Overall, very comfortable. It fits quite well, giving a nice round shape. The cups and lace are soft and lace and straps are somewhat stretchy. Band is also comfortable, with the gore and wings at a nice height.
The wires seem a bit too wide for my frame, but the cups are filled well. There is a tiny gap on one cup at the center front that does not show under clothing. My guess it will disappear during certain times of the month.
This is a used bra from another user here on bratabase. Condition is what you would expect. It appears in good shape, though does have signs of wear.
Overall, a good fit, and I'm happy with the outcome of this.
I'm on a quest for a semi-padded neutral invisible inexpensive balcony bra. Impimi's Adell is close but does not have enough immediate projection for me. Polish overall works for me (narrow, close-set, even but pendulous so functionally FOB, crazy immediate projection), so I am trying different brands. Technically this one fits (barring a little emptiness in the top lace panel which is only visible looking down and doesn't show under clothes), and it is good to know my Ava size. But the wings are very high and rub, plus the upper side of the cup cuts into my armpits and chafes; the cups are quite tall. This makes ...it unwearable, otherwise it is comfortable, supportive and a good fit. I think this is a full-coverage bra that would be better for FOT, splayed or average width. There is stiff boning in the band under the arms to control armpit flab. The wires and gore are narrow. The gore is tall and separates the breasts well, except on my close set rack the gore sits on breast tissue and wold be painful over time. There is enough immediate projection (yay!) and good apex projection, also room toward the gore; the cup is deep and the ratio of 14cm to 25 cm is perfect. The top lace panel is not stretchy, but it is not super firm either. There is elastic sewn in along the top edge. The lace extends through the gore and to the beginning of the band, where it is replaced by strong mesh. The band is firm and does not seem like it would stretch out easily. The straps are quilted and medium stretchy, they are plenty long. The lower padded portion is 2 in parts, with the seam toward the center not the middle. The padding is lightweight and flexible, lined with cotton. The padded part comes well past my nipples, although there seems to be a lot if lace on top too. It's a lot of bra and I am just not used to a full coverage I think! The shape I get is lifted, separated, and rounded at the base with a flattened top since I can't quite fill it out. Its actually a great shape under clothes, looks like Breasts Here. Overall a good quality, attractive daily wear bra. Which I have to return because the dang tall wings and gore. But I like Ava now!

The paper tag adds 32FF UK and 85FR, the sewn in label just has 70H. Purchased from Other Eden. Overall excellent construction, good materials, good aesthetics. I am impressed for the price! It is a pale, pale apricot, not beige. The lace on the top panel is not stretchy but there is a sewn-in elastic along the top. Same lace in band below cups and extends to the wings; it is orange-highlighted floral. So the overall look is orange-ish. There is 10 cm side boning. Band is power mesh past the lace part, and is fairly stretchy. 4 part cups with a significant portion being on the outer ...side, to which the strap is attached. There is no sling in this outer part so its not the same as 'side support' found in a Fantasie bra. But it does hold outer fullness in. Cup material smooth & semi-glossy, firm with a little give; my breast feel well supported and enclosed. Fabric and band are comfortable, not at all scratchy or rough. Seams are not visible under knit shirt. Wires are not wide, I'd call them average to narrow. But they do come up dang high on the sides! Plenty of immediate projection at the wire and projection at the apex! A little too much room up top for me, the top panel wrinkles a little and there is strap gap. Probably better for someone with more inner fullness or upper fullness. Shape is centered, rounded, lifted - reminiscent of a Cleo shape. The gore is quite tall as are the side wires and wings. On me they both poke/scratch painfully so I will be returning. I think if there was not this issue, this would be a solid favorite for a lightweight, neutral summer bra. Read more 187 more words
This is from my shopping trip to Poland! Feel free to send me a message if you want any more info on that. For reference, I believe that I had short, narrow roots with a very projected, omega shape. My best Cleo fit is the Meg then Marcie/Melissa.
As with the other Ava bra, this one shows it's low price. The semi-soft padding feels cheap and wrinkles started showing underneath where it collapsed after just a day of wearing. However, I'm ok with the quality considering the price- think I paid $18USD for this, full price.
Fairly low gore and wings, thankfully. A good tack, but would cut in if it were any higher. The straps are very stretchy, so I had to adjust them shorter than I normally do. 2 hooks. Despite the lack of projection, I find this pretty comfortable with a nice, decently centered shape and I can see myself wearing this often.
artsgal596 Technically no. According to the size charts on Ava's website this is equivalent to a UK 32FF, when I normally wear a UK 32GG (which they would call a 70J, but I think that would be much too big). Hope this helped!

Ava I think is more of a discount brand and the quality shows it. The foam in the semi-soft solid bottom feels cheap and collapses a bit, and the materials/designs don't give off a luxurious feel. However, I quite like the brand and am ok with the quality considering the price.
This bra has a fairly low gore but higher wings, they're ...just about at my limit but not as bad as Nipplex. The cup cuts down low towards the gore so not very full coverage. I think someone with softer tissue might just ooze out the middle on this unfortunately. The elastic under the top part of the mesh might not work for people with upper fullness or tall roots. The cup is on the shallower side I think, as it collapses a bit on the sides, but the shape is pretty round. Read more 83 more words
Oh man, this bra just does not fit me. I needed a strapless bra for a dress for a night out, and the price was right -- it was 100% worth the effort. It does that flattening thing that I'm told by female friends is normal, but it's not my favorite look. I also just end up feeling like my breasts are a bit low and noticeably sports a quadboob.
It worked for the dress I needed it for (the quadboob was masked by the thickness of the dress) but overall, it's something I only bust out when absolutely necessary.
Beautiful Ava half cup bra with interesting cut out detail in the center gore. The band fits nicely. Started out on the first hook. After some wear, it now fits on the middle hook. The cups still are cut a bit too high for my liking (they come up high under my arms which irritates me) but not as bad as some other bras. This is my second Ava. Purchased on sale and worth every penny https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
