    95D

    Hasn't set fit

    One of the most decorative and decadent bras I own 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, Ava Jordyn aka Ava Total Flirt 1854, Ava Freesia 1922, 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.
    This model is a peacock-inspired emerald teal wonder that is much more lingerie than it is underwear and its decadent embroidery will show through many tops.
    I couldn't resist the color and its beauty and that's that.
    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.

  2. Manche Soft (1130)

    95D

    Didn't fit

    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.
