Comfortable, attractive bra with more of a swoosh-shaped underwire. I needed to size up for depth -- this is shallow, but not as shallow as Natori Feathers. Pay attention to fit near the bottom of the wires, since the lace may make it hard to see creasing. Wide wires comfortably contain tissue with a natural look and position, but this isn't a bra that's meant to bring things front and center. Band in 30D and 30E(DD) is mesh with only 1 hook. I think a wider band would have been more comfortable, but the band is reasonably firm, except that I had to start on the 2nd hook ...in. Straps are fully adjustable and not too far apart, but they do still fall down on me sometimes. Stretch lace conforms nicely to tall roots. Not quite a T-shirt bra, but easy to wear under most tops. Good as a higher-end everyday bra.
Watch out for manufacturing defects, though: I've owned one copy in Nude Blush on which the channels were sewn overlapping at the gore such that they created a stiff, scratchy bump -- had to exchange. Inspect when buying to make sure the sewing is flat and smooth at the gore. Finish is otherwise good on "good" copies.
Similar cuts, but more shallow: Parisian Allure (looser, plusher band), Passionata Manhattan Plunge (stiffer lace) Read more 115 more words
Stunningly beautiful bra! Love the embroidery and the fit, a 75E is perfect for me since I'm full on bottom with short roots so need shorter cups. If I had any more breast tissue above the nipple, I would have sized up to a 75F, since the 75E cuts in immediately above the nipple. The embroidery is pretty thick so shows through clothing but is a beautiful bra to wear at home and just for fun. I have severe difficulty finding bras that are short enough in the cups, have wide wires, and sufficient projection, and this checks all the boxes.
My fit needs: projected, immediately projected, slightly narrow, fob with tall roots (functionally even), very close set, very center full.
See chantelle review in 65F for a review in my actual size. Weirdly the tag says 30E for the 65E but it says 30DDD for 65F which is why I got it. Unfortunately the 65E is too small.
My fit needs: projected, immediately projected, slightly narrow, fob with tall roots (functionally even), very close set, very center full.
I love this sports bra! Definitely need to use the j hook to feel more secure. It's good for low-medium impact sports. Comes with a tight band, since I've had it for 5 years and I'm still only on the 2nd hook. Quite wide like all other sports bras but the wires do match my imf and at the very least it gives a projected and nice shape unlike the Freya sports bra
This was for my mom's attempts to find a bra that fits and it's very different from my size so I can only comment on the material & construction.
Band: runs TTS & its elastic is firm. Mesh.
Cups: Bottom and side panels are opaque mesh, top is sheer stretch lace. The elastic along the top edge of the cups is also firm enough that it would be IMO best suited for a FOB shape.
Straps: Fully adjustable and slightly thinner than most I've encountered.
Overall: The fabric and seams are nice and smooth, not scratchy. It seems to be a very cool and breathable bra.
Although the fabric is soft, the trim detail on the outside edge of the cup irritates my arm. Also, the wire is wide enough to fit my wide root, but it does not sit flat against my skin. So the end of the wire rubs my arm.
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 is the first time trying Chantelle for me. The Revele-Moi bra feels pretty comfortable, despite the shape not being great for me - the wires are too wide and the cups too shallow. However with the stretchy construction it's comfortable and it somewhat squishes my soft boobs into place like a minimizer, and doesn't provide much uplift or shape. The lighweight mesh would make it a good summer bra. A big negative in the fit for me is the wires at the centre gore point away from my chest.
The fitting associate pulled a 70G for me, but my size is closer to 75F/G, so the band was a little tight at first and I don't quite fill out the cups. (I am likely between cup sizes)
As people have mentioned with other Chantelle bras, the band/straps stretch out quickly. (Need adjustment after about two weeks) This was fine for me because I was wearing the wrong size to start with, but if you started with the correct size, I'd expect this bra to last you maybe two months instead of the generally recommended six...... Since the straps are partially lace, they ...can't be adjusted as much as straps that are just plain fabric, so this may be something to keep in mind as well. All of this would be one thing if the bra was cheap, but I would personally consider this bra to be a little on the pricey end. (Manufacturer is selling it for $88 full price)
I don't particularly like the lace design on this bra, but the gore is the most comfortable one I've ever worn and it works well enough as a basic tan bra. Read more 90 more words
Extremely comfortable Chantelle bra. A bit shallow for me, but sits correctly in my IMF. The band is so plush, stretchy and comfortably. It’s a little too full coverage. Not very sexy. But functional.
Just overall too small, I bought this before I realized my bra size had changed significantly. Extremely cute and cups are very soft. Band seems pretty stretchy.
This is an expensive bra but the quality of material and structure makes it worthwhile. The gore is a little close set for me and it does not have any side support but the seamed cup provides a nice shape and structure.
This bra was too big on me (it runs TTS I just did a mistake while figuring out sizing) so I cant quite review it the way I want it to. All I can say is that the quality of it is really great, its comfortable too. The wires seem to be on the narrow side I think.
At first I thought this was a great fit for me! With flared bottom ribs my sternum seems to "dip" inwards meaning many (pretty much all) bra gores don't tack. This one, is so close but still not flat. I can still poke one finger between. It sits very, very low. I liked that the lining is barely there, so I feel my modesty is somewhat protected but I still get a lot of flex. My issues though... The lace overlay is pretty separate from the lining, and i found myself tugging at it throughout the day. The gore feels itchy by the end of the day. For ...my 30F bust there is not enough support in this bra for all day wear. I will be saving it for nights out when I want to wear fashion or lower cut tops. The wires are nice and wide for me, but similar to anothe review, I'm guessing because the lining isn't adhered to the lace overlay that this causes it to fold under the breast. By the end of the day I want to rip it off for a more supportive bra. What I do like, however, is the high apex so there's no rough join between strap and cup. Read more 101 more words
