Note: Entire cup is lined in this size. The upper panel is not more sheer, although there is some see-through for the cups.
Overall quality of the fabric doesn't seem as nice as most Chantelles, although the wing fabric is very strong. The fit is also not as nice as I'm used to with them.
Great support, but the cups seemed to be straining a little bit, so a cup size up would have been better. The band runs smaller than other Chantelle bras I've tried, and felt right about right for my 28"-ish underbust.
My main objection was to the underwires. The shape was strange and made ... too deep a U, which meant that my breasts couldn't quite sit at the bottom and the wires dug under my arm. The center portions of the wires also ran too high to press into my sternum, and caused too much space between the cups. The area by the arm is also a bit scratchy, but I think that will go away with a bit of use.
Not terrible, but I won't be buying another of these.

Well, this bra is really comfortable, except for the gore. It's really wide or something because it doesn't lay flat on me. I've never had this problem before, my boobs are I guess wider set maybe I think ? So that's not something that usually happens. I've been trying to find an unpadded bra I can actually wear without worrying about show-through and this is not it. I guess I'll just stick to molded :/

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.
