This bra is beautiful and makes me feel sexy. The cups are a little on the small side for me and with my center fullness, I tend to get some quad boob throughout the day. If I ordered again, I think I would size up in the cup. The band feels perfect. It has held up pretty well over the years, minus the lace being cut in some places.

The band seems to be the right size. However, I believe because the cup size is one size too small, my breasts are not supported well enough, which weighs the band down in the front, so it doesn't stay put. The bra itself is gorgeous looking. I can't wear many of my open neckline shirts because either (a) the sides/ tops of the cups will show, or (b) the tall center gore will show. The gore also digs painfully into my sternum during extended wear.

Size: 32GG (Index 32: 10)
Pros:
-Good projection
-Good coverage for when coverage is wanted
-Good support
-Keeps breasts contained
Cons
-Wires come up too high for me, and stab me in the sides (I'm short-5'2" tall, and have a semi-short torso)
-Wires are too wide for my narrow shape.
-Gore is too high, it only measures about 3" but that's because the bottom of the gore is above the bottom of the cups.
-Gore is too wide for my close set breasts.
-Band shifts down throughout the day (but I haven't really found a bra that doesn't do this)

34: 7 Index Size (2 cup sizes smaller than my usual cup size)
(usual index size= 34: 9)
Pros:
-Fairly Comfortable
-Good everyday/ work bra--hides cleavage, minimizes bust size
-Cup Seams offer decent support--2 vertical seams, 1 diagonal
-Underwire does not stab me
- Band has 4 columns of hooks --theoretically allows for a nearly 2 inch adjustment
Cons:
-Underwires are NOISY/ Creaky. Even when not wearing the bra, the contact of the wires with the wire channel fabric results in a creaky/ squeaky sound(this has been my experience in all my Chantelle bras.)
-Underwires slightly wide.
- Cups are 1 size smaller than my usual size, so they cut into the tissue at the top
- Straps are wider than I would like, leading to minor discomfort when moving arms horizontally across my body (cups/ straps cut into sides of arm)
-Band: I can already hook it on the tightest wire, but that might be in part due to my measurements and squishyness (my snug underbust measurement is 33")
