Mostly comfortable, fits well, nice quality. The underwire stabs in the armpit really bad. So much that I can feel it pressing into my arms too when I put my arms to my sides.

I LOVE this bra! I have it in black and in nude, and I always pick one of them if not in laundry, when switching to a clean bra. If I could be sure this model would be always available, I would need no other bras.

This is one of my new favorite bras. I think I've found my brand, because two of the models I currently own and LOVE are Chantelles. And also, they are the same size which means that the sizing inside the brand seems consistent which is not always the case. One of my new everyday go-to bras.

This bra is very comparable to the Natori Feathers Contour Plunge Bra (730023) with the tiniest bit more projection. It’s a very similar construction with the partial cup padding and mesh overlay to help conform to the body. I bought a 30D in both and found this one to be more comfortable and better for for my shape. The little bit of padding that it has is a little bit thicker (but not by much) than the Natori. Because of that, the Chantelle lifts a bit more, looks smoother and rounder under t-shirts, while the Natori gives a slightly more natural shape. It’s a very well constructed, high quality bra and fits true to size.

very comfortable and soft. Disappears under clothes

My shape is narrow, even, projected with average-to-short roots, close-set with lots of upper-center fullness and soft, saggy breast tissue.
This Chantelle bra feels kind of flimsy, with thin stretchy cups and back band. This makes it somewhat comfortable to wear, but it doesn't provide much support or shape. The underwires are too wide and cups feel too shallow, and the straps feel like they are about to slip off my shoulders. So, not a good bra for me, but might be a good fit for those with smaller or firmer breasts.

This Rive Gauche bra is not a good fit for me, the wires are too wide and the cups too shallow, and there is no room at the gore for centre fullness - the gore floats and points away from my chest. The wide underwires are rubbing under my arms and are uncomfortable. I'm disappointed at the poor fit for the price point of $120 CAD. Good thing I can return to amazon.

This is an extremely comfortable wired bra. The fabric is buttery soft and stretchy and the wires are not overly firm. Very different feel than Elomis or Sculptress. It moves with me and feels like a gentle hug on my boobs. It sacrifices some support and lift for comfort, but I will take it! It gives me decent support, much better than my current wireless bralettes. If I ever wanted more support, I'd need something with firmer fabric.

It is NOT a molded bra, despite the name. It has a 3-part seamed cup underneath (1 diagonal seam, 1 vertical) with a layer of lace over the top which covers ... up the seams. It feels like a molded bra because it is so soft and stretchy, and the seams don't show through clothing because of the lace overlay. The lace is pretty flat and stretchy, so I only see a bit of texture under a fitted sweater. Nipples show through this a bit. It's basically a soft, lined fabric cup.

Because the bra is so stretchy, it ran on the bigger side for me. I'm normally a 40E/F UK and 40s are pretty snug on me (in Elomi for example). This 40 is a bit big on me and I have to hook it on the 2nd loosest hook from new, which isn't ideal. It's so stretchy I could even easily hook it on the tightest hook from new but not wear it comfortably like that. I tried a sister size, 38G, but it dug in a bit under the wires on the loosest hook so I'm staying with this even though it might not last me too long.

This is the equivalent of a 40E UK (Chantelle uses French sizing which is similar to US) and I have a little emptiness in the top of the cups, especially on my smaller breast. So the cup size is also on the larger side for me, but it is acceptable. The gore floats a tiny bit at the top because I am close-set, but it feels comfortable.

Overall, I think this might be the first wired bra I can wear after medical/pain issues and surgery so I'm excited! I haven't worn it for a full day yet so we'll see how it goes.

UPDATE: After wearing it on and off for about a week I am feeling less enthusiastic about this bra. The band rides up over time and when I move certain ways, and sometimes the top of one wire digs into the area under my armpit. I have to frequently adjust it for it to remain comfortable.

This is my most comfortable bra. I wish it had some side support, but the fit is better than any other I own. I sometimes get bothered by the high gore, especially after wearing some other, ill-fitting bra that really bother my breast tissue at the gore.

