The band on this style is definitely tighter than a regular Chantelle 32, so that on its tightest hook it's the same as a 30. Other Chantelles I have are still not tight enough at the tightest hook for me at this point (I'm a 30 underbust). The cups at this point are too big, but once again it's not noticeable under my clothes. If I could find a 32DD it might work better for me right now.

This actually looks OK under clothing, but it's a little roomy in the cup. I have it on the tightest hook, but they don't make a 30!

I like this bra because I don't get a line on my chest, although the cups are too big and the band is too big at this point. I wear it on the tightest hook, and the cups don't show up as too big under my shirt.

This bra should be good, but no matter what size I wore (32DDDD, 32DDD, 32DD), it just didn't have enough support

Loved this when I was 15lb heavier, now it's too big in the cups! The 32D is too small, and I couldn't find a 32DD to try on.

Very comfortable bra. The 32 band is a little loose on me but they don't make a 30 in my size and otherwise it fit better than the other gadzillion bras I tried on at Nordstrom. The top edge will occasionally show under a top but mostly good. The side/back straps are a little narrow so I do get some back bulge. Wish it had more side support.

I have tried this bra on so many times hoping that, this time, it'll fit. So far no dice. This is especially disappointing because the one other Chantelle I have (C Paris Memory Foam) is also a 32DDD and fits great in the cups but is too big in the band.
The band on this bra is fine -- a little tight but not so tight that I'd go up a size; it would be perfect after being worn a bit. The cups are the problem for me. They are definitely too small -- I don't get terrible quad-boob, but it's there, and my boobs can escape some of the sides, too. The shape is also very unflattering, although that may be tied to the cup just being the wrong size. The underwires aren't very flexible, which means that the center gore doesn't QUITE lay flat against my chest, but it's close.
I find the fabric kind of itchy, but I think that's something that would go away with wear and washing.

This bra fits me in the band and in the cup pretty good. I have augmented breasts however and it is just not a comfortable all day bra.

I like this bra a lot. It's really cute on, but the band is a bit too big for me. If I wear it on the loosest hook, it doesn't give much support and kind of a weird shape, but if I wear it on the tightest hook, it looks great, with a nice rounded shape; so make sure you get the band right on this one, because it REALLY affects how things look. This was a difficult bra to get the fit right in the cups, but once I figured it out, it was fantastic.

Straps seem overly stretchy on this one. Brand new. Wore it to work and by mid afternoon I was sagging and it was pulling away from the top of the bust. $$ and not terribly happy with it.
The cup on this one puckers at the inner corner of the underwire jutting outward and tips away.

Ugh, just, this thing. It makes me SO angry. Don't know why having TWO Chantelle bras was a good idea...
