This is a beautiful bra. While high quality, the fabric was not as soft as I am used to for Chantelle's but may soften with washing and wear. The straps were pretty far apart, even for my wider shoulders and I was not sold on the accordion shape of them, at least not for all day wear. I prefer a flatter strap for that.
The wires and gore were perfect for me, perfectly encapsulated my breasts. The cups are a bit shallower, but this worked great with my breast shape (little to no projection due to implant reconstruction). Normally I do not like plunges as I prefer feeling a ... little more secure, but I felt quite secure in this bra.
I did find the band really stretchy, not unusual for Chantelle's. I think a 30 might be perfect for me. Perhaps I will try it and that might also solve the straps being too wide issue, as otherwise the bra felt perfect.
I did not like the little "c" charm, a little too hokey for me, but the rest of the bra details were lovely, this is a very pretty, delicate in appearance but very well made, bra.
