. She can come to your home and fit you! For all you moms out there who are chained to your home during nap time (like me) this is such a great idea.
If you need an escape, she is more than happy to have you come to her home where she can fit you while you chat and giggle like it’s a sleepover.
No joke.
I actually had a great time at this fitting despite being in a stranger’s home essentially topless.
The fitting
As I mentioned, your Peach diva can fit you in your home or in this case, I met Mollie Milano at her home. This fitting was not a traditional fitting a la department store. Mollie took quite a few measurements and basically told me what I was thinking — my bra was the wrong size.
After this fitting, she walked through all the styles of bras with me to get a feel for what I liked. Was I looking for an everyday? Did I want something special for date night? She then matched me with the appropriate size for that particular bra. I mean she had me try each one on, checked the fit, and made sure there was no extra “stuff” poking out anywhere. She let me try the bras on with tanks and without so that I could get a feel for what I really liked and what felt comfortable. When I say that I had a great time, I’m not kidding. Mollie makes you feel like you’ve known her for years and with children of her own, she totally understands the struggles of post-pregnancy boobs.
The bras
Having never tried on a Peach bra, I was a little skeptical about whether or not I would like them. I’m a pretty devoted Wacoal customer, so I wasn’t expecting much. Boy was I surprised! Each of the bras I tried (and even those I didn’t) had quality fabric and a soft, comfortable feel. There were a number of different styles for every customer. I was also impressed that the bras come in sizes 30A all the way up to 46H. There is definitely a bra for everyone. Mollie was so helpful, she even let me try on a few bras which weren’t her choices, just so I could check them out. The best part about this line is that Peach is devoted to putting you in the right bra and not forcing your body type into one of the selections they carry. They carry some other brands to ensure that you get the best fit. If you sign up for their replenishment program, you get discounted bras each time. You can set your replenishment timing, although they do recommend replacing bras every 6-12 months. You know that yellowish bra that used to be white? Time to toss it!
Everything else
Not only do they carry some amazing bras, but they carry some awesome panties, tanks, and loungewear. As you’re reading this, I am wearing one of their must-have black fitted tanks and I love it! I tried on several of the tanks, which come in a variety of strap styles, and the super comfy cardigan. Some of these pieces can actually be worn out in public! Possibly one of the best things in the collection was the boy short panties, which come with a slightly longer leg for those summer dress days when you don’t want your thighs chafing in the heat. UH-MAZE-ING! Rumor has it that they will be planning to launch a swimwear line soon, but no dates have been finalized. Sign me up! Of course, the line comes with matching panties that fit all the way up to size 16. They have a range of styles here as well, depending on whether you’re looking for comfort or something a little more special. And, if you can’t meet Mollie in person, she can work with you via FaceTime or Video conference. The concise Peach measurement system enables this to really work!
I really and truly think this is a fabulous idea for moms everywhere! The right bra can make such a huge difference in how you look and feel. To me, this company is tailor-made for the busy mama.
- Convenient: You schedule the fitting on your own time in the location of your choosing.
- Stress-Free: No need to have a nineteen year old with a tape measure staring at your post-pregnancy boobs. Feel comfortable while getting your measurements.
- Great Product: You no longer have to choose between the flimsy strapped bra with no support or the 18 hook corset that grandma used to wear. The line is perfectly balanced in between.
- Affordable: These bras won’t break the bank either!
Why not get an expert fit in the comfort of your own home? Mollie was so wonderful that I didn’t feel as though I had to buy a million things either. Since all your information is stored, you can order anytime so a bra fitting every couple of months isn’t necessary; although recommended if you have a substantial change in your weight. Get your product delivered right to your door. My tank arrived so quickly! Warmer weather is quickly approaching (hopefully) so make sure the girls are looking good for the lighter clothing. You won’t regret it!

When was your last bra fitting?
Great review!! I’m way overdue for new bras and with these bras going through pregnancy too, I think they will deserve to be retired. 😉 I may have to check this out!
