This bra is discontinued.
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 :/

This is such a well-made bra I just wished it fit me. Even with two bra extenders it's still too small in the band and I have to struggle to even hook it up. The cups are my sister size to my 40D/38DD normal sizing and fit my boobs but I don't really care for the fit. So this bra I'll give to my friend and see if she can get some use out of it.Don't let my review influence you . It's not the bra, it's me. Let me say again that this bra is full quality and very well-made!

I think this must be the wrong size for me, since it's quite painful to wear. The wires dig into my breastbone and I get painful red marks after only a few minutes. The wire is also too narrow for me; it sits on the outside of my breast. The construction seems nice otherwise, and it's pretty, but smooth enough to wear under normal clothes.

This bra is tight at first, but since wearing it its loosened up and is becoming more and more comfortable every day. very true to size!

Comfortable fabric, nice nude bra for my pale skin. Cups are too small, causing quad-boob and keeping the gore away from my sternum. Wires poke into breast tissue at center after a few hours. Good support, could be good in a bigger size.

Very stiff and tight compared to the rive gauche. Cups slightly small, but I'm thinking they'll stretch out some. Band is tighter than other Chantelle 34/75's I own, but the material is also heavier & scratchy. I'm hoping a few washings will soften it up. Overall I'm a little disappointed, but I'm crossing my fingers it will work out.

This is a very good basic bra, except this bra isn't right for me. I don't fill out the bottom of the cups and the wire tends to pull away on the rib cage. After wearing it for 10 hours it start to pinch under the armpits. Nothing too outstanding, but good for the basics.

Pros: Comfortable and well made; the seams give good shaping but don't show through clothes. Cons: I like a bra that does more to bring my breasts front and center; high underwires were a problem early on (I have a short waist), but I seem to be getting used to them.

It does sit fairly low on the chest and fits larger than other 32" bands, I would say the band is very stretchy. The fabric isn't terrible, but it also can be somewhat itchy but does disappear under knit tops which is nice.
I would say if you carried your tissue high on your chest it would be better to balance it out.

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.
