Summary: Avocado size suggestion too small in cups; bands run true to size; somewhat narrow wires; stunning quality and highly recommended

First of all, it is important to note that Avocado have their own sizing and do not use EU sizing, with their cups increasing in increments of 4cm, unlike an inch in UK/US cups. I was recommended this size through emails with Avocado based on a 28inch underbust and 39 standing and 40 leaning bust measurement and me wearing about a 28HH/J in UK bra sizing. I was told that the 60 J & 60K I had asked for would probably be too big and their bands run ... tight in the 60 band so they suggested trying 65H. I did order a 60J though, its sistersize.

This bra is the Camelia, part of their bridal range; I only bought this as it only had my sizes available in the 'Model D' style (see http://www.avocado.com.pl/sklep/pl/modele.html) that I thought would be good for my full-on-top breast shape.

The bra runs about 2-3 UK cups too small for me and the band I can tighten and fit into the band quite nicely.

Despite that, these bras are very beautiful and are of lovely quality and I'm very annoyed they don't fit! The lace is beautiful and the straps, unlike in other bras I have tried, are not too wide. The wires also ran okay me and I have a narrow root, so need Comexim/Ewa Michalak narrowness in wires. I would say they are not as narrow as the above, other Polish bra companies but they are quite good. The distortion from the too small cups is unhelpful in wire assessment.
