I got this bra because it was recommended by my Nordstrom fitter and I was desperate for a convertable bra.
Pros: It is comfortable and smooth. It is perfect under halter style tops because of the straps changeability. Would make a great every day bra. Can be used with most shirt styles.
Cons: There is a tiny bit of wrinkling at the bottom of the cups right above the wire. I guess I'm not filling out the bottom even though I am bottom heavy. I also do not like the way the top encases my breast. I like more of a push up, demi style bra where I can see more of the girls. No extra oomph, but gives a nice shape under shirts. It doesn't go strapless.

The shape and fit of this bra are perfect, however there are a couple of flaws that will keep me from repurchasing this bra in the future. This bra is very cute and soft, but the band not stretchy enough. I have it on the tightest hook brand new and while it doesn't move around it still feels too loose. It won't last very long. If this bra came in a 28 band size it would be brilliant! The straps are also not fully adjustable. I can adjust it easily to my size, but the double strap detail on the front part is slippery and rub/tangle against each ... other. Annoying more than anything; doesn't really effect fit. The last issue is that the underwire is too flexible. I can feel it pulling wider when I bend over, etc. Which is why the band probably feels too lose. If the underwires were firmer, it would fit more like a 30 band. I will wear this bra until it becomes too lose because it looks nice under T-shirts and I have yet to purchase a nude T-shirt/molded cup bra that fits better than this.

Decent fit, though it could probably stand to be a little tighter in the band.

This push up bra is very pretty, it has two part satin cups with lace trim. The print is lovely, a cherry blossom print in navy, pink and peach on lighter peach. It does not fit me however, I get significant quadding and spillage on both cups and the sides are just too low to hold all of my breast tissue. I have a larger size in a similar style that is also by Chantelle and it is very comfortable, I assume this one would be for someone else!

This bra fit well - I didn't keep it because I didn't like the color of stitching (taupe colored) on the black bra.

Edit 2/25/14: This was my first bra that fit - originally I barely liked it. Now I think it's my best fitting despite the issues I have with the band. I've adjusted my ratings accordingly. The cups are great for my shallow breasts, and the wires are the perfect width (haven't nailed down my narrow or wide-ness yet). The band has stretched a bit and become more comfortable, although if I inhale all the way the band will creak as though it isn't meant to stretch! The lace is nice, though along the top of one cup it folds outward a bit (not because of quadding, probably from ... my incessant slouching). You can also see in my pictures that the lace along the bottom edge in the front also folds up, probably also from slouching. The wings are a nice height and this bra doesn't squish me anywhere, making it very attractive to wear (although a little constricting due to the stiffness of the band - seems like a contradiction, too constricting and not stretchy enough yet also too loose, but it's somehow true?). The straps are a bit wide set for me, and I'd love this in a 28dd, but it's still a great t-shirt bra (I really need to get one in nude) and I wish I could find more that fit like it for reasonable prices!
Original review: The band on this bra is really stiff and it makes the whole bra feel poorly fitting and loose even on the tightest hook. The cups are fine, the lace accents are nice on them. The lace along the bottom of the band, however, folds upward on me and is slowly sticking out more and more. The underwires poke me in the sternum and I'm often adjusting the center front to stop the uncomfortable feeling. The straps are fine, though they're very close to not adjusting short enough - I have about an inch left as they are currently. Overall, this bra feels kind of tank-like - heavy, stiff, and thick.

The bra in itself is fairly comfortable and really pretty. The quality is good too however, the band is too lose, the top of the gore cuts into the chest, the gore is too narrow for me and the cups peak open at the top, like all bra cups tend to do on me. Also, the straps can't be adjusted quite short enough.

First off, the band is a bit stretchy on this bra, as it easily reaches 31''. However I don't find it to be an issue as my breasts are pretty well self-supporting. The lace at the top of the cups is visible under some of my t-shirts, but largely it's not bothersome. I adore the deep burgundy wine color, and the black detail stitching on the straps is a lovely detail.

I had wrinkling on the top, either because the cup was too big or because I have shallow breasts and he plunge wasn't the best fit for me. Even though it stretched out, the band felt a bit tight, and the wire poked into my underbust so I ended up returning it.

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 was suggested by the fitter at Intimacy. She fitted me in a 30DD rather than a 30D (more common size for me) to get a better underwire fit. I liked it enough in the store to buy and bring home... it gives a little bit of rounded shape on top which is hard to come by with my shape, and there is no itchy lace on the straps. Trying it on again for a longer time at home, the lace is driving me crazy (I am sensitive to this) and the cups have small gaps on top. It will be going back to the store.

I ordered this from ebay and am planning to return it but wanted to add it here for myself to look back on. Band is tight but not too tight. I did have a little trouble getting it hooked the first time. The underwire sits about .5 inches below the intramammary fold. My breast fills the bottom of the cup but there is about a half inch of the cup that is resting on my ribs below my actual breast. THe top of the cup looks okay at first but I can tell that the whole cup is not filled by my shallow wide set breasts. when I move around in the bra, I can see that the cup is pulling and causing some funny wrinkles. This IS a molded cup bra which I was warned may not be a good option for my breast shape.

Loved the C Chic so much that I went back and bought another one when I returned my other Nordstrom bras, this one in purple and on sale!

I bought this bra after it's half cup variation at 30D was too small in the cup for me (and they didn't have 30DD in stock at the time to replace it). The cup is way to big so I am returning it.
edit: I should probably mention that when I said way too big, I meant at the top of the cup.
