WOW, I am so impressed with this bikini top! first of all it lookes nice! I got two bras in 65E and 65F and they both fit me but with some minor differences. The band is bit snug, hard to close it from the back but manageable after couple of tries. Feels tight for first few sec and then it feels really good. The cups fits me perfectly! theyre more like full cup-plunge - something in claudette style a little. the 65E are little bit lower than 65F and looks overal better on me. Theres no wrinkling on smaller side in both sizes! They adjust beautifully to the shape, also they make nice rounded shape Wires are narrow, and go exactly around my breasts. Overall the top is very comfortable and looks gorgeous, so I need to get matching panties with it *_* I am very pleased with it!
I'm in two minds about this bra. It's a classic, well-designed, plain bra, which is what I'm looking for. I also like the all-over roundish shape. And it fits, which is no small feat - aside from the little creases at the very top of the cup, but that happens with every bra I've ever tried. But. It's awfully uncomfortable. I can feel each and every seam scratching. Also a weird feeling under the armpits, as the wires do not go all the way to the top and there's an empty bit of wire channel. So, while the wires don't poke, that little flap just flaps around as you move. Hmmm... I think it's going back.
Runs slightly big, so it's a great bra for the fuller part of the monthly cycle - in the pictures I'm not there yet so some wrinkles in the upper part of the cup can be seen. Ther color is a spicy, shiny red. The threads and hardware are iridescent making the design more interesting.
In terms of shaping, for me it beats the unpadded Cleos. Turns out I don't really need to have my breats lifted up so much and I prefer a somewhat more relaxed and projected shape. I attached a picture of me wearing it under a white t-shirt.
I really like this bra. To love it, it would have to be dark blue - unfortunately other colors were sold out.
Edit: now that I've uploaded everything I see that the red straps seem crooked - I promise they are are not one puts on the bra correctlyhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" />
It looks very pretty, the lace at the top kinda hides any gaping that may occur. The wires are pretty narrow for this cup size afaik. Sadly its too big for me (I'd say it runs TTS, maybe a bit big) so I cant quite comment on the fit.
Edit: I dont know why but it seems to fit me better now so I thought I'd comment on the fit. Its not a technically perfect fit but I like it so much. The lace like I said hides any gaping that'd occur for my FOB shape and I'm sure would accomodate different top fulness levels. It gives a nice ...and rounded silouette with a soft peak. It has good projection and acceptable immediate projection. I turn it into a racerback with a clip to fit me slightly better (smaller). The top lace for me isn't visible under shirts although I think it varies with fullness level. Its my new favorite nude bra.
The only minus point for me are that the band doesn't come in an 28 or 26 and 30 is too big for me but thats a personal issue since the band is TTS. Also for my high set shape the wings and wires at the side come up slightly too high and dig in at times but its definitely something I can see past. Also I grown to love the design!

This is the first time I try this brand. Actually this model is called Frozen Valley Semi Soft Bra. The design could be very beautiful, but the quality is really cheap. It makes me remember of the very first bra I've got from a street fashion store in China when I was 11. The material is just paper-like. As I took it out of the delivery box it had already so many wrinkles that hard to be eliminated.
The general shape of this bra is similar to Fantasie Side Supports, especially the gore width. The cups are narrow and projected but a little bit much rounder. The biggest difference I experienced is the strap length. Unlike Fantasie, this bra has relative short straps.
It is too small for me, definitely. However, I don't think it is worth to change for a 65G just because of the disappointing quality.
I tried this bra but it had cookie pockets. It felt cheap to me too, and it was too small. I like the look of this bra, so I was dissapointed in the quality.
It’s so pretty. Hard to believe it is cheap feeling. Just goes to show you that looks can be deceiving.
Ooh, such soft cotton lined three-part cups, reminds me of comexim plunge cups. Cup too small on my larger side and I get quad boob. Soft wires. Side boning. Band is mesh on wings, has side boning, and runs TTS or a little snug. Cup a little narrow, average projection.
The cup shape is right for me and it feels so soft, I wish it were a size up.
Me: tall roots, close-set, average or narrow width, even but functionally FOT, centre-full, size asymmetry. 26" and 34" leaning.
My shape: FOB, soft tissue, narrow shoulders and roots, projected Appearance: I really love the paisley print of this bikini. The colors are bright and eye-catching: the paisley is mostly navy blue, with hot pinks, whites, teals, greens, neon greens, oranges, and outlines in black. The top of the cups, straps, and bow at the gore are all hot pink. The cups are padded and constructed of 3 parts: there is one vertical seam and one horizontal. The cups are narrower than UK brand bikinis, typical of Polish brands. Fit: Of the three Ava bikinis I ordered from Amazon to try, this one fit the best. I say "the best," but that doesn't mean it actually fit me well. The cups were too separated and the straps were too wideset for my narrow shoulders. I'll be returning this, sadly.
