Love love love this bra. Got it in black to wear with a strappy dress for a wedding (I took a risk because it was not returnable), and liked it so much I couldn't resist the beautiful blue so I bought that one too. I'm very hard to fit and comfort is a BIG issue and hard to find in a bra. This one works better than any I've tried (and I've tried a LOT). Hope this is not being discontinued.

Beautiful blue fabric, feels great, true to size fit with excellent coverage. The padding isn't so hard as some other bras. My highest recommendation is that you don't even know it's on! Mary from NH

Perfect fit and really nice bra, but the band was really scratchy. Not dorable. Emily

The band was tight & too high under arm. Cup was a bit small. I had to return. Service was good and I'm sure I'll try again.

Chantelle Response: We suggest trying Chantelle's new C Essential Full Coverage T-Shirt Bra 3816. This style offers a similar cup to 3616 with a power mesh band for better support. If you want to try a seamless molded bra, look at the new C Magnifique Molded Underwire Bra 1891. LindaSue from Little Rock

Huzzah for full coverage, not industrial strength t-shirt bras! Love these bras for being practical, well made, cross-back optional, and minimal lines (super snug t-shirts though, beware as the edges of the cups may show). I have 4 of these, and they are great to wear every single day for everything. Couple issues though- the elastic straps are not extremely elastic, so they sometimes slip around, especially if they are a bit too loose. Also, they start rather snug and stiff. The bras stretch a lot to mould to your shape, but there is a break-in period. That said- I would totally buy more! ACL from MA

Love the smooth look and feel of this bra. The band size runs a bit big, just like the old version, I could have used a 28. I have very pale skin and the nude color worked great for me. The comfort, color, and fit are the main reasons I kept the bra but would be much happier with a smaller band size hence the 3 stars. Smaller band would have equaled 5 stars.

Chantelle Response: We would suggest trying Chantelle C Chic Sexy 3585 Spacer T-Shirt bra in 30F which comes in the same Ultra Nude color as 3616. Natasha from Western, USA

T-shirt wearing was tough for me. The "headlights" were a problem. No more! I love the smooth fit of this bra....i look slimmer. Submitted from TheUndies.com

I love, love this Chantelle bra--the fit's perfect, and it does deliver full coverage in a lighter weight construction. I have broad shoulders and rib cage, and often bra cups are spaced too close together to fit properly; this bra's design is ideal for someone with a build like mine. It's also extremely comfortable--I don't feel "engineered" wearing it! Nancy from California

This bra was similar to another one I purchased. I am very pleased with both purchases. My items arrived in record time, too. Thank you! D. Mellon from Francesville, IN USA

Though Chantelle doesn't specialize in small frames with large cups, this bra has an amazing fit for it. I found the underwires are short enough to allow for my very petite (5'0") frame even on a larger cup. The center gore sat perfectly on my ribcage, and did not have the excessive width of a bra graded poorly for smaller bands (I have a little under an inch of separation, but have run into things that go as far as to double that). One thing that HerRoom does not mention is that the straps have ribbing that grips the adjusters. This is a lifesaver if the weight of your breasts or shoulder movement tends to pull at them throughout the day, as I'm used to. The center placement, while not especially sexy, keeps the strap in place even on my very narrow, very sloping shoulders. However, the cups point outwards a little too much for my liking and the band feels a touch loose, so I'm debating trying a 30G, since I have around a 27.5"(smallest) or 28.5"(relaxed) underbust measurement that leaves my band size to question. Assuming I'm in the wrong size, I only have two complaints, due to my cup size: I really feel that anything over a D deserves a three-hook closure here, since this is a simple bra that's meant to look pretty underneath your clothing. I also felt the band should not be so elastic. This bra is the most comfortable one I've ever put on, but it would be more comfortable with the support of a firmer band than the extra 'give', and would be more durable as well. Jenn from USA

The straps are too long and cannot be adjusted properly and straps should be non-stretch! Cup is a good fit and the availability of a size 30 band is a lifesaver. Krista from Lexington Park, MD

I have a hard time finding t-shirt bras that fit right..either they gape or they bulge at the top of the cups (too loose or too tight). I have shallowness at the top of my breasts and am an average fullness B cup. This bra fits perfectly, no visible bulges or ridges and it is soft on the skin. The support is very good, provides perfect separation and the shaping is natural. I will note here that I wear a 36B in all my non t-shirt style Chantelle's (Tamaris, C-Chic 3 part cup, Vintage 3 part cup, Cachemire 3 part cup) but had to go up to a C cup in this style & also in my Chantelle Senso t-shirt bra...so it's something to do with the lined/molded cup of the t-shirt style on me that makes for the difference. The B's in these styles cut into the top of my breast. A HerRoom rep told me the t-shirt bras run true to size as do my other Chantelles, but they don't on me. The Pure and Senso Chantelles are the only t-shirt bras and C cups I own across all brands. The C cup on this bra is slightly roomy, but it lays perfectly flat against my skin and is invisible under clothes. It's a great bra, I own two. Jean from Usa

I've tried a lot of bras and this is one of the few bras that felt comfortable 'out of the box.' Feels great to have a bra that fits without the underwire poking me under the arms. The straps don't fall down (yay!), and there's no scratchy lace, just soft and smooth, cool, and very comfy. I'm very happy with this bra. Susan from Annandale VA

This is now my absolute favorite T-Shirt bra. It is comfortable & looks great. I like the materials used there is fabric on the band that smooths the lines under clothes. Nice in hot weather too! Brooke from Davis, CA
