Comfort Emerges Anew ~ Chantelle Lingerie

September 8, 2021

Chantelle Norah Spacer Bra as featured on Lingerie Briefs

August was a transition month for me. I attended live shows in NYC and LA. I went to showrooms. I put on clothes that haven’t seen the light of day for 18 months. That included bras, specifically underwire bras which, despite the advance in wire free options, make me feel more secure in public. Feeling secure and comfortable are the same thing to me. I do not think I am alone. Even though underwire bras might contradict the cultural zeitgeist that inspired the bralette and wire-free surge, there is absolutely a hybrid bra trend emerging: easy, malleable underwire styles that do not constrain but contain.… Read More

Chantelle’s Day to Night Collection Brings Sexy Back

April 8, 2021

Chantelle Day to Night Collection plunge bra as featured on Lingerie Briefs

It sounds like Justin Timberlake’s 2007 platinum hit song, but bringing “Sexy Back” into our lingerie wardrobes is a definite trend and Chantelle Lingerie has done just that with their new Day to Night Collection. Without sacrificing the demand for comfort, they have created a modern interpretation of their tried-and-true silhouettes by combining comfortable yet supportive fit with their French fashion DNA. Utilizing the construction elements for which the brand is known, combined with a soft, light, flat floral stretch lace, these styles feel weightless on the body.… Read More

Chantelle Launches C Comfort ~ The Pajama Bra

Chantelle LinC Comfort full cup bra as featured on Lingerie Briefs

The Pajama Bra: that is what Chantelle’s new C Comfort full cup molded bra has been called. A colleague of mine told me that she was wear testing the style and literary forgot to take it off before going to bed. It’s pretty incredible that an underwire bra fitting 32-44, C-I cups can provide wire free comfort. The combination of a super soft fabric with enough stretch to accommodate a full bust and the tall side band that eliminates digging in is the technical secret.… Read More

Chantelle Continues Its Soft Stretch Trajectory With Color Coordination

Chantelle Soft Stretch one size plus crop top and brief as featured on Lingerie Briefs

I have never been a matchy-matchy type of girl. Long before eclectic detail surfaced in the fashion theater, I didn’t obey the rules. In fact, the highlight of my first buying job interview with the venerable merchandising icon, Mickey Drexler (subsequently my boss) was his query into why I was wearing Frye boots with a Kenzo tunic, not a common eccentricity in 1976. So, you might imagine, and you would be correct, that matching my panties to my bras never really crossed my mind.… Read More

Chantelle’s Norah Molded Bra Is a Home Run!

Chantelle Norah Underwire molded t-shirt bra as featured on Lingerie Briefs

Here’s what I admire about the Chantelle brand: they understand the American consumer. As a 140-year-old French corsetry company, shifting gears from the brand’s signature elegance to our culture’s obsession with functionality could have been a huge obstacle.  Instead, they successfully merged elegance with practicality, resulting in an array of beautifully executed styles that are fashionable as well as practical. And, they get the sizing issue, the fact that there is an extraordinarily large number of well-endowed women on this continent. That is why the feedback on Chantelle’s new Norah collection caught my attention.… Read More
