This bra was the first bra I was fitted into, and it is a little big for me. I had bra shock when I went to the store, going from La Senza's 36D-DD to 32E. Since these purchases I've realized that I'm actually a 30F but with the exception of my having to use the bra on the second hook, these bras are my absolute favourite!

They are on the pricier end of the spectrum- I bought the black one for $120CDN in a brick and mortar store, but found the nude one on eBay for $30USD. I really love this bra, and would recommend it to anyone! It fits beautifully, makes me look amazing, and I feel so awesome with it on.

The invisble lace along the cup edges & the little dots along the double straps are all clever additions to an everyday t-shirt bra! I so badly wanted it to work, & I even eyed it for years, but the fit is underwhelming.

The band is too loose & the cups lack the immediate/center projection that I need to feel properly supported. The quality of the bra seems sturdy, but Chantelle's inconsistent sizing is driving me nuts & I think I'm going to steer clear from this brand for a while. I have the c-paris in the same size, and the cups are much deeper and wider than the rive gauche!

This is a really great t-shirt bra with just the right amount of fun and flirty details that it doesn't feel boring. I accidentally bought one cup size too small while I was figuring out my correct bra size, but liked it enough that I kept it. Ideally, a 32DDDD would've probably fit better with less quading, but overall a good fit. In padded styles I seem to wear closer to my true size whereas many unpadded I have to go down a cup in Chantelle. This bra is very comfy on and looks like it will wear well.

these are pretty for t-shirt bras - smooth and not bulky - but they are just too loose in the band for me. The brand seems to be consistent between the two colors i have - a nude and a butter cream yellow

I love the way this bra fits and holds everything in comfortably. The lace doesn't itch or bother at all, which I find can happen with some bras. The center gore is a little too wide and stiff for my natural cleavage, which makes it rub up a bit, but I'm hoping this will loosen up the more I wear the bra. All in all, definitely a recommend!

I absolutely love this bra, but it doesn't fit well anymore. It's very pretty and very comfortable... if it fits.

Pros:
So cute! And not tacky or childish feeling!
Well made and very comfortable when it fits
Good shape
Invisible underneath clothing
Great for shallow
Available for cheapo on ebay
Thin straps and only two hooks

Cons:
Straps are NOT fully adjustable.
Only goes up to DDD/F
Straps are rather wide set

Happy bra, happy bra ^.^ I love it. Band is a bit stretched out from wear, but it fits so lovely otherwise that it doesn't even matter. I could wear this thing constantly.

This bra is so cute; I really wanted to love it. The fabric in the cups is soft and the lace band is soft too. Unfortunately, this bra has never fit me right. When I was a little heavier, the cups were too small and I spilled out the top and sides. And now that I've lost a little weight, the band (which is really stretchy, so never really that firm to begin with) is useless. The bra slides down my ribcage as I go throughout my day, so the wires are always either floating above my breasts or sitting an inch below my boobs.

I would recommend this to someone based on it's appearance, but with a warning that the band isn't that snug and the bra probably won't stay in place if you are moving around a lot.
