Norah Lace Full-Coverage Bra
The Norah Lace Full-Coverage Bra is a women's underwire bra from Chantelle, made from a soft, stretch nylon blend that combines microfibre, tulle, and floral lace. It features soft, unpadded cups for a natural shape, adjustable straps, and a two-hook back closure, providing moderate support and designed for full coverage, suitable for larger busts. Key materials include polyamide, spandex, and polyester; user reviews indicate the band may run stretchy, so some customers recommend sizing down.

Product Insights
The Chantelle Norah Lace Full-Coverage Bra, priced at 122 CAD, is a comfort-first design from Paris atelier, featuring a shallow cup and generous band that requires sizing down one band and up one cup (US cup wearers need one cup size up due to EU letter sizing). Its pliable underwire, cushioned closure, non-dig straps, and tall back band eliminate pressure, while stretch lace and adaptive materials prevent chafing and lie flat under tight tops without show-through. The main tradeoff: best for shallow or mature breasts—those with projected or full-on-top breasts should consider Fantasie, and the cup is not suited for full or close-set breasts. Hand-wash below 86°F and air-dry to preserve elastane.

Love this Bra
My favourite bra. I like a bra that doesn’t add padding. They are pretty and feminine with the lace and a silking fabric throughout the side and back
Comfy
This is a comfortable bra and I like the material. My main complies the size chart measurements not matching the size recommended. I took my measurements and it took me ordering 4 different sizes before getting the right fit. Such a pain!

Former fit specialist praises Norah comfort and support
As a former fit specialist, I LOVE Chantell and especially their new Nora bras! Without a doubt the most comfortable bra I've ever had! The have it withot underwire too and the comfort and support are something I've haven't had until now😊 Go to Dillard's wherever you live and have them fit you.

User prefers Chantelle Norah Plunge for lace and comfort
This is my second favorite bra. My favorite is the Chantelle Norah plunge. It has that lace so a bit sexier, and I honestly find it more comfortable than the comfort version even.
u/AppleChiffonr/ABraThatFitsView thread →
Smooth Norah versions suggested as starting point
Chantelle has smooth versions of the Norah like the Chic Comfort or Comfort Smooth. I would start there for sure.

Fit advice: Norah 36DD best, try Chic plunge
The Norah 36DD is the best fit here. You could try the Norah Chic plunge as it's similar to the Feathers but less shallow. I think you need low gores due to being more close set.

Alternatives to Norah: Fantasie for projection, Glamourise Lace Comfort
I would explore Fantasie as a brand, they're probably the closest to Chantelle with more projection. Chantelle also has some unlined, seamed styles that have more (Rive Gauche as an example), but you're almost sized out of their range. The Glamourise Lace Comfort may also be an option. They're US sizing but tend to run big, so while they cap at an I cup (UK G), you might want to start in 1 and 2 cups down.
