Huge fan of Avocado quality. I love this bra. I have this bra in other colours but this one fits a bit smaller in the cup than the black. This blue one fits like a 30FF. Gives a really nice rounded shape, kind of cakes on a plate. Wires aren't too wide, cups have decent depth. Nice coverage.
I felt in love as soon as I saw it on the page, and was hesitating between the RV and the NF model. I tried an HC bra in 65F and couldn’t decide what size to get neither. So after researching I decided that the NF was to pointy for me and ordered my suggested size: 65G. I’d say it’s the most accurate for my shape of the Avocado bras, but the gore it’s a bit too high. I definitely love it
The bra it’s beautiful. I bought it to another Bratabase user to check my size in Avocado. The bra fits good overall but there’s some wrinkling near the gore and in the top part of the cup. The cups are really open, even for my FoT breast. The size is good, I own another 65G Avocado bra that’s fits better though.
The band seemed too loose even on the tightest hooks. Also I was not at all able to fill the cups, especially on top, leaving them looking pretty sad and wrinkled.
Aesthetically, it's elegant, classic, and understated. The unique color combo of the powder blue paired with the pink-taupe is striking & lovely. I am coming to appreciate that in beauty & wearability, Avocado has yet to disappoint!
True to its Polish characteristics, the wires are wonderfully narrow which suits my fairly narrow roots. The gore is a bit too wide for my breasts, but it isn't a deal-breaker. The cups are constructed of two layers of fabric: the bottom layer (which lays against the skin) is made of a sturdy, thin, taupe material, while the top layer is made of a soft, powdery ...blue lace. The cups stretch well & seem to nicely accommodate for my asymmetry & for my projected shape.
I would like to note that after a bit of research, I decided to go with the 65G (30:7) rather than my usual 30:8 because I had read that the cups typically run large in this brand. I found this to be true! While I usually can't go any smaller than a 30:8 or 30:9 in other Polish & UK brands, I would definitely be swimming in a bigger cup than the 30:7. I would just keep that in mind if you are considering this bra (or many others from this brand). Read more 120 more words
Sadly this bra is just too big for me. I held on to it hoping it would eventually got but I don't think I'm getting any bigger. I believe it fits like a tight 28F.
This really great quality bra came from a swap. Cup volume is ideal, gives a rounded shape, good lift, narrow wires. Band is too tight for comfort without an extender. Strap separation too wide for me - this is not a problem I run into too often. I get some wrinkling on my smaller side, but with about an inch of extension in band I can get a pretty good fit.

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
This is my second attempt at Avocado. I cupped down and went up a band. The band does not seem noticeably longer and measures the same as my 65L. I didn't like the softness of the wires the first time, but I thought the looser band would decrease the distortion. It doesn't. The wires are just really, really, soft. ... It makes me wonder if they are plastic, but as I am not keeping it, I can't pull it apart. The cup fit is better, but it still quads on my centre fullness. There is not enough immediate projection, it's ok, but really not enough to keep, even if it fit better. There is gaping at the strap attachment - typical for my centre fullness. The straps, which I usually need fully extended, seem shorter than most others and cause in-cup quading. The wires are very U-shaped at the centre and fairly tall and angled outwards on the outside.
The materials are soft, no stretch, and well sewn. It is not just the wires, it is the sizing and the lack of immediate projection and centre fullness room. Oh well! Read more 138 more words
The band on this bra definitely runs tight, stretching just over 28" whereas my 65G Chamade stretches to 30." I was only a little bit disappointed to find that Amber isn't really gold as it's described on Avocado's website... in person it's more of a caramel-beige color with a slight sheen; it could be a great neutral for someone with tan skin. The wings and upper portion of the cup are sheer mesh with beautiful swirl embroidery. The cup really doesn't have much stretch, and I think very FoB shapes might struggle to fill out the upper section. The gore also has a keyhole detail covered with the same sheer mesh. The bra is a little more full coverage than I would expect for a half-cup; to me it almost looks more like a traditional balconette, although it does give a high, round purple shape from the side.

Another Brand I can't wear! This is the "K" style. It is the narrowest they make. See photo of included pamphlet. New styles RV, classic wide and supportive balconette, and NF, plunge with narrower wires and higher wings, not included.
Straps are too wide and upper part of the cup has too much room.
Good for FoT or tall roots!
Narrow measurements of ...wire is surprising - very soft and it distorts very much.
