Chantelle Rive Gauche 3 Part Cup Bra 3281 Reviews

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

Dept store told me this bra was no longer made. Imagine my pleasure discovering it on HerRoom! It's perfect! Mary from Dallas, Texas

This is a fabulous bra for the busty gal. I wear a size 34 DDD (34F), and found it to fit nicely, comfortably, and minimize without being a "minimizer." Though I would say that it creates a bit of a "cone" shape, but that could just be my shape. I LOVE that it's not padded in the least - it conforms nicely to your shape, and isn't scratchy or itchy, even with the lace. It separates well, with full coverage, but doesn't feel like a frumpy bra. The lacing is beautiful and feminine, and I would highly recommend this bra to the larger woman who hasn't found the right fit. I went through dozens of bras before this one (cheapo bras mostly), that would lose shape and support in a few months. The Rive Gauche is incredible - I now have three of them!

The band ran big for me and the cup was small. I wear 32-34 H in other brands so it surprised me the cup was not by any means adequate. The material and overall construction seemed really nice. Cyn from North Lawrence, Ohio

I changed sizes last spring--lost 30 lbs and went from 34 DDD to 32 G in Chantelle so I experimented with new styles especially since the Legend was being discontinued. I think this is my favorite. I first mistakenly bought the 32 DDD and am wearing it but it is just tad small. I like that the DDD has only two hooks in the back but the G has 3. I don't like that as much although I've worn 3 and 4 all my life but I understand the need for support. My last purchase was the Violet and I love it. Martine from Salt Lake City, Utah

Hands down this is the best bra on the market. I have been wearing this brand for a while and love it. It is well constructed and with proper care, can last YEARS! Andrea from Naperville, Illinois

This is an excellent fitting bra. I also received excellent customer service and prompt mailing from Herroom. Coco from Atlanta/Georgia/USA

Very comfortable, and certainly one of the most supportive bras I own. A bit expensive, but quickly became one of my favorites! Liza from Seattle, WA

Very pretty balconette bra. Fits wonderfully! I wore it for 4 days before I discovered an "issue" with it: the wire is a bit uncomfortable underneath the arms on me personally. Anon from Chicago, IL

This is a beautiful and well-made bra, but unfortunately I had to return it. The largest cup, H, is still about one size too small. KC Pending from Oregon

I'd read such great reviews about this bra that I decided to roll the dice and order it online. Unfortunately, it can't take what I'm dishing up. The material and straps have too much give. Even with the three part construction, there's not enough lift or shaping. It's not comfortable, either. On the upside, it is one of the prettiest bras I've owned, and it's light enough to make summers in Phoenix almost comfortable. Miriam from Phoenix, AZ

Best fitting bra I've had in some years. Too bad they have discontinued the model I ordered or I would have bought more. Eileen from Huntington Beach, CA

Excellent fit and support. True to size. Only problem, not good under T-shirts, etc. as seems will show through. I have 4 of these bras now. Wish there was a similar style with no seems showing through. VSW from New York, NY

Nice bra! The girls stay where they are placed, no shifting throughout the day. The center doesn't go all the way to my chest but it's close. The underwire pokes in the underarms a little too. All in all though, it's a nice bra. Nothing fits like the Elomi Cleo -- that is a Five Star Bra! It's offered through this website too. Kristine from Sacramento, CA

I love the design and the craftsmanship that goes into this bra. However, I am having issues with this bra. I got the bra in a 38H because the 36H bra's underwires were really tight and it felt as if they were digging into my body. Unfortunately, while the bra cups in the 38H fit, the bra strap is rising up in the back. I love this bra, but I'm not even sure what my size is anymore. Kimberly from Memphis, TN

I have purchased many items from Her Room and it is always a pleasant experience that begins with unwrapping the lilac trademark tissue paper. This last acquisition may be my favorite purchase, yet. This bra may seem pricey, but having weathered neck and back surgery, finding a comfortable bra is a challenge and with the Rive Gauche bra from Chantelle, I believe my search is over. From early morning, through the work day and into the late evening, I wore this garment and was able to concentrate on the things at hand instead of discomfort and back pain. Lots of detail, beautifully made, lots of support, AND it is actually pretty - made me feel pretty, too! I would recommend this bra for anyone, but especially those with a larger bust size looking for quality and support. Josette from Pampa, Texas

Beautiful fit. It's so hard to find a pretty bra that fits well in a 42G. This does both! JackieS from St. Louis, MO

Love the bra! The cup is cut larger and the band is cut smaller. I usually wear a 38DD, but read the comments and ordered accordingly-happy I did! Will order it again. Marge from Winston-Salem, NC

I love this bra! It is the best fitting one I have ever had. It does not bind anywhere. Only complaint is the slight "squeek" that the underwire makes. I have noticed that before in other Chantalle bras. Lee from Los Angeles CA USA

This is a very pretty bra and it has a good fit. The lace is scratchy and the boning under the arm pokes. I had to send it back. Laurie from Desert Hot Springs, CA

The construction is perfect for a big chest. Look is feminine. Awesome bra. I have a small band (32) but big chest. Defies gravity, prevents breast tissue from disappearing under arms and places it forward for nice cleavage. Love the fit, love the look. Again, only thing I would change is the seams which do show under your clothing. I'm wearing layers to help, but it still shows under two shirts. Beautiful bra, excellent fit, great support. Now if they would line it with an outer fabric to cover seaming. Chilly from Santa Rosa

I love the look of this bra. I sent the first one back for a different color I realized that i really didn't want a stark white bra. I'm sending this cappuccino back for a smaller size, 32F instead of 34F, because I've recently lost 20 lbs and I had to use the tightest hook and it was still not that tight on my rib cage. I know it will stretch so even though I don't measure a 32, I'm going to try it. Also because of the weight loss the left cup had a few puckers as my left breast is naturally smaller than the right. The right one was fine so I'm hoping that the smaller band size with the same size cup will be a perfect fit! Martine from Salt Lake City, Utah
