It's everything I like in a Chantelle bra: gorgeous and functional all at the same time. For years I thought a support bra for a big cup size required a 4-hook closure; Chantelle achieves the support with just 2 hooks and the wings stay put, not stretching like other brands I've worn. So happy to have re-discovered Chantelle after all these years. I wore the Chantelle Fete as a teen growing up in Europe. Martine from Salt Lake City, Utah

My favorite bra! Very comfortable and pretty. The cups are lined with a soft, thin fabric, so there is no itchy lace directly against the skin. It's not a great bra for t-shirts because of the lace. Still, for anything else, this is my first choice. J from Nashville, TN

It is a very comfortable bra. I could wear it all day. Chantelle has always been my favorite brand, because of my size. I ordered 34, since I put on weight but usually I take 32. Maybe 32 would have been a better fit, as the underwire sometimes feels under my arm. By adjusting the underwire it becomes more comfortable. Cathy from Bradenton

The bra is very nice looking but the underwire digs into my underarm which makes it pretty uncomfortable after wearing it for a few hours.

HerRoom Response: We note that you are petite in stature. Unfortunately, the wires are probably too high for your build. Kelly from New Berlin

This is my favorite Chantelle bra. It offers a great fit, very true to size. It is very sexy, yet gives amazing lift, separates the breasts and keeps them there. The pictures do not do this bra justice, it has a beautiful lace design with little flowers. Looks great under even the thinnest fabrics, I have yet to wear it with a top that shows through. The lace is a bit scratchy at first, but a washing will soften it up. I cannot stress how beautiful the lace detail is on this bra. The Rive Gauche is my favorite Chantelle collection. Everything about this bra is just amazing, a perfect choice for larger breasted girls. Dana from OK

Pretty and surprisingly comfortable, the fabric is soft and stretchy. This bra is sure to be a winner for a lot of ladies. For me, it isn't quite right. It fit very well and felt nice and supportive the first couple of wearings, but by the third time it seemed to have stretched out too much. I was going into the tightest hole in the band and it seemed to want to go tighter. The shaping in the cups was fine, but again by that third wearing I felt like they weren't giving me the lift I wanted. The softness and stretchiness will be appreciated by many wearers -- for me, I suppose a more rigid construction is best. I love the demi bra in the Rive Gauche collection. The two have little in common other than some style elements.

HerRoom Response: If you were wearing this bra for three days in a row without washing it, this could be a problem. Women in large cups really need to let a bra rest for at least 24 hours before wearing again. This allows the bra to return to its original shape. Also, after two wearings, a bra should be washed to help it return to shape as well.

Chantelle Response: We suggest she stay with the demi if that is what works for her or try the Chantelle Rive Gauch T-Shirt Bra 3086 , balconnet. 3281 is too much bra for her, if she wants a demi look. Washing the bra should get the shape back in 3281, but 3086 is really the bra for her in our opinion. Kitty from New York

It is so comfortable, I forget I am wearing a bra. I don't feel so large that all you see are breasts. I plan to buy four more. myrma from Pinole, Ca

I love this bra. The three-part construction provides excellent support so the girls are where they belong. It's comfortable and it's pretty. I couldn't ask for more. I do take a cup size larger in Chantelle than with my other bras (Wacoal). I will be buying this bra again. Kudos also to HerRoom for prompt and professional customer service.

I really loved the fit of this bra, and it was very pretty, but I returned it because I prefer bras with some type of lining for smooth coverage. Jill from San Marcos, CA USA

Chantelle Rive Gauche is such a pretty bra. Needs to be seen under see thru outerwear. Really fits well with pronounced bust line. Love it. Chrissy from Orlando FL USA

LOVE this bra. I ordered four different brands in the same size and had to send them all back. The cups were too big or the band too tight. This bra was PERFECT. I think I need ones that only have two clasps as the back rather than three....that might be the trick. It is sooooo pretty I don't want to wear it. This is the ONLY bra I'll buy from now on!!!!!!!!!!!! elise from irvine

Very comfortable. Sizing seems to be true. Band is supportive, cups lift and separate for a complimentary look not pushed up and back lays flat against skin without irritation. One of the few bras I forgot I was wearing all day long and not in a rush to exit. Kathy from Hicksville, NY

Outstanding, even the back is beautifully designed with smooth heavy duty hooks but a light lacy look and firm ribbon. The front is delicate looking but extremely supportive and well-balanced. Chantelle bands are sometimes too tight. this one is definitely snug but never uncomfortable. It has given my Fantasie molded, unlined basic bra some real competition. dd

This is a very comfortable and pretty bra. My only reservation is that the cups are just a tiny bit too small. I would have returned it for a bigger cup size, but H was the biggest available. I'll just have to think about it. In the past before Her Room, I would have been perfectly satisfied with a bra that wasn't perfect perfect, but Her Room has spoiled me with their wonderful bras. cr from utah

Love this bra - my favorite Chantelle to date - and this is the only brand I have worn for years. Great support, fits true to size, very comfortable and also pretty with matching panty. Victoria from Hamden, CT

I have always had a problem finding a bra that fit-finding one that was also pretty seemed out of the question. I recently ordered this bra and I am thrilled with the fit, I actually have cleavage instead of being all mushed together. It is giving great support and pushing me to the front so I don't look as wide (you notice my waist)- looking thinner is my only goal in life. I don't feel my breasts under my arms for the first time ever. I am about 5 feet tall and I wear a 36H so I also love the fully adjustable straps. I absolutely adore this bra - it is my long lost soul mate Lisa from lyndhurst NJ
