Usually love Pepper bras, but the quality of Cotton Wirefree Bra La Vie did not live up to the price tag. The bra had poor stitching of the straps, causing the elastic fibers to stick out and poke uncomfortably. Unfortunately, I will not be wearing this bra. Added my old Pepper bra (nude) in photos for comparison of stitching styles.

I may have the wrong shape small breasts but the cups sit so wide apart that my areolas are visible. Also, the inserts get squished and shift during the wash and it literally took me 5 mins to insert them back the right way. Also, the return process is ridiculous. I need to provide photo proof of the item to be returned? The only reason I kept this bra is because i removed the tag and unlike any other store, I cannot return it like that. No thank you.

It's comfortable right when I put it on, but unfortunately the pads aren't sewn in and therefore they move around and roll up on the edges. Additionally, I've only worn it twice and the fabric is already pilling it. It has not be washed yet.

I really like the material of this bra and overall it is comfortable to wear. However, I was disappointed with the straps.
At the front of the straps there is a ring where the strap loops and attaches back onto itself. Unfortunately, this part feels quite sharp against the skin. Since the skin on the chest is very sensitive, this area presses into the skin and can feel irritating. I suspect this might be due to the elastic material used to keep the strap flexible, but it still causes discomfort.
Because of this, other models feel more pleasant to wear. I would personally prefer if the front rings were removed, as they seem unnecessary and create extra irritation.

I appreciate Pepper trying to use more natural fabric. It is soft, but not silky like SoftLife Modal. I’m okay with that. I think my skin likes the cotton. My issue is that the Large has larger cups but a shorter band than the Medium SoftLife I kept. I had recently ordered their band extenders, so I kept the bra. After all, it was an exchange for a different style that had both a short band and short straps. At least these straps are long enough. Also, I’m apparently a 38AA, so I still have a gap in the Large cup though less than in store bras.

This is my favorite style of bra from pepper but the cotton ones have removable pads that bunch and fall out in the wash. The other wire free bras of this style have built in pads. If I knew these were removable I wouldn't have purchased.

I was very excited to give this a try as I've been trying new bras left and right. While this is comfortable as a regular under the tee bra, once I crossed the back for a "racer back" type it just doesn't feel that great. Wish I could love it more but it'll be just another tee bra for now.

A good fit for me with a large band size and small cup. No gaps. My narrow shoulders require an elastic to hold straps together in back. I prefer a strap that can be easily removed from the back and resown closer to the middle opening. I also like to machine wash my bras.

The feel and fit are just perfect!!! And its really cute.

Love this fit and style.

This was my second bra after I got the size figured out. It will take some trial and error to figure out band sizes and strap tightness, as this bra is designed to actually fit how a bra is supposed to. The fabric is very soft and comfortable, and a wonderful switch from my polyester bras. Because of the cotton blend, the bra will pill, but I have not noticed this to give me any issues. I would recommend somehow modifying where the bra strap loops into the little circle on the front, perhaps sewing it directly on the bra, as the folding there is a slight sensory issue for me. I would also recommend tagless, printing the size and care information onto the bra. I would love it if skintone colors could be added. I would not go back to my old bras from Walmart. I did not think I could feel so cute in a bra, especially with the blue elements.

It took me a trial run to figure out my sizing, but the exchange process was very smooth. I would measure yourself twice and order once so you do not make the same mistake as me.

Soft, comfortable and slightly large for my AA size. It’s not too large to wear but wish it were a bit smaller

I'm on a natural materials journey, so I like that it's cotton AND has adjustable straps and a back clasp. Those features are hard combined in 1 bra. However, the inserts don't quite fill up the pockets, so one star off for that. I bought 2, and they fit a little differently. One just barely covers my nips. All in all, they're pretty and comfy bras, offer decent support for small boobies, and are low in plastics.

The bra fits well. The material is very comfortable. But the reason I gave 3 stars is because after washing, the removable pad fold in a random shape inside the bra, it took a long time to smooth it out.

Wish I had bought this one instead of previous ones. So comfortable, will be buying another

Very comfortable and hardly feels like a have a bra on!

Super comfortable bra! Great fit for AA cup , no gapping. Comfortable band and straps do not slip off my shoulders.

This is such a comfortable style. I just wish the cup pads were sewn in to add ease in the wash.
