Chantelle Rive Gauche 3 Part Cup Bra 3281 Reviews

****+ Very expensive, but a WONDERFUL bra. The fit is perfect, it seems that you have to spend a lot of money before a manufacturer understands simple dynamics on large cup sized like me a "G." No fat squeezes out anywhere, no muffin top and no irritation at the end of the day. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 Star was the prize OUCH! :) Cindy from Ft Lauderdale, FL

This is my favorite bra, hands down. The lace is sexy, the fit is fabulous, and the support is amazing. Chantelle might be my new favorite bra maker. Dinah from Boston, MA, USA

I've been wearing this bra for a year. I have bought 6 during that time. I rotate everyday. I wash with lingerie detergent in a lingerie bag, on hand wash mode in a very nice washing machine. Consistently, I find the side boning breaking through the seam causing an unbearable painful poke on my sides. They are expensive and can't justify buying 3 more today because of this poor construction issue. Need to find another brand. It's a shame because I have never seen a more beautiful bra.

Chantelle Response: Bras should be hand washed only. Machine washing ,no matter how gently is not recommended for bras as it can damage or compromise the bras construction. Stacy from Lewisville, TX

Cup width was perfect for me, however other parts of cup were too large, it came up high in armpits and baggy in other areas.

Chantelle Response: The wings or underarm band on this style is designed for women that need additional coverage or height in this area. We would suggest Chantelle Cachemire bra 3371 3-part cup which offers less coverage under the arm than style 3281. Alana from Tallahassee, FL

Love this brand. It's as consistent as HerRoom. The fit is exact. The give is incredible, while maintaining it's shape and snug fit. My body moves a lot during a normal day, this bra moves with me. Love the sexy sheerness, too. Cannot say enough great things about this bra. Hapster from Chattanooga, Tn USA

This bra has been the very best bra I have ever purchased in my life. The 3 part cup goes with you when you breathe and is so absolutely comfortable it's unbelievable. The very best bra ever manufactured. Thank you so much. marilyn from hamden, ct.

Love this bra!! Very feminine looking but good support. Really wish the 32's came in a double DD as this bra runs small. (If it did it would rate a five star!!!) Shirl' from Baxter, Tn, USA

Just turned 61, and believe it's a shame that it took this long to discover what a truly comfortable bra for a large size woman is -Chantelle. One does not have to wear utilitarian bras with wide straps and plain cups. I'm indulging in incredibly soft, sexy, luxurious bras now and what a delight. There's no going back for me. Please take the time to be fitted by a professional fitter. You'll be glad you did. Paulete from Wytheville, VA

I absolutely love this bra! The fit is just right and it is really comfortable. I also love the soft red color. A beautiful, tasteful, comfortable, red bra is an almost impossible find for someone with my cup size...that is until now. Ronin from Vallejo, CA

Beautiful bra and the fit is true. Size has become very hit and miss but this bra really fit perfectly. Others I ordered this size did not fit as well. Good support, modest design and comfortable. Well worth the money. The important thing though, is how it wears and lasts. I'll be back to report on that. Boobalicious from Midcoastal Maine

This bra is extremely expensive, and the fabric is a bit scratchy, but it is a lovely bra and the only style I've found that fits me and looks pretty. Submitted from TheUndies.com

Amazing combination of sexy and feminine lace with comfortable, long-lasting support in cup, underwire, band and straps -- and it makes clothes worn over it look so much better! Looks fabulous without clothes too!! Submitted from TheUndies.com

I have been wearing Chantelle bras for over 5 years. I would not wear any other brand. The 3281 Rive Gauche is the best you can even sleep in it ,so comfy,supportive and pretty. Jules from Savanna,IL

This is the best bra I have ever owned. It is lovely, sturdy, keeps my breast in place, fits against my breast bone. I am short waisted and have a small rib cage so this bra does ride high under my arms causing a little discomfort, but I still vote it the best so far (my search has just began). I love this site. I feel so blessed to have found it. Shipping is beautiful and fast. Returns so easy without any hassle. Love it!!!!! Brenda from Marshallville, Georgia, USA

Not supportive enough. Doesn't lift the breast - hangs too low even with strap adjustments. Would have sent it back but I wore it hoping to change my mind. Not worth the high price. Blueeyesdiamond1 from Yucaipa, CA 92399

Outstanding, even for a 3 part bra, the fit and comfort is outstanding. When paired with the matching panties..it has proved a very exciting turn-on for my husband! He loves the set as do I! Katrina from Hilton Head Island

This is by far the BEST bra I have ever owned. Not only is it comfortable, but it lifts AND separates. While that's terrific, what's so ultra pleasing is the look of the bra. It's feminine and sexy! -- Being busty, I haven't had pretty options...until now. Before this Chantelle bra, my only options were heavy-duty, wide, ugly, functional bras. Finally, someone understands that large-sized bras can be attractive too. I own the black one and the beige one. Michelle F from Byhalia
