Norah Graphic Lace Full-Coverage Bra
Norah Graphic Lace Full-Coverage Bra is a full-coverage underwire bra with soft stretch nylon-blend lace and molded foam cups, offering moderate support for everyday wear. It features adjustable thin straps, a two-hook back closure, and a graphic lace pattern with a center charm. Reviews note that Chantelle uses straight letter sizing (A-F, no double letters) and the fit has wide wires, so sizing may differ from US standard bras.

Product Insights
The Chantelle Norah Graphic Lace Full-Coverage Bra (125 CAD) delivers a smooth, concealed silhouette with its foam-lined, moisture-wicking cups and flat lace overlay that resists show-through under clingy tops. Its wide wires provide excellent support for broad chests and are often praised for all-day comfort, but can irritate narrower frames. The main tradeoff is the lack of immediate projection, causing bottom wrinkling and sliding on projected breasts, which limits its fit for that shape. Size availability is restricted to bands 34–38 and cups B–DD, with a conversion nuance versus US sizing.

Deep Research
Lace texture and show-through under tops
- The lace overlay is a 77% polyamide / 23% spandex blend, which gives it strong elasticity so it conforms closely to the moulded foam cups without puckering — the give in the lace reduces the ridge lines that can telegraph through thin knits.
- The lace is specifically described as 'graphic print lace,' a style that typically produces a flatter, printed effect rather than a heavily raised woven texture — this design approach adds surface interest while keeping the cup profile smooth enough to avoid obvious imprints under close‑fit tops.
Price and value vs similar bras
- The Norah Graphic Lace is designed as part of a set with a matching panty (sold separately), turning it into a coordinated lingerie look rather than just a utility bra — a small but meaningful detail for those who appreciate a complete ensemble.
- While the Natori Feathers ($46–$76) relies on a plain mesh outer cover and a deep-plunge silhouette, the Norah Graphic Lace at $88 uses graphic lace over foam cups and offers full-coverage, making it the more substantial, design-forward choice for those who want lace detailing without sacrificing coverage.
Foam cup breathability and shape retention
- Chantelle describes the foam as ‘delicate’, signalling a thin, lightweight padding that flexes with the body and adds only a whisper of coverage, avoiding the stiffness and bulk often associated with padded bras while still providing the smoothing and concealment of a t-shirt style.
- With a cup lining fabricated entirely from 100% polyester, the bra harnesses polyester’s inherent resistance to creasing and its ability to wick moisture away from the skin, keeping the cup shape crisp and the wearer dry over the course of a long day.
What makes this Norah different from other Norah bras
- The foam-lined cups (100% polyester molding) give the Graphic Lace nipple coverage and a smooth bust profile that the unlined Norah lace bras lack, suiting it for wear under clingy knits where an unlined lace bra would show texture and skin tone.
- A Chantelle retailer post reveals that Norah unlined lace bras are offered in back-close underwire, front-close underwire, and non-wired styles — the Graphic Lace version departs from those by lining its cups with polyester foam, trading total seamlessness for the shape and modesty of a T-shirt bra while keeping the lace exterior.
Detailed fit measurements and wire width
- A fit review for the 65F reports 'wrinkles & flat spot at bottom of cups' and the bra sliding down, attributing it to being 'too shallow' — a sign that the Norah's cup shape lacks immediate projection at the wire, a pitfall for those with bottom-heavy or omega-shaped breasts regardless of size.

Q&A
7 answered- Is the bra designed for shallow or projected breast shapes?
- The Norah is designed for average to slightly projected breast shapes. It is less shallow than the Natori Feathers, which is known for very shallow cups, based on community comparisons [1].
- How does the graphic lace hold up over time, especially with frequent washing?
- The lace is a blend of polyamide and spandex, which is durable, but with frequent washing, hand washing in cold water with mild detergent and air drying is recommended to maintain its shape and prevent fraying. Machine washing in a lingerie bag on delicate cycle is acceptable but may reduce longevity.
- What are the recommended care instructions—hand wash only or is machine washing in a lingerie bag acceptable?
- We recommend hand washing in cold water with a gentle detergent. Machine washing in a lingerie bag on a delicate cycle is acceptable, but hand washing is best to extend the life of the bra.
- Is the coverage more like a plunge or a full-coverage bra, given the title says 'full-coverage' but the category is 'plunge'?
- The bra is categorized as a plunge style in our system, but the 'full-coverage' in the name reflects that it offers more coverage than a typical plunge bra. It provides moderate coverage — not as high as a traditional full-coverage bra, but more than a standard plunge.
- What sizing system does Chantelle use?
- Chantelle uses straight letter sizing A-F with no doubles, and sizing can vary by country.
- Does the Norah have wide wires?
- Yes, the Norah has very wide wires compared to Polish bras.
- Does it come in larger cup sizes?
- Sizes are limited; e.g., the 42 band only goes up to E cup.

Chantelle uses straight letter sizing A-F with no doubles
Chantelle actually has an expansive range of bras, they just don't carry all of them at most retailers. And they also use straight letters - so A B C D E F and no doubles, so you might want to double check not only the size you tried but also what the size up would be.

Chantelle Norah has very wide wires compared to narrow Polish bras
The Norah is the opposite - it has very wide wires by comparison. I think you might need to keep this in mind, because if it's fitting you without wrecking your armpits or ribs, you don't need narrow wires.

Chantelle Norah comfort is popular for gynecomastia but lacks larger cup sizes
This is a really nice bra, I’ve worn it a lot. I’m male, but I have significant breast tissue (gynecomastia) and this bra is popular with men that have that issue. I just wish it came in a bigger cup in the 42 band, it only goes up to a 42E and I really need it in an F or G cup ideally.

Chantelle Norah Chic plunge is similar to Natori Feathers but less shallow
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.
