When quality and comfort are in question this is the bra I judge all other brad against.
And not one even comes close. If I hadnt grown out if this one I would probably never ever buy another bra. It gives great, natural, upfrint and lifted shape without being too pointy, too round or in your face.
The fabric is by miles the best I have ever seen in an unpadded bra - the whole bra is made from sturdy, lined stretch lace and is very forgiving - this is how I managed to holdnon to it for so long.
It is supercofortable and it holds up well over the 2 ... years of excessive wear.
It's only fault is that the band stretches out with wear, if it wasn't for that this bra would probably last a decade or so.
I also think the black one is beautiful with it's subtle sexappeal https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
The lace is flat so it doesnt really show much trough shirts - only if the fabric is a bit see trough, other than that I wore this as a t-shirt bra, sexy bra, any occasion bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I highly reccomemd this bra to anyone who fits their range. Very forgiving on full on tops and close set, would work great on almost any shape!

I really like this bra. When I put it on, I think it will irritate my armpits because it feels a little high up, but it never does. This is one of those bras that I forget I'm wearing, even during physical activity like hiking and traveling.

The center gore does not lay flat on my chest, but they're also not laying on top of any boobage.

The cups are lined, so the fabric doesn't itch at all, and so far it has not stretched out.

I’ve had a few of these Chantelle Rive Gauche bras over the last several years in a few different sizes. The band is VERY stretchy in every size and every color. You will probably want to size down in the band and up in the cup. My measurements for this bra size are probably larger than the average because I’ve had this bra for a couple of years, but it was very stretchy when it was brand new.

If you have a narrow breast shape, this is a good option because it’s more narrow in the wire than the Chantelle Parisian Allure Lace Plunge Bra (2231). The gore is a little wider than what I need, but it’s not uncomfortable. This Rive Gauche bra is really pretty and creates a natural, round shape. You’re not going to get major lift, but you’ll be supported.

It’s a good everyday bra that will last a long time.

i can tell this is a well-constructed bra but it is not for me! after a couple wears the underwire has started poking my armpits terribly.

The band is VERY stretchy. My measurements for this bra are probably bigger than the average because I’ve had it for a couple of years, but the band was always stretchy. Definitely size down one band size.

Once you get the sizing right, this is a comfortable everyday bra, and it’s pretty. The gore is a little bit wider than what I need, but it’s not uncomfortable. The straps are fully adjustable so they feel more relaxed than styles where the front of the strap is firm. The cup is not firm but does give decent support and create a natural, rounded shape.

The cups are more narrow in this Rive Gauche bra than in the 75H - Chantelle » Parisian Allure Lace Plunge Bra (2231) so it’s a good choice if you have a more narrow breast shape and want something appropriate for daily wear.

Not projected enough for my FoB, narrow/short set. Tons of wrinkles at the top, and bottom. Very comfortable but not the right shape for me. Band is also VERY stretchy - comfortable but doesn't seem like it would be very supportive.

This bra is so comfortable. I have the black and am considering ordering it other available colors. I can wear this bra all day with no issues.

Fits beautifully. Created a very natural shape and is incredibly comfortable. Would love a little more lift, but this works. The black on noise color is very cute.

This one is a great fit in the cups. The wires come up a little high, but as far as holding everything in with no oozing, it's good. Sadly, the band is far too large and it doesn't come in a 30I. It's not the sassiest bra by any stretch, but a nice, well-made workhorse if you can find a fit.

The size is decent, but I can't stand the high gore. Very soft cups though. A great bra if it fits. I like how the straps are placed close together.
