This is soft model not semi soft, and the cup feel slightly bigger than semi soft model.

The most important thing to know: the band runs smaller than in other brands I've tried (the "80E" feels more like a 75F, which also creates a small muffin top below the armpits). I'd definitely recommend sister-sizing it to an 85 band as a starting point.

The cup shape itself fit me pretty well. They are 2-part foam lined cups, with the outer piece providing side support through its size and shape (which gently pushes the breasts towards the center front), and a 3rd piece made from lace covering the upper cup. They have enough space towards the front to accommodate my projected shape. Only the straps with ca. 30 cm between them are too far apart for my narrower shoulders.

Best fitting bra I've ever tried. I bought this online because I liked how elegant it looked, but I was surprised at the fit. The cups feel like they were made for my boobs. For reference, my shape rounded, close-set, even-fullness with average to slight projection and slightly narrow roots. I also need some immediate projection, which this bra delivers. One boob is half a cup smaller, but the lace outer layer with the elastic at the top does a really good job of disguising any gapping. The band may run a bit tight, especially if your underbust is exactly 30" or a bit over. The only thing I don't like is that the sewn edge of the strap can be a bit irritating on the front, so I might sew cloth over the edge. The construction and materials of this bra feel solid and durable despite the pretty lacey appearance. It just looks so classically gorgeous, I can't get over it.

Beautiful bra, but probably the cut does not fit me, unfortunately. Overall, I can honestly recommend at least a full breast at the bottom than at the top

This is sister model of K-925.

This is probably the best bra I have so far!
The Ava Vicky Push-up bra has removeable inserts and removeable straps, so you can wear it in three different ways (normal, strapless, racerback).

It has a pretty lace design and a small rose, ribbon and transparent jewel-like stone on the gore. The cups are padded with vertical seams.

The band is decently tight and the fabric is soft. It feels very comfortable to wear!

The cups fit my wide-set boobs perfectly because of the separation, the wire is wide enough to hold everything in but not too wide to poke under the armpits.

All in all I really recommend this bra.

Really pretty, fits me perfectly (I'm usually a 65H, I have it in a 65I) but leaves marks after several hours of wear.

I find the straps too thin for this size, I also wish there were three rows of hooks instead of two. It is however really pretty and fits rather well, except that I usually am a 65H and I should've gotten this bra in a 65I because the cups are slightly too small and the band too large for me.

This bra is so pretty, I called it a unicorn bra because the colour combination and the details were so cute. But the first time I got it on, the soft material cut into me at the top (quad effect). This was not painful but simply looked and felt awkward. I tried wearing it for a whole day then changed to another bra. I came back to put this bra on a few weeks later and it actually fit without the cutting in. Then I left it again, tried this bra again from time to time and some days it would fit nicely with no cutting in, other ... days it would give me quad effect.

I am full on top, shallow with wide roots. The bra was the right size and did fit me everywhere else. But I realised that this full coverage style of bra simply wasn't going to work well for me. If it just had the vertical seam and the upper part (above the horizontal seam) was not there, it could have been a better style for the full on top.

Short review

Shape: short and narrow rooted, soft, low set.

This bra is really pretty, and I waited forever to get it from Other Eden via eBay.ca (ordered around Dec 9/19). I was really looking forward to this one because I love that green-blue hue in lingerie and I thought the floral pattern of this bra was pretty. Unfortunately it's too small for me. It has removable cookies (shaped the same as the Ewa Michalak cookies), but even without cookies my centre tissue was bubbling and squishing. This bra is a bit shallow at the underwire too I think, because I couldn't get it in my IMF. However, that could ... have been partly due to it being too small. Band is a fairly true 28", but it felt just a bit uncomfortable because of the thin elastic under the lace at the back (see pic. The lace detail on the band is really pretty BTW). The cups were not too tall in this bra, so if that's a problem this might work for you. overall excellent quality, good comfort, and excellent appearance (just not excellent on me). Will pass along...

According to the official site, this seems to be a sister model of Ellice semi soft 925 bra. Lace of top section is layered, and elastics cuts into breast tissue, so I cut of it. Cup is similar to Ellice 925, got little quad. Unfortunately I think this models pics are cuter than real.

According to the official site, this seems to be a sister model of Ellice semi soft 925 bra. I have another sister models, this have most tightest band, but will don't need size down in band. Lace of top section is layered, and elastics cuts into breast tissue, so I might cut of it. Cup is similar to Ellice 925.

According to the official site, this seems to be a sister model of Ellice semi soft 925 bra. I have another sister models, this have quite little cuts into breast tissue. I guess this is lesser cuts into tissue than other models in spite of sister models. The band is softest, lace of top section is layered.

My Ewa CHP sizes are 65E, also I had same or similar sizes semi padded bra of Gaia SS and Gorteks B-301. I have no quad only to AVA. Sizes Ava cup is biggest, second is Gaia, finally Gorteks. Band is looser than same band sizes of EM.

The adjustable strap part is 1.2cm/0.47in wide and limited length, so need be mind for who have high set breasts and/or short torso. It seems like similarer than EM CHP to Cleo Mimi, however this one is more closed, so it would be better for short roots. I have no quad with EM CHP 65E but this have it, one size bigger would be too big for me. The upper edge is thick and slightly hard, have no side bones.

I thought it'd fit because it had similar measurements to my fitting bras. It's comfortable, but the cups are a bit tight on the top, the lace is not elastic, so I get some quadboobing. I think it's just a shape mismatch, and I think I can probably fix it at some point.
It looks nice, but up close it looks cheap. The lace is very very scratchy on the outside, and a little on the inside, although it doesn't bother me when I'm wearing it. The rest of the material is soft. It looks really nice, and it's an amazing nude color.

My first time trying Ava. There is certainly a lot of projection with this bra, but it makes my breasts appear bullet shaped, and I prefer more rounded. The padding is quite thick compared to other semi-softs I've tried. The upper cup is stretch lace. Firm band, and I find the underwires very uncomfortable. It's almost like the cups are trying to lift my pendulous breasts too high and and the weight of my breasts is pushing back against the underwire and into my chest.

A great fitting bra, gives a rounded and lifted shape. Comfortable and beautiful details. The band and straps are a little thin and don't feel quite supportive enough. Straps can be changed to racerback style (neat!), and I think this will be part of my rotation.

Either this bra runs 1 cup size too big OR 95D - Ava » Manche Soft (1130) is designed for and would be true-to-size for AVERAGE to SLIGHTLY TALLER than average breast ROOTS. Breast root fit is roughly indicated by cup height and would be a particularly important consideration for people with firm breast tissue.

As someone with shorter than avg roots and soft tissue, I could size down 1 cup size from my true 40:6/42:5 = US 42DD = EU 95E to EU 95D and the bra fit.
Sizing down predictably minimized the gaping at the armpit-adjacent top of the cup AND forward projection. I consider ... this a shape trade-off, which my soft tissue allows.
The gore tacks. Soft, seamed 4-part cup lies flat, conceals my minor asymmetry, gives an uplifted rounded side profile, front view separated and natural. The side support panel does not give the center forward cleavage like the Panache Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951) or Sculptresse Chi-chi Full Cup Bra (7695).
I am able to wear the aforementioned models as everyday work bras despite their serious shaping and firm wires.
Manche feels less heavy-duty in comparison.
Unlike another reviewer, at my avg height of 5'6'' I do not have issues with this bra's wings.
I don't particularly notice this bra while wearing and can comfortably lounge in it.
