This bra fits nicely on your chest though, the top of the cup slightly wrinkles.

This bra is very nice and quality built. I love the fact it's a plung and gives a fantastic rounded natural shape. The cup consists of two layers of fabric. A logo mesh over a sturdy nude color backing for the bottom of the cup with a more transparent layer behind the top portion of the cup. The lace detail along the top of the cup is visually intricate yet creates a flat smooth edge even under clothing. The wires are very sturdy and don't distort at all. The band is comfy but not as tight as I had hoped for. If only they made this In a 28 band, as I have to wear this on the tightest set of hooks right out of the gate. The straps are fully adjustable with an interesting gathered/pleated covering along the strap elastic. Overall I'm really impressed with this bra.

Awesome for projected, even/slightly full on top breasts with little/average separation

Very soft, would probably be comfortable if you can wear it.

This review is for the black colorway.

I wish the plunge style came in my size, because I have had good luck with Chantelle plunges so far. Not so with the full-coverage bras, however. This bra was cute and made me reconsider my negative opinion on stained-glass-window cup styles because it wasn't too obvious. It also gave good support and shape. However, I just could not get around the center underwires. They were too far apart and came up way too high, so they dug in terribly. I was literally bruised after about 3 hours of wear. I returned this bra.

This is the only bra I own that I can wear with tank tops. It's not super low cut, but lower than most in these sizes, and doesn't show under clothing. I wear it a lot because of this, and though I wouldn't describe it as a "sexy" bra, it's definitely not unflattering! The pads are enough to keep nipples from showing in the cold, but don't add any size.

It's a soft and comfortable bra, but I think the band feels a little large. It still stays in place, but I wouldn't trust it as a convertible strapless unless I could go down a band size.

My first bra I ever got that actually fit me! It is in terrible shape now due to it being my only bra for period of time. It has a flattening effect and minimizes cleavage. SUPER DUPER COMFY. LIKE, THE MOST COMFORTABLE BRA EVER. It can be made into a racer back, which is great. Its not moulded, but also not a sheer fabric, which I love. I always wanted this one in orange but could never find it!

Fit was not for me. Thin material (unlined style) not what I was looking for in a t-shirt bra.

The Blue Klein color on Chantelle's C Chic Sexy Plunge (3641) bra is transcendentally blue. It's as blue as something can get, pure and deep and rich. I almost kept the bra for the color alone. I need more extremely low plunge, unlined, sheer, lightweight bras for summer, and this would've been useful in the coming hot weather.

I'm still confused by Chantelle's sizing, so I'm not sure if the 65G Chantelle is really equivalent to a UK 30F. The fit is good, and the center gore is quite low, which I need. However, the cup coverage was considerable. I imagine this is a plunge for soft tissue. Despite ... being low at the front, it has so much cup to contain soft tissue, I believe spillage would be minimized.

For my firm tissue, however, this coverage just makes it look like I'm wearing a lot of bra, despite the low center gore. [Hear a lament for the Blue Klein color here.]

Chantelle is a somewhat high end but not at the level of Prima Donna or Rigby & Peller in terms of pricing. I can really feel the difference in the materials. The fabric of the cups is scratchy, kind of like Cleo Marcie, which I had to break in. Compared to the Prima Donna Madison Plunges, which I have in three colors and were extremely soft right off the bat, the Chantelle C Chic Sexy Plunge feels tolerable but like I need to wash and wear it a few times. I never get the feeling I'm breaking in a Prima Donna.

But that blue! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I like this bra a lot. I love how low the gore is. I like the detail on the straps. No complaints other than that the band is a bit too big and the cup a bit too small. :/ Wish they carried it in my actual size!

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.

Lovely lovely bra! An excellent find at Nordstrom rack. I think I'm starting to discover what bra shapes are working for me, and this checks all the boxes: plunge style, low center gore, wide underwires. The 30 band is not overly tight compared to the 32s I have been wearing, so if you are on the smaller side, I'd size down in the band.

The color is great, and I love the geometric lace print. Could do without the rhinestone "c" though...

The fabric is a little itchy, but hopefully will settle down with washing.

Revisit: This bra doesn't have quite enough projection for me, but still looks good and keeps everything in place. If I were to buy this model again, I'd go up a cup size.

Out of most of the bras I've tried, this one is by far the most comfortable. The cups are wide, which creates a smooth round shape instead of a forward projection like the @Cleo bras. The band stretched out a fair amount after owning it for a month or two, but placing it on the second hook solves that issue.

This is all together a pretty good bra. I did not get cleavage as I would have liked and believe I'm in between the 30 and 32 band size. The 32 band would have fit on one of the tighter hooks and the 30 band was a little too tight on the loosest for comfort. The fabric seems like it could be a bit itchy and it will show through any tight fitting tees. I initially bought it but decided after trying it on the fit was not good enough for the $68 I paid at nordstroms.

On a separate note the saleslady gave me a molded version of this try on in 32... the band was more stretchy and I clearly needed a 30 but they didn't have one. I have yet to find the model for that one.

Oh my god, the gore on this bra is EVIL. It feels good for the first few hours, but gradually gets more uncomfortable. I was able to mostly fix this by bending the gore, but there's a part of me that just plain objects to having to...

This bra fits me quite well though three hooks placed so far apart is a bit much. It is extremely comfortable and fits well under t-shirts. One small problem is the center gore which would not sit flat no matter what size I tried. Chantelle bras usually wear somewhat quickly, I'll edit this review when I've tested it.

This is a very good basic bra, except this bra isn't right for me. I don't fill out the bottom of the cups and the wire tends to pull away on the rib cage. After wearing it for 10 hours it start to pinch under the armpits. Nothing too outstanding, but good for the basics.

This bra is pretty great! It's comfortable with the wide straps and wide back band and has a bit of compression and good lifting effect. It almost feels as secure as a good sports bra, which I appreciate because most of the time I don't want any wobbling whatsoever. I'm somewhere between a 30 and 32 band, and this fits quite snugly, but not uncomfortably. The only con I can see is that the embroidery, while gorgeous, is quite raised off the main material so that it shows through a tee shirt a decent amount. I don't really mind it, but be warned it is fairly bumpy lace.
