I thrifted this bra for a very low price. Sadly it does not fit me. I am a 34G In UK Brands. This bra is listed here as an 80G and index size 36:7 which is the same as an UK 36F. I remember that I read some reviews years ago that the rive gauche runs large. I can say no, it does not. It is like an UK 36F would fit me, too small cups / too large band.
The cups are in no way big enough and way too narrow. The wires are very stiff and do not bend, therefore cannot wrap around all ... my breast tissue on the sides.The band is very very large! I don't have another Chantelle to compare but in most European brands I can wear an 80 band size. This felt more like a 90. I even double checked the label because I thought I got a wrong size. I cannot even wear this at the tightest setting. Also it does nothing for my boobs, no lift no support.
The straps are interesting. They are probably the longest shoulder straps I ever seen. I am moderately tall with long torso, so I often to make my straps longer... with this bra, there was no need. This would fit someone that very tall and needs very long straps.
The fabric is amazing, soft and felt high quality. I think this would be a good one if it matches your shape and fit needs. I think I am sized out of this brand, because I need a smaller band and bigger cups but the range stops at H-cup.
