My primary bra when I wore this size. So comfortable, great under anything https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I have the same problem with this bra that I have in most bras, which is not enough depth in the bottom of the cup (but for $11 at the Rack, I was able to ignore that flaw). Aside from that, this bra is very comfortable and supportive. It looks excellent under a t-shirt.

The band on this bra holds firmly and hits its maximum length quickly, so there's not a ton of leeway with that measurement.

I usually love plunge shapes, but I'm not sure this one is built correctly for my body. I don't have a lot of top or center fullness (cleavage is not a thing that happens on me ever) and though the top edge feels like the right size when pulled into place, it rapidly slides down and wrinkles the upper cup. (Now that I think about it, though, it could actually be that the elastic there is a bit too tight) Tightening the straps does help a fair amount, and the pleated ribbon on the strap prevents it from budging once it's been adjusted.

The shape is nicely round, but in a natural and relaxed kind of way without much lift. Despite the sexy styling of this bra, the impact when fully clothed is fairly modest.

This bra is very sexy! Beautiful lace overall and very nice details, with a rhinestone C above the center keyhole. Creates an uplifted, even cantilevered shape. The straps aren't fully adjustable because of the pleated detail at the front. The band is a little too stretchy for my taste as the fabric is very thin.

Bought this bra at {intimacy} in Boston, which was a hell of a pilgrimage from my home in NE Wisconsin (to be fair, it was a side trip to a greater mission), but given that I'd only managed to find one bra of approximately the right fit in my home area (and it was really ugly), I'd say it was worth it to finally have a bra that fit well and didn't make my eyes bleed. It makes my boobs look great, even in tshirts, and the bow at the gore and I have come to an uneasy understanding.
But anyway - the underwire doesn't bother me until ... I've been wearing it for many hours, at which point it starts to dig in a little bit. There's this odd little quirk wherein the fabric surrounding the wire itself twists outward on the bottom of the right cup (as I'm wearing it), which is weird but not exactly uncomfortable. The band stretched to the point where I had to switch to the middle set of hooks pretty fast, which annoys me because I've found I like wearing a band that hugs my ribcage.
Overall, I've been very happy with this one, between the band staying where it should and my boobs not falling out when I lean forward, but so far I've got pretty low standards.

Edit, July 2013:
So, when I wrote this back in January, I was speaking mostly of how it had fit when I bought it in August and wasn't ready to admit that my boobs had managed to get even bigger in the intervening time. So yeah, it doesn't technically fit anymore, but I can sort of wiggle things around so the quadboob, at least, is minimal (of course, this pulls the gore away from my sternum...), and it's still super-comfortable. In all, I still quite like this bra, and I've been hunting around to find the same model in a bigger size for not as much money as I spent on this one (there was definitely sticker shock).

Update 2013:
The band is far too large, the cups are stretched to the brim and I spill out on my larger side, the gore is too wide and too high, the underwire is too long and jabs the armpits, I have the straps tightened all the way, and could afford to have them even tighter, in order for it to give shape and support.

The pro though is that the wire width (excluding the wideness of the gore) is pretty much exactly what I want and need, just a smidgen wider because it pretty much lands on the exact spot my root ends. It just needs a smaller ... band, bigger cups (and Chantelle 3 parts tend to be pretty forgiving in the cups anyway), and not so long wires.

----

This is a really beautiful bra. I'm really sad though that the underwire seems to be too high. I can ignore it for the most part, but it does poke my sternum and, at times, it pokes my arms. I'm also concerned the band might be too big for me. I don't really know for sure, as this is the first bra I've ever worn that was anywhere near the proper size, but I can stretch it out a bit on the loosest and middle set of hooks. I haven't tried the furthest yet. It does seem to be laying evenly across my back though! A huge different from my 36/38 bands. Also, my right breast is at least a cup smaller, so the cup (obviously) doesn't fit all that well without somewhere in there to even it out. (in my case, socks)

I tried this bra on but but it did not fit me. It was too big in the cups and the band. But a very nice and well -constructed bra like everything I've seen from Chantelle.

The cups fit really great. (Only a bit of wrinkles in the top and the elastics at the edge cut in just a little, if we're being picky.) The band however was too big. I wish I could find the sister size.

The fabric was soft and sturdy, but the wires seemed somewhat weak.

Perfect fit except for the center gore. I have to adjust it every so often so I don't get red marks between my boobs.

I loved this bra when I first bought it. It was comfortable, it didn't show through shirts. It feels like quality. After a year of it being my only non-sports bra (I lost two others to the Great Dog Chew of 2012), it has seen the end. I've had to wash it more often, so it's started losing its shape. It's uncomfortable (as in my back starts to hurt) after a few hours, so I can't wear it to work. I pull it down to make my back feel better, but that doesn't help. I hope once I find some new college student budget friendly bras, I can retire this one.

Full coverage with nice plunge separation.

Nice smooth fit. Would work well with a scoopneck t-shirt to give just a little hint of cleavage. Chantelle bras just seem to work for me.

Oh my god, the gore on this bra is EVIL. It feels good for the first few hours, but gradually gets more uncomfortable. I was able to mostly fix this by bending the gore, but there's a part of me that just plain objects to having to...

Gives good lifting support, with a soft round shape. Cups sit close together, would not recommend for wide set breasts. Despite the lace designs, it sits well under t-shirts.

Beautiful Bra, fits well, but it doesn#t look good under a t-shirt so I haven't worn it for extended periods.

Was absurdly tight when I bought it but it stretched out quite a bit and is now very comfortable.

Underwires poked boobs at gore for a long time and I had to keep sliding the underwire back. It's good now though even with the wires at the centre.

I had a major problem with straps sliding off shoulders so the racer back is really great.

I never wore this bra. I intended to get the stays taken out, but never did. Fits the same as the Cachmiere. Very comfortable.

I loved this bra until I lost weight. Overall, its just too big now.

I did have the stays taken out of the sides because they folded up and poked into my sides. The bra is absolutely fine without them. Far more comfortable.
