*Purchased for my pregnancy boobs.

I picked this gem up at Nordstrom Rack for a very good discount. The three part cup consists of a flexible fabric with a soft comfortable lining. Great for my size changing breasts. This is a full coverage bra perfect for containing everything. I feel lifted and separated. I do find the wires a bit long under my arm pits, but nothing I can't handle. The straps are well placed and the strap thickness just right to carry the load. Straps are fully adjustable. I feel this gives a natural-rounded shape on me. I feel snug and secure in the cups which helps with the soreness I'm currently experiencing. Overall a solid buy and the quality is very nice. I believe this is in the color Cookie. It is a rich chocolate brown with a light brown lining.

This is a pretty bra, and it feels fine when I first put it on. But it doesn't really fit.

The band is too loose. I can stick my whole hand back there. I definitely want to wear this (new) on at least the second set of hooks.

The cups are filled fine, but when I look closely, I see that the underwire isn't sitting quite where it should, and a bit of boobage doesn't quite peek out, but the wire makes everything odd underneath or it rides up, or something.

I've worn this maybe 4 times and plan to sell or trade it, probably in The Bust Line forum in Ravelry. Or maybe here.

I found this bra extremely discounted at a thrift store and was actually very pleasantly surprised by the fit. The underwires are the perfect narrow width, and there is finally enough depth at the bottom of the cup that the wires stay in my IMF effortlessly. It's such a glorious feeling! The moderately stretchy lace material is quite comfortable, and I think well accommodates upper fullness as well as helps to reduce gaping for more bottom-heavy shapes. It is a decidedly full-coverage style, but one that I think is classic and feminine in appearance rather than matronly, as well as workable with a decent amount of necklines; for ... that reason, it is my go-to option for days when I want minimized cleavage and a more "secure" feeling.

This bra very effectively separates and lifts the breasts, but the shape ranges from slightly pointy to a natural-looking teardrop depending on how tightly the straps are tightened. I do find that once I adjust the straps enough to achieve the latter shape, the band tends to ride up a little... I really wish this bra was available in a 30 band instead... but it doesn't render it totally unwearable. Finally, the wires come up moderately high under the armpits as well as into the high center gore, which can sometimes be slightly irritating or just something I'm conscious of while wearing this bra as opposed to others with shorter wires.

When I first put it on, I thought it was waay too large in the cups. But, after scooping and swooping and tightening straps, I realize this is almost a perfect fit for my narrow, projected bottomheavy self. The wires are almost narrow enough, the cups are perfect, and all my underarm flab is neatly encased. It's a lot of bra though, the lace comes up so high on my chest I can only wear this under crew neck or turtleneck shirts. Still, very pretty lace and very comfy (if only the wires weren't so long/high up my sternum/armpits)

I love this bra! It fits well, it's very comfortable and even a little bit fancy. But unfortunately I think I've sized out of it. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This is the second bra in this style I picked up for my pregnancy boobs. The three part cup consists of a flexible fabric with a soft comfortable lining. Great for my size changing breasts. This is a full coverage bra perfect for containing everything. I feel lifted and separated. I do find the wires a bit long under my arm pits, but nothing I can't handle. The straps are well placed and the strap thickness just right to carry the load. Straps are fully adjustable. I feel this gives a natural-rounded shape on me. I feel snug and secure in the cups which helps with the soreness I'm currently experiencing. Overall a solid buy and the quality is very nice. I believe this is in the color Cappuccino. It is a light ivory color with a tan lining.

Sadly, this bra was not a winner for me. I loved the elastic upper pole fit, enjoyed the band support with 3 hooks, and the overall comfort. Even the straps were top notch. Unfortunately I could not get past the center gore height which is just too tall for me to be comfortable. If it weren't for that ONE shortcoming this bra would be my everyday go-to. A digging, bruising center gore is unfortunately a dealbreaker for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I decided to try Chantelle on a whim. I found this bra for a great price on Ebay and took a chance. I wasn't sure how Chantelle sizing works so I gambled on a EU70G (tag also indicates a UK 32F).

On the loosest hooks, the 70/32 band feels a bit lose. It is still supportive as this size has 3 hooks. Strap placement is excellent - wide enough to stay invisible under most tops and no rubbing at the armpit.

Onto the cups! The gore on this bra is very tall as are the cups in general (this bra is definitely full coverage!). The wires feel very ... firm and run high under the arm - there is no extra wire channel on this bra. If you have wide-set breasts or extra underarm tissue, this bra should do an excellent job of keeping that tissue in the cups.

The cups on this bra also appear to run a bit shallow. I have empty space along the bottom portion of the cups (orange in a glass effect) and there is also wrinkling from the lack of projection at the wire. The lack of projection + slightly looser band causes the bra to slip out of my IMF even without activity.

While this bra isn't suited for me, I love the construction and look of the bra. I've ordered the C Chic plunge as I think that bra would be better for me - the Rive Gauche is just too much bra for someone with my smaller bust size.

Great support and a nice, rounded shape. Excellent for east-west breasts and if you have lots of tissue under your arms. Higher gore than I would like- doesn't tack well for me.
