Most bras have straps that are too wide-set for me and too wide/high of a gore. This is my perfect bra for support, fit, and shape. This is my second time buying the Rive Gauche -- I also have it in the 34E (US) and that band is a little too tight now that I've put my nursing bras away and brought my normal ones back out, so I went up a size and I'm confident I will love this one too!

FIRST IMPRESSION:
It does not really fit me, but because of the stretchy top of cup, the quadboob effect is lessened. I will wear it until I migrate more and need a bigger cup size.

Wires are too narrow, but they do not poke.
Surprisingly comfortable, even though it's not the right cup size.
Straps are wonderfully placed. When I can afford this bra in a larger cup size, I will purchase it.

AFTER A DAY OF WEARING:
Ugh.
Very uncomfortable for me.
Wires WAY too narrow and painful. By the end of the day: bottom of wire 1/2-inch to 1 inch under my breast, cuts in at least an inch into my sideboob, tilts upward so bottom curve of wire is away from breast and center gore DIGS like there is no tomorrow.
Very wrong cup size - holds bottom of wire away from body.
Band - rides up in back

I really like the way this bra fits my boobs in the cups. My only problem with it is that I have to use an extender with it and it fits me fine even though it is not a sister size of my normal 40D/38E . And this is one well made bra. I would for recomend Rive Gauche and Chantelle in general to my friends.

Comfortable bra. Didn't like it as much as the Pont D'Arts style. No longer fits with my current measurements.
