Edit: The gore hurts a lot after long wear for me, so the too-wide gore was an issue after all. Alas.

Summary: particularly good for slightly FoT or even shapes, true to size, attractive design, comfortable material, won't show under a thin shirt.

I am a slightly FoT 30D/30DD with very close-set breasts and immediate projection. I almost always have issues with molded t-shirt bras being too shallow or closed on top. This is not the case with this Chantelle. The memory foam cups are a very soft texture, super-pliable, and along with being cut for a more open shape they do indeed also mold to ... the rest of my individual breast shape very well while keeping it rounded. There is no padding and the foam is remarkably thin, but there is no nipple show-through like with their spacer bras. It looks very smooth under a thin t-shirt, basically invisible.
The straps are sturdy, attractive, won't slip off my narrow shoulders.
The gore is too wide for me, but that's true of almost every bra that isn't a plunge or a Comexim. Anyone whose breasts don't practically meet in the center is probably not going to have this issue.
The band is true to size, but not as sturdy as I'd like. There is no mesh support behind the very flimsy and attractive lace so I fear it won't hold up to heavy use over time. The wing height is excellent.
Visually, I love the satin casing detail on the outside of the underwire and the pale blush color that almost matches my very pale skin (I'm too light for most "nude" bras and as a digression I hate any time a company uses that to describe a color as if everyone is the same skin tone even in the same ethnic category, so thank you for calling this "blush").
All in all, I would call this a win.
