I decided to try Chantelle on a whim. I found this bra for a great price on Ebay and took a chance. I wasn't sure how Chantelle sizing works so I gambled on a EU70G (tag also indicates a UK 32F).

On the loosest hooks, the 70/32 band feels a bit lose. It is still supportive as this size has 3 hooks. Strap placement is excellent - wide enough to stay invisible under most tops and no rubbing at the armpit.

Onto the cups! The gore on this bra is very tall as are the cups in general (this bra is definitely full coverage!). The wires feel very firm and run high under the arm - there is no extra wire channel on this bra. If you have wide-set breasts or extra underarm tissue, this bra should do an excellent job of keeping that tissue in the cups.

The cups on this bra also appear to run a bit shallow. I have empty space along the bottom portion of the cups (orange in a glass effect) and there is also wrinkling from the lack of projection at the wire. The lack of projection + slightly looser band causes the bra to slip out of my IMF even without activity.

While this bra isn't suited for me, I love the construction and look of the bra. I've ordered the C Chic plunge as I think that bra would be better for me - the Rive Gauche is just too much bra for someone with my smaller bust size.

This bra is not owned any more
