Love Chantelle? You'll Love Its Convertible Addition

Chantelle's signature logo is elegant and classy and you can see it overlaid on today's addition: the Chantelle C-Chic Sexy. Another stunning bra in curacao, this one contains the unique design features of a softly contoured design and pleats on the straps. Also note the striking jeweled detail and fabric tie at the breastbone.

The C-Chic Sexy by Chantelle is twice as useful as your standard bra as you can wear a racer back and still hide those straps. The C-Chic Sexy allows for an optional strap crossover in the back. Our clients love this convertible feature -- it's an investment that's two bras in one!

Chantelle's C-Chic Sexy is available in sizes 32-38, cups B-E. We are also carrying the matching briefs (S-XL) so make sure to also check those out to complete the look. 

Blue Curaçao Bra By Chantelle

Our clients are often looking for everyday wear -- with a twist, because a modern woman doesn't just expect a bra to fit well, it also has to look great too. And today we're pleased to add another edition to our t-shirt bra (an everyday essential) lineup: the Illusion demi t-shirt bra in blue curaço by Chantelle.

Just like the hot, tropical island the colour is named for, this bra offers a Caribbean hue with but with a geometric aesthetic. In fact, this new Chantelle bra was inspired by the art deco Crysler building in New York city.

The Illusion by Chantelle is a lightly-padded, low-cut bra that gives a seamless look under clothes thanks to the flat lace overlay. The picot trim detail at the top of the cups and the center front bow and charm give this piece a distinctly feminine feel.

Find Chantelle's Illusion in blue curaço in sizes 34-40, C-F cup. Bottoms with a matching design and semi-transparent sides are also available.

New Chantelle -- Support Without Sacrificing Style

Okay, we know, not a lot of people are going to be seeing your underthings and making fashion assessments but, still, style for ourselves really matters. It isn't about what others think of us, after all, but how we feel about ourselves that matters and stylish underwear can give a lift to our moods many-a-day.

And fashion meets function in many of our pieces. You should never have to sacrifice style for a beautiful silhouette, or visa versa. And this is where Chantelle's new Barocco steps in. This bra is incredibly stylish, with tone-on-tone embroidery, but also supportive and flattering to a woman's figure.

We love that the Barocco by Chantelle gives a minimizing look but with a real lift and that it lies flat under clothing. This bra is also a full cup so there's no chance of you spilling out. And the technology behind this bra will center your bust and give your breasts a natural, rounded shape.

This stunning, Chantelle piece, designed in France, is available in sizes 32-44, cups D-F.

Chantelle's Graphic Bra in Graphite

Graphite, as a colour, is in this winter, and luckily for all, Chantelle has brought out a piece that will flatter and fit a wide range of sizes and shapes.

Today we introduce C Graphique by Chantelle. This is a three-quarter, or demi, bra with medium coverage. This means it's going to give you lift and support but also great cleavage. The C Graphique cups are knit and non-padded. This stunner has an overlapping graphic pattern on the bottom of the cups with a classic grey fabric on top. It's set off by a nude edging and a glowing Chantelle emblem at the breastbone.

Chantelle's C Graphique will fit a wide variety of shapes thanks to a subtle stretch in the top of the cups. This design is available right now in sizes 34-40, cups B-G. Try on this French design to see the rounded and uplifted shape it will give you.

New Chantelle - The Vendome - Celebrates a Gemstone Theme

Chantelle's pieces are designed in France, and we can definitely see the hand of the French at work. They often provide classic lines with modern themes as seen in today's feature: the Vendome. The Vendome, by Chantelle, provides full coverage and a great uplift in a wide range of sizes all while celebrating a modern take on the gemstone.

This Chantelle piece is being offered in ultra nude, a colour that will disappear under even light-coloured fabrics for most. It is available in sizes 34-44, cups B-H, making it perfect for almost anyone looking for a fashionable look that supports and defines.

We love the details the Vendome offers like embroidered, striking straps, a fun and unique pattern on the cup and a small jewel at the breastbone. Of course, in order to truly appreciate the way this design makes you look and feel, you have to wear it, so stop by today and give it a try. 

