I think that I bought this Chantelle without fitting it correctly because at the time I was desperate for a bra that even remotely fitted (I lost a fair amount of weight). The gore tacks perfectly but the under-wire comes up to a point on my chest where it digs in and is painful/causes bruises (this could be a sizing issue however, I now require a smaller band size etc.). The cups gape a little at the sides just near my underarm, I know this is not a cup-size/bra-size issue as I tried a cup size above and below this that were obviously too small or too big. Though i'm not sure I know enough about breast shape/depth etc. to say why this is!

Aside from the digging in of the under-wire the bra has actually been mostly comfortable, I sometimes need to adjust straps at the end of the day. It is a VERY flattering cut and shape and I swear makes me look a whole dress size smaller. Of course the black and sheer fabric also make it super sexy. It's made out of a very sturdy fabric in the front but the band fabric seems to differ slightly and is a little more stretchy. It seems to have stretched out quickly even with only a few wears and washes in between so I could see that being a problem for bra longevity.
