Fits pretty well, other than just a little wide.

Pretty item! Cups & band too small but reluctant to order up or add an extender given the straps were placed way too wide for my narrow shoulders.

Gorgeous bra, just a little too small for my larger breast. Had to go up a cup size to accommodate!

The 65F Chantelle Pure Full Coverage T-shirt Bra (3616) size notations, printed on the band, says the 65F is equivalent to a UK 30F. I don't know if I believe this. I had understood Chantelle's sizing skips DD and FF, which would mean this is really a UK 30E.

In any case, it seems to fit well. This is a smooth cup bra with convertible straps that are detachable where they attach at the back. It's in a nude-for-me The straps are fully adjustable. Everything pressure point is well padded and comfortable against my body.

So why am I donating this bra? The center gore is a bit over ... 2" high. In addition, where the two underwires meet at the sternum, there is visible fabric, about 0.25" between the tips. That means my boobs, which in a bra have zero space between them above any center gore1.5" or higher, will sooner or later regret my wearing this bra.

Unlike my Prima Donna Perle Contour Plunge Bra, which is also a smooth cup in a prettier nude-for-me color, the cups of the Chantelle Pure Full Coverage T-shirt Bra do not cover a lot of chest, at least for a 2.25" center gore T-shirt bra. Where the Chantelle straps attach to the cups is relatively low on my chest compared to all my Prima Donna plunges, smooth cup or otherwise.

Anyway, the shape I get in this is neither strikingly projected or rounded. It's a decent T-shirt bra shape that wouldn't make me self-conscious in public.

Cups are too shallow and wires are too wide for me.

An excellent bra, though with the same problem as the others like it I've had, with the underwire against the rib just to the right of the sternum. This bra is just a little too small for me, having purchased it when I weighed about five pounds less. I wore it for a little while (until realizing it was the wrong size).

pros: this bra is extremely well-made and lovely both on and off. it offers a comfortable everyday level of support and it's sexy enough for a romantic evening. also for those of us with tiny ribcages, the band tends to run smaller. i love how pretty and classy i feel in this bra.

cons: this is probably mostly due to my wearing a size smaller than i should, but the cups give me an odd shape, especially under thin shirts. i have to push each breast up and to the side at least once a day (and usually more often) to avoid four-boob - which means it's not the best bra for cleavage.

Too roomy all around in the cups, and the straps were placed too far apart for me. I'd need to try at least one cup size down for this bra to work. Love the narrow gore though!

Straps are also a little difficult to adjust due to the decorative layered fabric.

Plunges don't usually work for me because my boobs will fall toward the middle, but this keeps them right in place. The cups are very wide and pretty shallow, which is perfect for me. The center gore is very low and the ends of the wires dig in there and it becomes uncomfortable by the end of the day. Other than that, a great bra. Really pretty too.

One of the prettiest and comfiest unlined bras I've ever tried!

This fits really well, but is rather uncomfortable and somewhat painful after a full days wear. The center gore comes up way to high for me and digs in to my chest.

This bra is a disaster for me in both 65F and G - lots of wrinkling everywhere. I think the cups are just not deep enough for me - the G fit better as far as wrinkling near the bottom of the cup since it had more space but then the top of the cup was too empty under the lace. Just not a good match for my shape, might be better for a shallower bust than mine.

This bra fits me perfectly and is super comfortable. The best fitting bra I have ever put on. My only issue with it is that it gives me a minimized (still very round though) shape that I don't really like. Since this is one of my first good bras I guess I am just still getting used to it, I'm used to my old push up bras. But I'd really like to find a bra that gives me a little more cleavage.

The band is not very forgiving on this bra. It tends to make a squeaky noise when adjusting. The gore is high, but lays nicely on the skin.

The fabric is soft and lightweight. It gives a nice silhouette under tops, not much of the lace or seams show.

I find that even though the cups/wires and gore are high and the band is tight, it is still a good bra. I thought for sure I would want to burn it within an hour of wear but I have went all day with no real pain or discomfort.

This bra looks like a nice, plain t-shirt bra (mine is nude colored), but when I put it on it does nothing flattering for my chest. The cups are too separate for my breasts.

A nice t-shirt bra, but I somehow do not fill the bottom of these cups. They are folding into me? Anyway, band's too loose, too. This Chantelle bra does not give me as much separation as the other Chantelle bras I've reviewed (which is a good thing), but is still more separate than I want. This is a pretty good bra overall, though. Might keep it for just at home.

This is a nice, lacy, nude bra. I think I'm too narrow (front view) for this to look good on me. The cups appear too far apart making me look wider than I am. I do like the 4 hooks, but they're a bit difficult to hook together (I've only ever worked with 2 hooks). Slightly cuts into my breasts, not because the cup is too small, but because my breasts are too full on too for this bra.

This was the bra a fitter at Nordstrom used to determine my cup size. She said it's one of their "fit bras" and to.d me it fit me beautifully. Since I have never found a great-fitting non-padded, seamed bra, I bought this one right out of the fitting room. I would say that it's a 90% perfect fit. The wires ate the right length, the straps ate well-placed and adjust to a great length. And the straps are actually made of a soft, ribbon-lime, but almost ribbed material, which means that that they stay firmly in place once adjusted. The fabric is lovely for a simple, nude bra. It's pretty and almost lacey but not at all scratchy. I also love the detail on the center gore. It's a nice bra to wear under non-fitted shirts, tank tops, etc. for a minimal look. I wear it under some shirts that would look too tight or bulky with a moulded or padded bra underneath.

Perfect fit except for the center gore. I have to adjust it every so often so I don't get red marks between my boobs.
