The Blue Klein color on Chantelle's C Chic Sexy Plunge (3641) bra is transcendentally blue. It's as blue as something can get, pure and deep and rich. I almost kept the bra for the color alone. I need more extremely low plunge, unlined, sheer, lightweight bras for summer, and this would've been useful in the coming hot weather.

I'm still confused by Chantelle's sizing, so I'm not sure if the 65G Chantelle is really equivalent to a UK 30F. The fit is good, and the center gore is quite low, which I need. However, the cup coverage was considerable. I imagine this is a plunge for soft tissue. Despite ... being low at the front, it has so much cup to contain soft tissue, I believe spillage would be minimized.

For my firm tissue, however, this coverage just makes it look like I'm wearing a lot of bra, despite the low center gore. [Hear a lament for the Blue Klein color here.]

Chantelle is a somewhat high end but not at the level of Prima Donna or Rigby & Peller in terms of pricing. I can really feel the difference in the materials. The fabric of the cups is scratchy, kind of like Cleo Marcie, which I had to break in. Compared to the Prima Donna Madison Plunges, which I have in three colors and were extremely soft right off the bat, the Chantelle C Chic Sexy Plunge feels tolerable but like I need to wash and wear it a few times. I never get the feeling I'm breaking in a Prima Donna.

But that blue! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I like this bra a lot. I love how low the gore is. I like the detail on the straps. No complaints other than that the band is a bit too big and the cup a bit too small. :/ Wish they carried it in my actual size!

This bra is a disaster for me in both 65F and G - lots of wrinkling everywhere. I think the cups are just not deep enough for me - the G fit better as far as wrinkling near the bottom of the cup since it had more space but then the top of the cup was too empty under the lace. Just not a good match for my shape.

Lovely lovely bra! An excellent find at Nordstrom rack. I think I'm starting to discover what bra shapes are working for me, and this checks all the boxes: plunge style, low center gore, wide underwires. The 30 band is not overly tight compared to the 32s I have been wearing, so if you are on the smaller side, I'd size down in the band.

The color is great, and I love the geometric lace print. Could do without the rhinestone "c" though...

The fabric is a little itchy, but hopefully will settle down with washing.

Revisit: This bra doesn't have quite enough projection for me, but still looks good and keeps everything in place. If I were to buy this model again, I'd go up a cup size.

Out of most of the bras I've tried, this one is by far the most comfortable. The cups are wide, which creates a smooth round shape instead of a forward projection like the @Cleo bras. The band stretched out a fair amount after owning it for a month or two, but placing it on the second hook solves that issue.

This is all together a pretty good bra. I did not get cleavage as I would have liked and believe I'm in between the 30 and 32 band size. The 32 band would have fit on one of the tighter hooks and the 30 band was a little too tight on the loosest for comfort. The fabric seems like it could be a bit itchy and it will show through any tight fitting tees. I initially bought it but decided after trying it on the fit was not good enough for the $68 I paid at nordstroms.

On a separate note the saleslady gave me a molded version of this try on in 32... the band was more stretchy and I clearly needed a 30 but they didn't have one. I have yet to find the model for that one.

Oh my god, the gore on this bra is EVIL. It feels good for the first few hours, but gradually gets more uncomfortable. I was able to mostly fix this by bending the gore, but there's a part of me that just plain objects to having to...
