Product Insights
Chantelle's Norah Floral Spacer Full-Coverage Bra combines 1/16-inch spacer foam that is breathable, resilient, and OEKO-TEX certified with seamless lace overlay for complete invisibility under T-shirts, delivering a supportive T-shirt bra with a J-hook racerback, side panels, and slings for B to DD cups. At $129 CAD, 47% above a Wacoal counterpart, it gains OEKO-TEX safety and racerback functionality, but the underwire gore may cause discomfort, and the Dusky Pink variant places floral lace on the back band rather than the cups.
