This fit well, with the caveat that the center gore, which is only 1.75" and thus a decent height for my close set boobs, is too separate. I would, if I were keeping this, remove the center gore decoration, sew the underwires so they overlapped, and sew the decoration back on.

The fit is good, though the sheerer upper mesh part is a little loose. This reminds me of how my red Cleo Marcie fit before I broke it in and it molded to my body. The fabric does cover a fair amount of my chest, at least for my taste.

The underwires go pretty far back on the sides and are pretty high on the sides. This is not a complaint. Besides needing a low center gore because of my close set breasts, I also need fairly wide and high underwires under the arms because I have a lot of side tissue. My naked shape from the front is very round.

I tried this in 32E in Blue, as the paper tag describes the color. It's a dark blue without veering into navy blue territory. The band could be tighter. I don't need it to be because the underwires are high enough and wide enough. When I deal with, say, Ewa Michalak's underwires, I get UK 30 bands so I have enough band tightness to hold my tissue toward the front and for it to stay contained within those wires.

I think I can size down in the cup and get less coverage while maintaining a necessary amount of underwire width and height under the arms. I've ordered this in a UK 30F in a color called Blue Klein that looks very purplish blue on the Nordstrom website. The Bare Necessities site's photo of Blue Klein looks far less pure and vibrant. We'll see.

I'm glad to know of another plunge that has a gore just about low enough for me and whose wires are still wide and high enough for me. If the 30F from Nordstrom works, I'll probably be buying more Chantelle C Chic Sexy Plunges (3641).
