This bra is gorgeous. The purple lace embroidered with pink and orange flowers is alluring, and yet supportive. The band is constructed with two layers, creating a strength and supple feeling that will support all day long. I'm always impressed by Avocado quality of materials and construction. The construction of the cups is very similar to Cleo Lucy (in 28F/30E) or Marcie (in 28F/30E). Which means that, unfortunately, this bra seems to be designed for someone whose breasts do not project as immediately as mine. However, this is a very frequent problem (that there isn't enough space in the bottom of the cups), ...even in Ewa Michalak bras sometimes. This cup would probably be best suited for someone with short-rooted breasts, as otherwise the lace detailing on the edge may cut in. For me, the top cuts in and gives quadboob effect, even though immediately below that is a slight pooch of extra fabric: my roots are just too tall for the cup construction. The straps appear to only be half adjustable, because the lace fabric of the cups is overlain on half of the strap, but the strap slider adjusts over the lace, so the straps are fully adjustable.
This is an extremely pretty bra (black with green ribbon trim). I want to love it, but I don't. I do, however, very much like it (enough to keep it).
The good: narrow wires, high quality construction, lovely details
The not so good; very slight torpedo boob shape; I prefer a bit more rounded, very slight digging in at gore
Overall it is good. It is my first bra with narrow wires and I can see that this is something I may want to pay more attention to. The cups are a teensy deep for me, but I don't think I could size down. Pretty true 30E.
I definitely would try more Avocado after trying this one.
Avocado is at it again! This bra is made of superb materials and construction. The cup is a 3-part construction similar to Cleo Lucy and Marcie bras. The lower part of the cup is a semi-transparent black horizontally-striped lace cup, with the top portion having blue dots and a floral-esque blue-purple edge. The back band is made of a solid black extremely sturdy material that seems like it would hold up extremely well to wear. Again, just like 65E - Avocado ยป Jewel (S186H) , the straps appear to only be half-adjustable because of the lace from the cups continuing up the strap, ...but the slider slides over the lace relatively easy.
This cup seems to fit someone who has semi-projected breasts with a medium to tall root. Alot of immediate projection probably wouldn't work well in this style, but the top doesn't seem to cut in as much as many of the other Avocado styles I've tried. This bra seems to fit almost the exact same as Cleo marcie, but with a more plunging neckline.
This bra is beautiful and incredibly well made, I love everything about it! It seems like it would be quite comfortable, and even though it has lovely details it was not super visible under a t shirt. Unfortunately it does not fit me, the cups (the cup really, it fits my smaller side quite well) are too small and I get some tissue escaping into my armpits. I have quite a lot of extra flesh there (years of wearing too small cups) anyways. I also tend to get a bit of the upside down seven shape especially on my larger breast because of the smallness of the cups. This gives a lovely natural shape to my smaller breast though, and a very frontal look, no east westness happening here!
So, so beautiful! I wish this bra fit, it is just stunning! Again this is a great bra, just too small in the cups (really just the larger one, on the small side the fit is great!), and I think a bit too shallow, but that might just be the smallness of the cups again. Gives a great forward shape, no east west breasts here. Very well made and beautiful with many interesting details, the band is stretchy but sturdy and feels very well made. It seems like it would be quite comfortable also, though I do get flesh in the underarm area. I think a higher wing would help but that is a personal preference and on someone with slightly smaller breasts this would probably not be an issue.