Go to the Opera with Chantelle

Some women look to minimize their cleavage through lingerie, but for those looking to maximize it, we have the Opera, by Chantelle. This design not only makes the most of your bosom, but it also has gold thread woven throughout the floral leaves lace for an extra touch of va va voom.

This demi cup style by Chantelle also has gold hardware detailing at the breastbone and on the straps, which split near the cup into three. And unlike so many other bras, Chantelle treats the band just as fashionably as the cup, as the back is a lycra fishnet lace.

We are carrying this high-style piece in sizes 32-38, cups C-F. The shorty and the thong bottoms are also available and equally stunning.

I'll Have a Plunging Neckline, Merci

A demi-cup is perfect for many because it allows for a plunging neckline and promotes voluptuous cleavage. And today's entrance into this category is the Merci by Chantelle. It's a demi-cup in a soft, stretch lace inspired by the lotus flower.

Chantelle's Merci is available in metallic blue and we have the matching thong, boypants and Brazilian bottoms. These fine pieces were designed in France and don semi-transparent lace.

The bra has a distinctive bow at the breastbone and spaghetti straps with contrasting stitching. It's available in sizes B-E cups, sizes 34-38.

New Molded Cup Allows the Skin to Breathe

Is it hot enough for you yet? It is for us but thankfully Chantelle is helping us feel a little more comfortable in the heat with their new Spacer knit. This unique fabric is designed specifically to allow the skin to breathe and keep you cool, even in August.

This knit can be found in the new Chantelle C Chic Sexy Spacer bra. This bra has a signature Chantelle design which includes crush-resistant cups - perfect for travelers. The round shape of the breast allows for a youthful silhouette.

Find the C Chic Sexy Spacer bra in-store now in nude and in black, sizes 32-38 cups B-E and keep it cool this summer.

Memory Foam for a More Natural Silhouette

Women wear bras not just for how they look, but also for how they feel, and we're happy to say the Chantelle Orsay Memory Foam T-Shirt Bra hits it out of the park on both counts.

The Memory Foam in this new Chantelle bra creates both a natural look and feel that allows the bra to mold to the shape of the woman - and not the other way around, which is common with stiffer foams. This makes the Orsay a bra that fits more shapes and sizes of women. Memory Foam also makes the bra crush-resistant, making it perfect for travelers.

This contemporary bra has modern saddle stitching details and a crystal at its center. This is the perfect piece for under the lighter fabrics of Spring and the nude colour vanishes under thin tops. Try this bra out under your new Spring frocks to truly bring them to life.

Convertable Beauty - The Chantelle Vendôme

Bra straps. We sell bras with straps to show off, but some outfits just look more svelte without them. But then you have to worry about how to hide straps with a halter top or a racer back shirt. Chantelle to the rescue. The Chantelle Vendôme is one bra that accommodates no matter what you're wearing.

New in, the Chantelle Vendôme is available in ink in both a smooth and a soft cup. Both designs feature richly-detailed, tattoo-like embroidery on the side and the soft cup carries this motif onto the cup. You'll find a small charm at the breastbone of each piece.

The Chantelle Vendôme converts from conventional straps, to a racer back to a halter with the included strap converter.

And we have the shorty pants to match. The underwear is available in sizes S - XL and the bra is available in 32 - 40, cup sizes B - F.

New Chantelle Full-Coverage T-Shirt Bra - Magnifique

We go through a lot of Chantelle at Secret Drawers Lingerie. This isn't because we're partial - it's because you are. It's because our clients constantly choose it thanks to its wide range of sizes and great fit.

Chantelle's style isn't bad either. On the right is the brand new Chantelle C Magnifique. The Magnifique features a classically French design which is understated and feminine. This look will fit and flatter fuller figures.

The Chantelle C Magnifique is made of double-layer, seamless fabric cups which provide a natural and comfortable shape. You'll also find a scalloped edge carried all the way onto the back band for an added touch of soft design.

Sexy Shaping by Chantelle

Which underwear you choose has a lot to do with your outerwear. Bras with a demi-cup, for example, provide excellent cleavage for that deep v-neck dress you wear only on special occasions.

