I ordered this bra as an exchange for the Chantelle Rive Gauche 3-part Cup. The gore on that bra was too high and separate for me, so I tried this plunge. I really want to like it, but I think that it's just not right for my shape. (Thank you, Bratabase, for teaching me more about what that means!)

If you like a firmer band, this bra has one. Bratabase overall has it listed as "stretchy," but that hasn't been my experience. To me, it feels quite firm and a bit small, so consider sizing up. The straps are tricky to adjust because they are ridge-y, but once they're adjusted... they're adjusted. They're also angled in the back so they stay on the shoulders nicely. I *love* the straps, so it's too bad that nothing else about this bra quite works.

The cups are thin, lined, and nicely made, although less soft than the Rive Gauche lace. They feel more synthetic, if that makes sense. The wires (as usual) feel just a bit too low and narrow for me, and the cups look orange-in-a-glass wrinkled at the bottom unless I adjust over and over again. No problems with center spillage or the top edges of the cups, although I rarely have those concerns. The short gore tacks and has a pretty little charm, and while I'd say it's a plain bra overall, the scalloped lace and charm are nice details.

(I'll probably list this bra, so if you adore it and and are looking for a very lightly worn one, contact me and I'll be happy to swap.)

This bra is not owned any more
