I was looking for a vertical-seam bra for the days when I don't want my boobs as out-there in the world, and this bra does the job perfectly. My tissue is a little soft for such low coverage, but it still works with no spillage.
Because the cups are shallow (it's ok -- it's a halfcup and i want it to be shallow/minimized) the underwires can ride down a tiny bit if i am very active; not a big deal.
The straps are very far apart; only an issue when driving.
There is a little quality issue where the hooks are attached to the band. There's some scratchy melted polyester where ... it was like heat sealed on or something. I'm covering it with some ribbon, but come on Chantelle, this is like a $100 bra. Some of the panache sport bras have this too.
The best part about this bra is the band. There are 4 rows of hooks and eyes, which is awesome because it's a little loose but a 34 would be too tight. The band is double layer and the bottom elastic does not dig in, miracle of miracles, not at all, not even a little bit, i'm looking at you comexim. The outer fabric is soft and lovely.
Aesthetically the bra is very pretty, though i have the black/purple and i liked some of the other colorways better, oh well.
Overall i think this is one of chantelle's stronger offerings.
