Beautiful bra which fits me very well. Gives a natural-ish but rounded, cakes in a plate shape to my fuller on bottom breasts. My breasts don't seem larger or more "in your face", just rounded and shown in a classy, discreetly sexy way. Neither markedly shallow nor markedly projected.
Material is firmer than it looks and comfortable. The embroidery is quite beautiful and I love the opal charm. Very classy!
Enough time and wear has passed that I know how this bra behaves when older / more worn. The band stretches but does not become floppy, so while I am now wearing it in the most inner set of hooks, it does not slide during the day. The material on the cups has deformed a little as well, and the bra is clearly ending its useful life, but I can say that this material has lasted more than other bras.
This is both a pretty bra and a quality bra. I'll probably be looking around for more
Shows signs of wear, there are slight discolorations around the armpit, but since it’s a dark color, they are hardly noticeable. Overall condition : okay. I’m selling all my bras since I’ve gone braless for a year.
Tempted to hang on to this bra, but it's just kind of middle of the road.
I think it gives a more rounded shape than many of my wireless bras, but there's also more empty space in the cups as I move around while still being too closed on top. The shape just isn't great for me.
The band is a bit looser or more of a true 32 than I'm used to. The straps are stretchy and longer but fully adjustable. They convert to racerback with a j-hook, but that's hard to do when you have to tighten the straps all the way to the tops of your shoulders!
I've not worn it a full day yet-so I can't say how it wears long term, but out of all the 40-50 bras I tried on this one was the winner! It's perfect for a lined/molded t-shirt type bra, smooth edges, round uplifted shape, it is not full coverage, but it's not a plunge or cleavage creator either. I was in between cup sizes E & F: F has some gaping at the very top and E has every so slightly spillage. I found this at Nordstrom rack for $27+ so far, it's a keeper.
Gives me a nice rounded shape which I prefer to the shape of the purely moulded (one piece) strapless bras.
I own the black one, which, with the lace, manages to be even a bit sexy, not usual for a strapless bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Material is firmer than it looks and comfortable. My favourite bra so far!
Love the color! Light purple/true periwinkle. The band fits well, with very supportive flat outer lace and inner mesh. The bandless front is great, also makes the gore shorter. Great for close-set breasts! The straps are kicked in a little in the front, but even more so in the back; a wonderful feature for narrow shoulders. Unfortunately for me, the underwire and/or cup is too long/shallow and I don't fill out the bottom of the cup. It sits on my ribcage instead. If you are FoT and shallow, this would be a great bra for you. But not for me.
This bra is super comfortable, but doesn't fit the criteria I had when buying it; namely a nude bra that I could wear under a white button-down. The lace is very textured and shows up under fabric that is too thin or slightly sheer. It is, however, a great full-coverage bra for full busts. Definitely not something you could wear under a tank or a dress, but I can run to the bus without worrying that I'll have to subtly put an entire boob back into the cup, or hike my straps all the way back up my arms once I get there. I've had it about six months and worn it about a dozen times (I don't usually wear a bra) whenever I need something comfortable but classy under a dress shirt or something. Not the cutest bra, but it does the job.
This bra is comfortable, and at first I really liked it. Then I started getting picky with it and I found a few issues: the gore gaps a bit at the bottom and I get a small amount of pinching at the top of the cup. I think also it may be a bit too full coverage for my liking. It is a really nice bra in general.
Band fits fine, cups are just too small or too closed at the top. I was so happy to find a basic, comfortable dark brown bra that I bought it, and I shouldn't have. And it is comfortable, I just have extra boobs popping out the top. Ah well.
The band on the bra is very stretchy, even on the tightest hook it's not very firm. My underbust is about 31". I get slight quadboob after scoop and swoop, not enough to be very noticable under shirt. This bra is REALLY comfortable and gives a nice round shape. I'd like it in a smaller band and bigger cup.
I purchased this bra from a lingerie store back in June for $110. It's not a great fit, but it works. It stays up well and the straps are well designed. Because it's a 32 band, I wear this on the 2nd or 3rd set of hooks. I think a larger cup would be better.
This is a wonderful t-shirt bra for ladies with shallow breasts! The lace at the top of the cup helps to hide the edge of the moulded cup under extra thin shirts. The lace at the bottom of the band has an annoying tendency to roll up, but that's merely a superficial problem. Fantastically functional. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> This bra is a smidge too big for me tho.
This is really a hell of a bra. The construction is amazing. But the band is just too big, so it doesn't stay in place and the high gore chafes me and stabs my chest when i bend over. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> et tu, chantelle?! Boy i wish they made this in a 30 band. Maybe if i knew how to alter bands it could work, but my first try is not gonna be on a 90-dollar bra.
This is a very nice bra, but for me the fit is not right. The band is too big and rides up in the back, and I tend to spill out of the cups once this happens. Otherwise it is actually comfortable, I don't get any poking or digging along the wires. Again the straps don't adjust short enough for me, but her I had to tack them down to make them shorter. The cups are shallow, especially at the bottom, to create a lifted look, but in combination with the wide bridge the cleavage created looks more like spillage on me. I also found that the lace pilled up quickly, even though I only hand wash my bras, which was a disappointment.
The pros: This bra is so pretty! The lace is gorgeous. The inside of the cup has a soft satin feel that is glorious! The gore is nice and low. The pads are removable and I had to remove the pad on the left side as that breast is larger than my right. Overall, I would say this is a close enough fit. I may alter it later.
The cons: I did buy this bra used and I am more of a 30 band, so when I got it I immediately had to do it up on the tightest hooks. The straps are adjusted as tight as possible so over time I may have to alter those. I have soft tissue and close set breasts so I am very slightly falling out the center. Not enough to be concerned, but that is probably where I will make the first alteration.
This is a beautiful bra. While high quality, the fabric was not as soft as I am used to for Chantelle's but may soften with washing and wear. The straps were pretty far apart, even for my wider shoulders and I was not sold on the accordion shape of them, at least not for all day wear. I prefer a flatter strap for that.
The wires and gore were perfect for me, perfectly encapsulated my breasts. The cups are a bit shallower, but this worked great with my breast shape (little to no projection due to implant reconstruction). Normally I do not like plunges as I prefer feeling a ...little more secure, but I felt quite secure in this bra.
I did find the band really stretchy, not unusual for Chantelle's. I think a 30 might be perfect for me. Perhaps I will try it and that might also solve the straps being too wide issue, as otherwise the bra felt perfect.
I did not like the little "c" charm, a little too hokey for me, but the rest of the bra details were lovely, this is a very pretty, delicate in appearance but very well made, bra. Read more 87 more words
