This bra fits me perfectly thru the cups just beware that even the 34F has only two hooks in the back & the straps are stretchy - it is a beautiful bra Charlotte from Porterville CA USA

Good shaping under knitwear. Nice plain smooth cups show no pattern or seaming through light fabrics, though you may want nipple covers. caroli from ohio

While comfortable and pretty, the cups are way too thin for me. Totally can see nipples through shirts. It's going back. (I have two other Chantelle bras I love - one 20 years old -- but this model is not for me). Sassy from California

the "molded" bra idea was confusing to me as I'm always trying to get a smooth look with no nippage. They are not as thick as I would have preferred but they fit well and are a pretty bra. Just wanted a change from my regular T shirt bras which are so boring. This one filled the bill......almost! Carol from Anacortes WA USA

OMG! I have never wanted to buy a bigger bra because I was sure it still would not fit. I have been wearing 34D for years then I went to 34DD 2 yrs ago, BUT i still felt not comfortable. It would ride up, spillage on top and sides, so I accepted this. So last month I decided to try a different size. I ordered this bra in size 32DDD (32F is the same). OMG! As soon as I put it on it felt as if I was not wearing a bra. The cups alone held the breasts up! NOW the straps don't dig at all on my shoulders. The deep indentations there may eventually go away now since there is no pressure at all. I'm getting rid of ALL my bras except these two. Will order more. Willigirl from Sarasota, FL

I thought this Chantelle would be great. I already had one that looked a lot like it (also in my D3 size. But this one would get weird vertical ripples across the center top of the cup, when I leaned forward (visible under t-shirts). I attribute it to the fact is is a minimizer, but my posture is not perfect enough to NEVER lean forward.

I'm a Chantelle bra wearer for over 10 years and had never tried this one before. It is fantastic!! Keeps the girls up where I like them and provides a lot of support. I bartend in this bra and it's super comfortable and moves with me. I got a size down in the band due to others comments and it fits well, but I could go up to my regular band size. Sometimes I can feel the hooks jabbing me when it's on the furthest hook, so maybe just get your regular size and put it on the middle hook option, though I know that's not the recommendation. I really do love this bra. I'm more wide set than deep set and it's hard to find a good fit in a bra, Chantelle always takes care of me. Kim from Eden Prairie, MN

Best bra I've worn in my entire life of 40 years. You should not see any seam under your blouse. The Hedona is a full coverage, opaque bra but does not feel constricting or stifling at all. It breathes well. I feel FREE in this bra and it looks gorgeous. Hedonalover from NY

This is a great bra for someone who is larger and HATES the large back bands - somehow they have engineered this bra to be comfortable without that 4 prong nightmare on your back. Also, it gives you side support without digging into you. I have been wearing this for years and highly recommend it! Tonig from Cliff Park, NJ

Buyer beware! The sizing on this bra is inconsistent. I ordered the salmon color and when I tried it on it was tighter than other bras that are the identical brand and style. The band was at least 1/2 inch shorter on both ends when placed on top of the other bras.

Chantelle Response: Hi Kathy. I am sorry for your frustration. It its true that different dyes can affect the feel of any garment on the body and you may especially notice a difference in this new, more snug product, than your favorite worn in bra. Also keep in mind that there are hand made elements to our products which can cause small discrepancies from unit to unit. Our bodies also change size and shape over time so this may simply not be the best or most comfortable bra for you anymore. If you are looking for a bra with a more comfortable fit we suggest trying the "Chantelle C Magnifique Seamless Unlined Minimizer Bra (Style 1891). The C Magnifique Seamless Unlined Minimizer has added comfort elements, such as padded underwires, and also comes in fun colors. Kathy from GA

The bra isn't as comfortable as the usual Chantelle bra. The cups are a little high and a little see through. Love the color (pink).