So I decided to keep this bra and made some alterations. First of all I made the band smaller, as it was way too big for me, I could begin wearing the bra only using the tightest hooks. Then I tried the bra on and saw that the thin elastic on the upper edge slightly ( but very noticeable) cuts into my tissue. Cups were very FOB friendly. That was not uncomfortable, but the shape under some thin clothes was not perfect. So I cut off that thin elastic from the top edge of the cup. That made the bra look more nice and delicate. It's still a plane nude bra, but the lace part now looks much better.

This bra's measurements have been altered
Altered band,
the band is shortened and I cut off the elastic from the upper cup edge
The best thing about this bra is the color. I didn't realize until I saw the pictures how well it blends with my skin. I would describe it as golden apricot. The bra is overall very pretty.
Unfortunately that's where the fun ends. Even if it fit I wouldn't keep it, it's that scratchy. The embroidered mesh in the top of the cup is the worst culprit but even the lower cups are this stiff, thin, shiny, non-stretchy stuff that feels just awful.
The band is tight enough to inhibit breathing and cause wire distortion. I wore an extender when I took the front, angle, and side pictures so you could get a better idea of the fit. The cup is obviously a size too large, but at the same time lacks the depth at the wire I need (I seem to need more than average for my size).
This bra is discontinued and on clearance at Other Eden. If I were you I'd save my money.
I havent tried Ava since long time - probably my last Ava was semi soft (that actually was too small). As recently I decided to try Gaia and Gorteks (Gaia - is on the small side but so comfortable, and Gorteks fits very well but the gore s little too high). Every polish company has different sizing, so its hard to get the first bra perfect. I already had small experience with Ava, so decided to get 3 bras in one go. I bought semi soft in 65F - overal fit good, although it splayed my boobs to the sides; no 2 was soft in 65G (ive choseg ...65G, as gorteks was good piece, and remember that 65E was too small year ago and I had growth), it was soo big, not even close to 30f, it was definietly 30ff (BUT! the wires width was 12cm(!) however I didnt find them too narrow. Cups were large and tall). And my 3rd one, which is the winner!
Firstly, the aesthetics of this bra is great. Its tad darker than Ewa Michalak Pl Stal\u00f3wka (328) , but is definietly prettier with the fuchsia lace details. All fabrics are so soft. The inside fabric is even softer than Ewa and Comexim bras. I whish all bras are using same one.
When measuring, wires seems to be narrow, but when the bra is on the body they are actually sligtly too wide, Id say maybe by 0.5cm - so thats not a big issue. The gore is not too high but it isnt low as well, and does not cause any pain (like seriously, its very hard for me to find bra thats not plunge and doesnt cause any irritation due to gore height).
So far I didnt find full cup bra that would fit me so well. I have tall roots and found this one perfect. There are no quadboobs or loose space in the cup - no cookies needed! The straps placement is almost perfect - like most of my Comexims. Straps are little long, and I have the sliders on my arms but you cant really feel them.
Band is great, Id say its like Ewa size 70 (which is usually snugger than other bras in 32) . I could close it on the last hook on the second day but no need as I get lots of support from loosest ones. The wings are quite tall and has extra support like small (I bet plastic or just material folded) wire but maaaaan, it feels like nothing.
I think there are only positives about the bra. It didnt cause me any harm (Im looking at you 30E - Cleo » Kayla Balconnet Bra (9221) - I was sufferring from the too wide straps ) I wish Ava would have exactly same bra and fabirc but in nice summer blue with orange or yellow lace *_*
Also, Im sure im going to give much more attention to Ava soft, full cups, soft fullcups and halfcups. Its worth the money (especially that they cost 1/2 or even 1/3 of Ewa's). Read more 415 more words
Thanks for this review. I'm planning on trying Ava soon. The measurements make me think a 65F would work for me. Does this style need a lot of upper fullness?
I don't have much upper fullness I'm FOB/Even and fits great :) you can try in 65F or maybe E (so you could compare them) if you are very FOB
Thanks! I always feel like the product pics I see have someone with a much fuller bust than me so this is good to know :)
No problem. It's definitely worth giving it a go :) same you can try with soft ones. I'm planning to get some 65F and 65E to compare and more fullcups if possible as need to get rid of other bras that cause me discomfort
Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, very soft tissue, fairly centre full, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
First forray into the realm of Bra sized Bikinis. As a bra, it is too wide in the cup and not enough immediate projection, but the straps are narrow enough set, it has good side boning, the band is the right size, and it hides my assymetry.
As I have no intention of wearing it all day, It will do!
The cups are stretch lined with a thicker fabric in the bottom part of the cup and have padded side slings and have tons of room for centre fullness.
*Edit: after swimming in it, I will never ever go back to non-bra sized swimwear ever! I never once felt the need to tug, tuck, or adjust. Even for a short period of time, It is so freeing!
