I don't know what I was thinking sizing up in the cup in such a comparatively shallow bra--my only excuse is I desperately needed a lower cut black bra as I wanted to be able to wear more of my black shirts, many of which were cut too low for the nursing bras I'd been wearing quite some time.

Naturally, the inevitable happened: the too-wide wires hurt my sides, the shallow cup still flattened my profile and looked strange under shirts, the whole bra felt oddly tight even though I have others which measure the same or smaller (but when half the bra is taken up by unfilled underwire, the stretch in the band itself can't help you, and it just hurts).

Anyway. This bra is clearly NOT for the more projected boob. Shallower shapes will probably find a good fit.

The materials are good quality and the bra is well-made with a lot of attention to detail. Band seems to be made of very firm material, which I like. It's not my taste--Chantelle has repositioned itself design-wise to extend its global appeal by adding a great number of these caricaturally "Fifi the French maid" Disneyland-French designs, which I find cheap and cheesy, not to mention lacking in exoticism as I am French myself. However, to the non-French eye it is probably a cute bra, and I admit I'm curmudgeonly about these things (see above).

This bra is not owned any more