Chantelle Response: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. If you are looking for comfort and a little less coverage we recommend trying the Chantelle Aeria Light Spacer Mesh Bra (Style 1291). This style feels light as air on the body and the spacer foam pad will provide some modesty. Another great option is "Chantelle C Magnifique Molded Minimizer Underwire Bra (Style 1891)". The silky soft cups are double lined giving the bust a great lift and shape while providing modesty, and its now available in the Pink! M from New York, NY

Love this bra! This is my fifth one! It's easy to pack since it doesn't have foam cups. It allows me to wear button down blouses without gaping. Under a tee shirt there can be nipples poking out, but that's not a big issue for me. I just wish the bras were a little cheaper! Cindy from Albany, New York

Does not run true to size but is extremely comfortable: I bought this at a specialist lingerie store on the advice of the fitter. In most other brands I'm a 34H/34ff (D5), but in this bra I'm a 36 F (D4). It is Really Comfortable with that barely there feeling that great bras have.

Note - the construction of this bra seems to have changed slightly .....in replacing 36E bras, I've noted that the back band is wider than previous same-sized versions of this bra and the straps are slightly wider. The cups also seem a tad smaller - more than I would expect in comparison due to stretching of old bra alone. M (pending 12-27-2013) from Philadelphia

This is a very pretty, basic t-shirt bra. I find it difficult to get the best fit with this brand (Chantelle) vs my usual go to bra (Wacoal). The 36DDD fits me on the tightest hook and still may be a bit too big. I may just need more support than this bra offers. Maggie (pending 12-27-2013) from Chicago, IL

I keep wishing this bra would fit me - but I have given up. I have tried a variety of sizes and all I can say is that while its a well-made nice looking bra, it just doesn't suit my body.

I really like this bra. It's comfortable and very supportive. I was a little shocked at the lack of padding. In my mind, molded = padded--wrong! The material is very sturdy but thin, to the point that my nipples show through when I wear a tight thin t-shirt--not the color, just the bumps. Still, I don't mind wearing it for everyday because it is comfortable and pretty. Kara from Okinawa, Japan

I have purchased a few Prima Donna Satin Seamless underwire bras in the past, so I was curious when I saw that the Hedona is supposed to be a similar fitting bra. And I decided to give it a shot, considering it is much less expensive than the Prima Donna. In comparison, I do prefer the Prima Donna. I find the fabric of the Hedona to not be as soft or as thick as the PD bra. I also find the Hedona to give a bit of a cone look in the bust. That said, I also purchased the Chantelle C Magnifique Molded minimizer bra, and I LOVE it more than the Prima Donna. Less expensive, even more comfortable and don't slip off my shoulders as much as the PD did. R from Vancouver, Canada

This is a nice bra. It's pretty and comfortable, but I decided to return it. It has molded cups and I really need a 3 part cup for my breast shape to get good lift. Also, the material was very stretchy and I was concerned how long the bra would last before getting stretched out. Melanie from Knoxville, TN

I tried this on at a specialty lingerie store and was amazed at how well it fit and what an incredible shape it created. The bra I received after ordering it online was not at all like the one I tried on for some reason. It was labeled as a 38C, which is what I had tried previously, but it didn't fit like it did before. The cups were too big and it did not look good on at all. I returned it for another Chantelle bra.

This is a very supportive bra--not much give. Had to size up to 36. I have purchased this bra for years. They seem to fit differently now than my older Hedonas.

I tried this brand for the first time. I should have stuck with my favorite Le Mystere. This bra did not fit me right in anyway. I will have to return it and select another of my favorite brand. I thought these cups were molded and did nothing for providing me good shape. The Chantelle may be perfect for some types, but not for me.

This bra fits just OK. What I really don't like about it is after it was washed a couple of times the underwires kinda "squeaked" when I moved. Weird. I found a bra that I LOVE in a different brand.