That is a really cute bikini top! I would never have known about the asymmetry if you hadn't mentioned it. The gaping in the right cup is only there in the photo because you were extending your arms forward, right? I love bra-sized swimwear. I often have problems with gores being too high, too. A couple years ago, Cleo did a plunge tankini top in my favorite color. I bought two, plus the matching bottoms. Glad to hear you are looking and feeling fabulous in bra-sized swimwear!
Well-made, quality bra. Doesn't fit the way I like OR the way I "need." I need a bigger cup size and a tighter band. I'd LIKE to have a rounder shape like some of Ava's discontinued bras. This one is a retro look, imo, and more of a balconette than a "full" cup =( .... I need a full coverage cup. I don't care how round my boobs look will a full-coverage bra, I need support dadgumit! I don't want my girls fallin' out when I chase babies and toddlers around the house.
Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, very soft tissue, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
Totally sheer dual layer mesh with the most immediate projection I have yet seen. Cups are a tad wide (by half a cm) and the strap set width is on the outside edge of narrow enough. Top of cup is lined by elastic. Expandable side boning, only two hooks. Straps are ribbed and and scallopped and fully adjustable. Gore is average and decently tall, wings are nicely tall.
Obviously, cups run big, but I think that is more about the shape than anything else. Band doesn't need an extender so it is a tad looser.
Unfortunately, the frame is identical to the 65J except with a slightly lower centre gore. The cups are 2.5 cm less deep. I was hoping for a slightly smaller frame.
The Ava Morski is a 2-part (upper and lower), lightly molded multiway bra with sewn-over fabric (a beautiful, dark blue-green with small pink dots) and contrast lace (same shade of pink) sewn to make it look like a 3-part cup with no upper-- think the Ewa Michalak HP cut, both stylistically and, to some extent, in fit. This bra comes with pocket for inserts, which I love, but it definitely doesn't hold the pudding in if I bend over.
The two-part construction gives it a somewhat pointed appearance at the apex, but the single curve and possibly the three-part over fabric help to give it an otherwise ...more rounded appearance than Ava's two-part half-padded in a similar size, which I received as part of the same package. When I first put on this bra, I do get some quadding on my larger breast and need a single pad on the smaller, As I go throughout the day, the quadding settles down and may just have to do with slightly overaggressive scooping.
The band is a single layer of matching green soft stretch lace with pink elastic and hooks. Like prior Ava bras I've tried (the 75G - Ava » Liatris Semi-soft (AV-1248) ), I find the band to be quite true to size with the listed UK size (30E) but with a full cup-size larger. Read more 119 more words
A basic, functional bra that boasts Ava's firm, medium-width wires comparable to Panache with a winsome K-1130 balconette construction. [based on 95D - Ava » Manche Soft (1130) and related to Ava Stilbite, Ava Ortensia, Ava Pia 1518, Ava See Me 1751, Ava Frosting 1649, 95D - Ava » Hailey Soft Side Support (1514), Ava Pink Plumeria 1940, Ava Lianel 1982, Ava Zoe 1986, Ava Guell 2022] The Soft Side Support (1130) construction is a soft (unpadded), seamed, 4-part cup balconette with a serious gore similar to the Panache Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951) and a hit for center-forward lift, projection, shaping and medium-full coverage. ALL Ava bras with Soft Side Support ...construction - I own 4! - run 1 CUP TOO BIG - and I get consistent fit sizing down from my true size of 40:6/38:7 US/UK to 90:5 in Ava and have sister-sized up a band based on bra availability/weigh fluctuations. Granted, I have soft, pendulous FoB breasts. The Soft Side Support is one of Ava's staple bra constructions and has been issued in different styles every fashion season (twice a year) for many years now. The color is a cooler beige which is a workable "nude" for lighter complexions. The geometric embroidery in the top section is pretty enough and not too annoying, though shows under lighter fabrics
Brastop, Lumingerie, OtherEden, Amazon and on occasion eBay are notable Western retailers of Ava Lingerie but most Polish e-shops that ship internationally stock Ava. Read more 129 more words
I have this bra in three colours, the fit is slightly different in each one for some reason, perhaps due to the fabric. This black fit, cup side is okay but I can't fill at the bottom. Have two vertical seams and one horizontal seam, I guess cups run slight bigger side.

I have this bra in three colours, the fit is slightly different in each one for some reason, perhaps due to the fabric. This beige colour looks pinkish on the website, but it's actually a pinkish beige. Colour is same as 1921 Freesia semi-soft. The fit, it's too wide and has wrinkles that don't fill sides. Have two vertical seams and one horizontal seam, I guess cups run slight bigger side.
Top is very stretchy fabric and elastic band, so I got quad boob effect. If you find narrow bra in this range, this is not your option. This model and maybe sister models are run wide.
Super cute!