But other times smooth lines are the rule. Under t-shirts or light-fabric blouses getting rid of any bump or imperfection is often the goal. Enter the Sexy Shaper by Chantelle.

Chantelle's Sexy Shaper is designed to make the most of your natural lines. It enhances the curves you want to see and diminishes those you don't.

The full cup provides large-breasted women complete coverage with impeccable smoothness thanks to the flat lace on top of the Sexy Shaper. And extra features like double-adjustable straps and a wide back band make for a perfect and comfortable fit while minimizing the "back-fat" with which some women are concerned.

The Sexy Shaper is available in D cup  - G cup and in band sizes up to 40. Try one on to see how beautiful full-coverage bras can be.

New Chantelle - the Bastille

The new Chantelle in-store, the Bastille, is an example of the evolution of the company's prestigious history in corsetry. This bra provides lift and support for a broad range of sizes while looking chic and sexy.

The Bastille has lacy embroidery reminiscent of shells in blue tones atop sheer side panels and split straps with a keyhole detail in the center. The Chantelle Bastille seems to be giving a wink and a nod to the typical fashion rules by pairing black and blue.

In sizes 34 - 40, cups B - F, the Bastille will work for many women and even better, the complete look is available with the matching brief, thong or high-waisted pant.

Try on this seamless-cup bra to learn why underwear matters.

Your Love: Éternelle

A few months ago we told you about a new Chantelle line - Éternelle. 

Éternelle is stunning in its use of ultra-fine lace, but had one problem - it was best suited for a smaller cup size. Well, no more. Come in and try on the latest Chantelle Éternelle up to a G cup. 

This new style is part of the Éternelle collection, but sports a full cup to flatter a wider range of women. The Éternelle continues to boast a strap so lovely it begs to be seen and impecable delicate and feminine detailing.

So now whether you prefer a demi-cup or a full, you can find your love Éternelle.

Sometimes larger-breasted women feel left out in the fashion department, but not at Secret Drawers Lingerie. This piece is perfect for the larger-bosomed woman who's looking to add a splash of colour to her underwear drawer - up to an H cup.

Drop by to try on the superior fit, support and elegance of the new Chantelle Cachemire. 

Is a Bra Right for You? - The T-Shirt Bra

At Secret Drawers Lingerie we work hard to bring in the latest fashion styles and shades as well as traditional designs and colours to cover all your lingerie needs. And sometimes clients fall in love with a particular piece at first sight, but that doesn't always mean it's the the right bra for them.

The T-Shirt Bra

Recently, t-shirt bras have become very popular. T-shirt bras are typically seamless with a molded cup to create a smooth line across the breast so no seam shows through a thin shirt. These bras are not padded, per se, but their cup is molded into what the maker feels is the perfect breast shape.

The Good and the Bad About the T-Shirt Bra

That is both the good and the bad news. The good thing about a molded cup is the seamless look with enhanced curves; the unfortunate thing is it's harder to get a universal fit. That molded "perfect breast" doesn't necessarily suit every body type. A poorly-fitting cup can pucker and show bulges or dents in a silhouette.

Additionally, many of these bras are a demi-cup, which means there isn't full coverage of the breast. This design provides enhanced cleavage, but for some women this may make it more likely they will fall through the middle of the bra, which isn't really a good look for anyone.

The Good News

The good news is we have several t-shirt bras to choose from, and of course, many others as well. To look your best, the important thing to remember is a superb fit, even if it isn't perfectly seamless under your summer tank top. (See more lingerie tips here.)

Éternelle Chantelle Femininity

The new Éternelle by Chantelle appears eternal to us, in light gray with pink accents. The Éternelle exemplifies enduring femininity and puts us in mind of all the brides we see this time of year.

This design is made from an ultra-fine lace from Calais. This unique pattern of lace was designed specifically to meet Chantelle's exacting specifications.

The Éternelle is a demi-cup bra, meaning it covers less of the breast. And while this can mean less support, it allows for more daring bust lines and increases its delicate, romantic touch.

We're carrying the Chantelle Éternelle in sizes 32 - 38, cup sizes B - F. Get the matching, ruffled brief or thong to complete this subtle, and truly pretty, look.