Chantelle Response: Depending on how the bra was washed damage can occur. Hand washing is always recommended for bras. Machine washing can damage the underwire which can result in wire poke through or issues with the fit even on a delicate setting. Carol from NHMO

I love these bras. I moved from New York recently and they had my records. They were so helpful and referred me to you site. The gave me my size. I had a larger size before I lost weight in 2009. I needed those larger ones because I'm in the process of losing again and wanted to get the correct sizes. I ordered from you and had to return two bras that were a little big in the cup but not the back. I kept the other one and will definitely reccomend your site to all of my friends. You are very professional and took great care to meet my needs. Thank you for an excellent experience. Rachel Rachel from North Ft. Myers, FL USA

Bought two of this bra- the khaki color and nude. Love the khaki color! Here's the pros n cons- loved the way the band fits, love the extra support on the side (boning) and the prettiness of it. When I get cold, headlights big time. The top of the cup seam doesn't have much give, and when my arms are down the fit is nice. But after moving around, lifting items etc... I get the dreaded double boob, las my breast tissue doesn't always just fit back in. It is not too small, just wish the cups had a little more give. It could also be the cut of the cup top. I kept one and returned the other. I am giving Chantelle 3781 Sexy Shaping Full Coverage T-Shirt Bra a try in 36F. I'll report back. I do love the way Chantelle cups are more to the front of the body. I tried Elomi and loved the quality but my girls were under my arms. Chantelle is quality and I am happy to experiment until I find my perfect bra! shelikescats from fresno ca

I thought this might be the perfect replacement for my favorite bra - a Wacoal which has been discontinued - but alas, the 34E was too small, the 34F was too big. It was a nice bra- but just didn't fit me comfortably.

Chantelle Response: The 2031 Hedona from Chantelle has a non-stretch cup which offers great support and shaping. Sizing between bra companies does vary, however more importantly the forgiveness or strech in the cup does effect the fit. The Hedona 2031 has a non-stretch cup which could explain why it fit differently than your favorite bra. We would suggest trying the Chantelle Pure seamless molded bra 3612. This style offers full coverage and will fit differently than 2031. Arielle from Lenox, Ma USA

I have used 10-12 of these bras and I love them! The fit and the way they look under your clothing is outstanding. They actually make my bust look great and not gigantic (that's what my grown children say the G stands for), and no back fat! The only complaint I have is that the underwire pokes through, sometimes when they are relatively new. However, I love them so I keep buying them. Judy from TX

This bra is supportive and pretty. I just expected it to be made out of a thicker material or to have some sort of padding considering that it's called "Molded." I'm surprised by how much support it has considering the look and feel of the bra, but it's not my favorite. It doesn't do much for shape, and let's just say that it wouldn't provide much coverage on a nippy day. EPW from Atlanta, GA, USA

This bra fits and feels like a minimizer. The cups are very shallow allowing for side spilage and a fair amount of compression. If you are looking for a minimizer this would be a fine choice. Also Chantelle cup sizes seem to run a little narrow so I would say to go up a cup size. Diana from Farmington,NY,USA

I did not care for the fit of this bra on me. It was uncomfortable in the armpit area. It goes up a little higher than the bras that I have already and it just didn't work for me. Also, the lace was rough and rubbing my skin and it was not comfortable.

I read the reviews before purchasing this bra and am somewhat concerned with the comments regarding the underwires poking through the fabric. I have not owned mine long enough to tell if this is true. I do however love what I have experienced thus far. The bra has a good fit and is very comfortable which is very important to me. I do have one problem and that is this. You would think that for a larger/fuller sized bra there would be a wider, perhaps three hook closure. In this bra it is a two hook closure and I don't feel I am getting the same back and side support as I am getting front support or for that matter as I get with other style bras. That having been said, I would and have purchased this bra again. Sara from Massena, NY, USA

I first bought this bra 3 years ago and loved it. Now I have bought several more, and couldn't live without it. It is seamless so it doesn't show under Tees, the underwire is comfortable, and it fits me perfectly. It is a bit higher under the arms than I would like, but that's necessary for perfect support.