I just got this bra after owning a few Rive Gauche in the last few years. This is my first t-shirt bra. I may should have gotten a 36 band, but I'm hoping to lose a little weight. I believe I'm pretty happy with the fit!

Updated on Jul 05, 2022 Flag this

**EDIT** Yeah, I definitely need to go up a size. After a harrowing bra adventure I found out my size is actually 34E-34FF (UK). The gore IS quite high on this bra and I do think it’s the wrong style for me, but I can’t give it a fair review when the cups were stretched to their limits. No wonder it didn’t look good. Smh.

I don’t think I need to go up a size, I just don’t think the gore height is right for me. I have a short, narrowish torso with narrow shoulders and slightly splayed, but close together breasts— this bra doesn’t work any way ... you look at it. The straps cut into my arm pits, the bra sits too low and squishes my torso chub down into a bulge underneath it. The cut and lack of side support/too wide cups just isn’t right for me as it creates a long chested appearance (breasts sit too low, still slightly splayed with zero cleavage). I will say that the bra itself is really comfortable and someone else with an entirely different body shape would probably LOVE it. The straps are nicely padded and the band is very comfortable. It seems like a great bra for everyday wear as it’s comfy and breathable.

This is a beautiful bra. The gore doesn’t quite sit flush, I do think I would probably want to see if a 30f or 32e would fit better. Either way it still fits comfortable even if not absolutely perfectly. Could be due to the age of the bra. Bought it used a few years back.

This bra feels great and looks great. The size I got was a little too big but it still feels amazing for being a size bigger.

This is such a pretty bra I would stick with this size if the cups weren't floating a little off my nipple the rest of it fits very well for being a bigger size

I really like the look of this bra. It is a little too loose in the band for me, but I loved the natural shape it gave under clothing. Without clothing, however, my boobs look a little squashed, lol.
I think this bra would be a better fit for someone who is shallower and needs less immediate projection.

Band on this bra stretches out really quickly. Even on the tightest hook, it rides up in the back.

For reference, I am petite (5'1") with wide-set tissue that is slightly tuberous and tends to gravitate into my armpits.

I had been on the quest for a push-up bra that fits that didn't have lots of lace or fancy embellishments so that it fits well under jersey fabric dresses and form-fitting t-shirts. This bra is delightful! It not only serves its purpose so that I don't have weird outlines showing through my clothes, but it is so comfortable. It fits well and gives me the push-up, rounded shape that I prefer. No "headlights" showing through which is always a plus.

I will definitely be buying a few of these so that I always have a clean one in case I postpone laundry for longer than I ought to https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

A very interesting bra, and unlike most spacers, this is better thought of as an unlined bra. Although this is called a spacer, the spacer fabric has no "space" in it and has no squish. In other words, the cups have no foam. It's more of a stretchy, breathable microfiber fabric. The cups have a single vertical taped seam, and the cup edges are taped with no stitching. This makes for a very smooth and comfortable fit with minimal bulk, but there is also no padding whatsoever to smooth out the silhouette, so you can expect to see a very natural shape with very little softening of nipple ... visibility. Wires are wide with a shallower curve, leaning towards "swoosh" as opposed to "U". The cups are a bit far apart, and I'm getting some sensation at the gore, especially in racerback mode. The edges where the channels meet the cups can be a bit pointy. Straps are soft with a section of restricted stretch at the front, and they're convertible to racerback with a J-hook. (I'd prefer criss-cross for less extra hardware.) I felt the band was a reasonable firmness for a 30. I like the hook tape quite a bit; it's very plush and has 4 sets of hooks. Aesthetics are minimal, but the band has a slight glimmer to it and a subtle metallic logo that add some subtle interest. The nude color is too pink to work as a nude for me, but may work for those with rosier undertones. If the cups were closer, the gore lower, or the channels less sharp and inwardly curved, this would have been an excellent fit since I like the wire shape.
