The 65F Chantelle Pure Full Coverage T-shirt Bra (3616) size notations, printed on the band, says the 65F is equivalent to a UK 30F. I don't know if I believe this. I had understood Chantelle's sizing skips DD and FF, which would mean this is really a UK 30E.
In any case, it seems to fit well. This is a smooth cup bra with convertible straps that are detachable where they attach at the back. It's in a nude-for-me The straps are fully adjustable. Everything pressure point is well padded and comfortable against my body.
So why am I donating this bra? The center gore is a bit over ... 2" high. In addition, where the two underwires meet at the sternum, there is visible fabric, about 0.25" between the tips. That means my boobs, which in a bra have zero space between them above any center gore1.5" or higher, will sooner or later regret my wearing this bra.
Unlike my Prima Donna Perle Contour Plunge Bra, which is also a smooth cup in a prettier nude-for-me color, the cups of the Chantelle Pure Full Coverage T-shirt Bra do not cover a lot of chest, at least for a 2.25" center gore T-shirt bra. Where the Chantelle straps attach to the cups is relatively low on my chest compared to all my Prima Donna plunges, smooth cup or otherwise.
Anyway, the shape I get in this is neither strikingly projected or rounded. It's a decent T-shirt bra shape that wouldn't make me self-conscious in public.