I had them within a week and they came all wrapped up like someone took time with my order and not just a machine!!! They fit perfectly and I will be using HerRoom again. The bra itself is very comfortable and you cannot see it through your shirt. I like that I can put it on and not worry about how it will look under my shirts. The only problem is if you where something low cut or very square...you will be able to see it! Other than that...it's great!!!! Whitney from Griffin, Ga

Three-and-a-half stars. Not my favorite since it tends to squash me down from the top and push my breasts toward my armpits. This second effect isn't drastic, though, and I find that it happens with most seamless full-cup bras. I do keep a couple Hedonas in my drawer because with some clothes, she works better than my other bras that push me up and forward. Hedona also makes me look a bit smaller, again more appropriate for certain tops, probably because she doesn't try for maximum projection. I think this is a good bra to have in your collection and one that you might find yourself wearing often because it is fairly comfortable. It is also affordable as Chantelle goes.

My size is 34DDDD in Chantelle. This bra is wonderful. It is supportive, doesn't make me look like I am wearing a 34DDDD, provides significant modesty except over the thinnest of material.

The correct size made all the difference! Mary from New York

This is the best fitting bra I've ever worn. I only give it 4 stars though because this is the third Hedona bra I've owned where the underwire poked through the top.

I love these bras, and wear them almost exclusively. Have no problems with the wire poking out. However, I do feel that they stretch out very easily with just a bit of wear- and I ALWAYS hang them, and never put in dryer. Put it on in the morning, and it feels bigger by late afternoon- not the cups, but the band. carmen from atlanta

• Posted: August, 2007

Loved the fit of this bra, and it did fit snugly, but I had the same problem as did many other reviewers. The underwires poked through in a very short time. I never dry my bras in the dryer, so the cause should not have been because the underwire casing had shrunk. I can only surmise that it's due to the manufacturer not sewing enough stitches to close the casing channel. When a bra costs more than $60, alterations should not be necessary. I hesitate to purchase this style again because of the underwire issue, hopefully the manufacturer will take notice and correct the problem.

HerRoom Response: We have passed your comment on to Chantelle.

Chantelle Response: We at Chantelle identified a construction issue with some of our Hedona 2031 bras from lot 709. If your wires are poking through, please look on the back of your inside tag. If you see 709, please call us at 212-689-4735 Ext. 5120. As always, we at Chantelle strive to provide outstanding products and customer satisfaction. Thank you. Chris from Delafield, WI, USA

I'm a 32f in fantasie, 32ddd in wacoal and apparently a 32f in chantelle, but the center front pops out at the top and the sides are really high, high enough to chafe at the juncture of the pectoral and the arm.

HerRoom Response: Your symptom on the underwires popping forward is a sign that you probably need to go up a cup size. If your sides are too high, our guess is that you are short in stature. This is not the bra for you. Consider a demi cup bra which has shorter underwires and will fit you more comfortably.

I've purchased this bra many times. I always hand wash and air dry all my bras and NEVER have the underwires poked through. While it is true that there is not as much lift or "perkiness" that is likely due to the fact that it is a minimizing bra. If I have a button up shirt that is pulling in the front with a non-minimizer bra, I can switch to this one and the shirt lays flat. Fabulous from New Haven, CT

I thought it was just my underwire that poked through after washing it in a lingerie bag on the gentle cycle! I thought I sewed back in correctly, and the entire underwire came out!!I bought this bra in a fine lingerie store & was professionally measured by the propritor who picked this bra out for my figure!! I love wearing the bra, I will try buying it again, but I think the manufacturer should really look into this problem,this just is not a one time incident!!

HerRoom Response: It is very important that bras not be put in the dryer. The casing covering the underwire can shrink and cause the underwire to poke out.

I purchased this bra a few years ago at a department store. Of all the many "minimizer" bras I have tried this is the best. Yes, the underwires have poked through the casings (eventually), and the side stay has poked through also. I do dry my bras in the dryer (although I know better), so maybe that caused the casing to shrink and the poking to happen. I have stitched (and re-stitched) the casing closed at the top and carried on! My experience has been that whenever I find a bra I like and that "works", its been discontinued the next time I shop for it. I was so happy to find this bra online!

