Chantelle is supposed to be one of those fancy French lingerie brands, and I know that the Rive Gauche is a staple for many bra-wearers, but this bra is a total fail for me.

For starters, the wires are way too wide for me. They’re also too long. These wrap around to my back and the fabric wrinkles on the sides. There’s at least 1 inch of extra space from the wires to where my breast tissue ends.

Next, the top of the cups are pretty closed, even though they’re made with stretchy mesh and elastic. This causes it to cut in on the tops of my breasts, which doesn’t quite cause “double boob” quadding, but it does cause the elastic to cut in and just look strange.

The bottoms of the cups are also not filled and have wrinkling/excess fabric. This leads me to believe that this is the wrong size for me. It’s at least 1 size too large, maybe even 2.

It’s a really pretty bra and the fabric feels nice, but it’s not a good fit for me.

This bra is not owned any more

• Interesting. The cups are just wide. I guess it works for some people!

  Sooo wide! I got this on a whim because I was like “well, if I keep hearing that the wires on my Polish bras are too narrow, maybe I need wider wires after all” … nope.

  I honestly think my EM Bibi Black is still my best fitting bra to date. Yeah, my side chub shows a little easier, but I get the lift and profile that I want. Everything on the sides gets brought to the front. I hate when bras (like this one) push everything out to the side and I get sad looking boobs.

  I had the same problem with this bra. So pretty but super not right for my shape. Wires are sooo wide, and the elastic on the cups cut into the soft tissue.
