A good, comfortable everyday bra. Despite the plunge, it feels more like full coverage in my size and shows under everything even remotely low cut. A common problem, I know, but worth warning for.

The lace is comfortable and durable. It doesn't show up except under the tightest and clingiest of clothes. Without clothes I think it's very cute and attractive, but it does cover a lot and separates the breasts. So maybe not the sexiest choice, if that's what you're going for.

Gore was stabby on me. The fabric was also sometimes itchy?

Even though I made sure to be conscientious of the French sizing, and converted accordingly, this bra still ended up being too small in the cups. When I scoop/swoop, the hem/lace at the top cuts into my breast tissue a bit, making it pretty uncomfortable. I don't feel as if there is enough coverage or enough depth to the cups. The underwires are also too low for me, and they jab my sternum. I suppose I am too projected/round for this bra's shape. It's such a nice looking bra when it's not on.

This bra was excellent when I first purchased it, in fact I loved it so much that I bought four. The red and the teal have held up very well, however the beige both stretched out very quickly and had smaller cups to begin with(I ordered them online). One had a band that was 3/4" longer to begin with. The beige bras have always tended to give me a bit of quad boob, the red and teal do not. Additionally, after the beige bras stretched out some the horizontal seams on the cups have begun to dig in (because the seams did not stretch) and they now create ... an additional line across the upper breast, giving a sextuple boob effect. The beige bras also dig into my shoulders quite painfully, I had to adjust the sliders over the decorative strap piece in order to get them to the correct length for me on all of the bras, however the beige are the only ones which are uncomfortable on my shoulders. I have only had the beige ones for three months and I rotate bras so that no one bra gets worn more than two times a week. I do not think that they should have stretched out so quickly, especially since the red and teal ones which I have had for over a year are still perfect.
The red and teal I rate as excellent quality, comfort and appearance, the beige as wearable quality, meh comfort and excellent appearance.

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.

Straps are just a little too far apart for my narrow shoulders. Otherwise it was a pretty good fit.

I've owned this bra for about a year, and probably worn it 2/3 of the time since I got it. It looks great on and is very comfortable. From the measurements it appears to have stretched out 2 inches in the past year. I'd definitely buy this bra again.

The band of this bra is about one size bigger than Natoti feather contour plunge.

First things first: this bra doesn't fit. The band is fine, but it's definitely a cup size too small, which is a given, as I am an F cup wearing an E cup.

Aside from that, it's actually a very comfortable wear. I can wear it for about 8 hours at a stretch, currently. the part that annoys me the most is the wires, and I suspect it would irritate me even if I was wearing my proper size. They're too short on the our edge, so they keep stabbing my breast tissue.

The Blue Klein color on Chantelle's C Chic Sexy Plunge (3641) bra is transcendentally blue. It's as blue as something can get, pure and deep and rich. I almost kept the bra for the color alone. I need more extremely low plunge, unlined, sheer, lightweight bras for summer, and this would've been useful in the coming hot weather.

I'm still confused by Chantelle's sizing, so I'm not sure if the 65G Chantelle is really equivalent to a UK 30F. The fit is good, and the center gore is quite low, which I need. However, the cup coverage was considerable. I imagine this is a plunge for soft tissue. Despite ... being low at the front, it has so much cup to contain soft tissue, I believe spillage would be minimized.

For my firm tissue, however, this coverage just makes it look like I'm wearing a lot of bra, despite the low center gore. [Hear a lament for the Blue Klein color here.]

Chantelle is a somewhat high end but not at the level of Prima Donna or Rigby & Peller in terms of pricing. I can really feel the difference in the materials. The fabric of the cups is scratchy, kind of like Cleo Marcie, which I had to break in. Compared to the Prima Donna Madison Plunges, which I have in three colors and were extremely soft right off the bat, the Chantelle C Chic Sexy Plunge feels tolerable but like I need to wash and wear it a few times. I never get the feeling I'm breaking in a Prima Donna.

But that blue! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