HerRoom Response: You are absolutely correct. When you put a bra in the dryer, it will usually shrink the casing around the wire and thus cause the wire to eventually poke through.

This started out as a good bra, but a few months after I bought it, the underwire poked through on both sides. Now, I am VERY unhappy with it. A bra that costs almost $60 should hold up a little better. I was "professionally" fitted for this bra at a local lingerie store, so the fit is most likely correct.

HerRoom Response: When wires poke through, this is usually associated with a few issues. The first is that this bra may have been put in the dryer with heat. The casing that covers the wires is usually cotton. The heat shrinks the casing and causes the wire to push though the fabric. The second issue could be your band is too loose. When a band is too loose, it moves about the body. This movement wears down the wire casing and can cause the wire to poke through. A third issue might be that the manufacturer simply did not sew enough stitches to close the casing channel. If this is the case, a quick alteration will fix this bra.

I had high hopes for this bra -- wide stretchy-but-firm band, side supports kept the band from rolling and my breasts out of my armpits, underwires lay flat against my chest, no need to constantly rearrange myself, non-bouncy cups. AND it's pretty without being flashy. Sadly, I only wore it about a dozen times before one of the underwires poked through into my chest. The bulldog clip I've used to repair (keep the underwire from poking out) is unsatisfactorily scratchy. I don't think Super Glue would last long.

HerRoom Response: Generally, when wires begin to poke out it is because the band is not snug enough and allows the bra to mover around on one's body. This movement eventually causes the wire to poke through. Catherine's comment suggests that the band is fitting snuggly, however we would suggest Catherine go down a band size and up a cup size (to a 40E). This should stop the problem with the wire poking through.

This is an absolutely great bra! I have a relatively narrow back compared to my breast size and it's extremely difficult to find bras my size that give such a beautiful and natural shape. This one really does it! The only problem - and it is a small one - is that with continued wear the underwires do poke through eventually. It would be nice if Chantelle could fix this, however I have never found a bra in the larger cup sizes where the wires don't eventually poke through after a year or so of daily wear (could it be the weight of the breasts perhaps?), so perhaps this is just a natural occurrence with the larger cup sizes. (HerRoom Response: Manufacturers have told us that if a customer is having problems with the wire poking through, it COULD be because the cup size is too small - the breast is wider and fuller than the wire thus causing it to eventually poke out.)

This bra is the best I've worn so far. It fits absolutely perfect. Keeps everything in place. I'm small breasted, but, it gives me such a great shape without wearing a padded bra and it looks great under sweaters. Glad from Petersburg, Ontario, Canada

A great support bra. But with time, the underwires poke out of the sides. A defect that should be fixed by Chantelle.

HerRoom Response: This result can also be caused by purchasing a bra that is too small in the cups. Perhaps you need a larger cup size.

The bra is of excellent quality and holds shape over time. I have several in this particular style and they fit well under most of my garments. Susanne from Newport, RI, USA

This bra is like getting plastic surgery. When I put it on, I was up 2 inches above the mark from my previous bra. My clothes hang much better also. I am so glad I bought it! Mary from new york, ny usa

I am so grateful that HerRoom convinced Chantelle to issue this bra in a G cup. It is truly supportive and figure flattering, unlike the few "T-shirt" bras available in seamless G cup. This bra is smooth with little nipple show-through, making this ideal for wearing under silky blouses and sweaters. I agree with another reviewer's request for a 3-row hook closure, but it is not a showstopper. This is an everyday bra. Grateful G from Oakland, CA, USA

This bra holds everything in and does wonders for your shape and posture. Most bras out there don't have sides high enough under your armpits to hold things in place...this one does. I would like to see a 3rd hook & eye added though. The back band could be widened...at least for 38D's and above. M. Berl from Newark, DE