Band with my usual extender is perfect and three hooks! Not quite enough immediate projection, but good shape and side boning. Straps are nicely thick and cushioned, but not scalloped so I suspect the slides might move. Very good materials and sewing, but slightly more pricy to justify this. Soft wires don't dig anywhere and while no side support, width of strap set and height of wing gives good side coverage.
This bra is absolutely gorgeous, and I wish my pictures did it more justice. It wasn't a great fit for me, unfortunately, with the gore being higher than I like and the band and cups both being a little small. However, I'm glad I finally got to try out an avocado bra and now I know I want to order from them!
I finally got the perfume smell out of this bra enough to give it a real try! (It came from the manufacturer with a perfume sachet, and it took me forever to get the scent out.)
This fits completely opposite to my EMs: wide and shallow. It doesn't have enough immediate projection at the bottom of the cup or at the center. I'm actually astonished that the gore tacks completely, because usually with cups that feel wide and shallow and gores that are this high, I don't get tacking, at least not at the top.
This basically feels like a minimizer on me.
As the band is on the snug side and the wires are very flexible, I'm going to try it with an extender and see if that changes the feel of the cup at all. From the measurements the cup shouldn't feel so wide, so I'm thinking their shape is being distorted by the tightness of the band.
Probably the most beautiful and my favourite bra I've ever owned. I know it's just black but it is so effortlessly elegant and feels like a bit of a luxury bra even though it's easily worn to work. Avocado did a semi-sheer, lacy, sexy bra for a bigger bust that is actually comfortable. It may be the A cut which is more full coverage than their other styles, but it doesn't make you feel too covered up. The edge of the lace at the top of the bra showed once when I wore a very low scoop neck top with it, but otherwise it is not that full ...coverage but still made me feel like my breasts were very anchored and secure.
The fit at the time of purchase was perfection. Nice narrow wires that came low under the arm, so no pinching! The gore was okay, it didn't quite tack because the band wasn't tight enough, but the cups fit fine. The band stretched out relatively quickly for me and is too big on the tightest hooks now. I think the material of the band is just softer/stretchier than the mateirial used on other Avocado bras. I have the Avocado Nina in the 75K and the band lengths are similar, so I would say the band on the Greta runs a little on the large side.
** This bra no longer fits as I'm a 30G now, but the review still stands. **
Appearance: I have this in the deep purple colour. Along the top of the cub is a hot pink ruched ribbon and in the centre gore and top of the cup/strap attachment are spotted pink/orange bows. Not sure if I love the bows, but I love the contrast between the deep purple and the bright pink. The colours also really suit my skintone. It gives a lovely rounded shape, very uplifted but still natural. The K cut has less coverage than my other Avocado ones which are in A cut, ...so suit lower necklines.
Fit: The band is very comfortable on the middle hook. It is pretty stretchy and feels slightly loose but it is wearable, though it feels like I'd need to move to the tightest hook after not too long and then a rixie clip. I tend to like firm bands. The cup volume is pretty much perfect, but the top of the cup does cut in ever so slightly on my left breast as it's the bigger one and tends to fluctuate more noticeably. I'd say the bra fits like a loose 30HH or firm 32H. The underwires are U shaped and fairly narrow, which is perfect for me. The underwires do not come very high underneath the arms, which is great if pokey wires are an issue. Read more 135 more words
** This bra now doesn't fit me at all, as I am about a 30G now. 5/5/16 **
Utterly beautiful bra. I love the embroidery so much and the colour is gorgeous. The colour is probably my favourite colour for lingerie (a kind of deep magenta). The quality of the bra is perfect. Avocado is quite expensive compared to other brands, but I feel like the bras are completely worth it. I love that the cups are quite sheer, with only the embroidery over it. The sheer mesh itself is soft but firm, retaining its shape really well. While the lace has no stretch in it, the ...edge of the cup does, meaning there is a bit of give in there for those in between sizes or for those with a lot of upper fullness. The band is very soft and comfortable and I would say is less firm/runs more generous than the Avocado Caprice A cut and Nina K cut bras.
The Avocado A cut is really lovely. It gives a nice rounded profile, quite natural but still uplifted and supported. I tend to prefer this shape as I am quite FOT, narrow and close-set, and anything too projected or rounded can make my boobs look like orbs and a bit too in-your-face. While the A cut is uplifted and rounded, the construction anchors my boobs wonderfully, making me feel secure. I consider the A cut the perfect everyday style, and I wear it (in the Caprice) to work every day. The cups can be perhaps a tad tall for those whose breasts sit high on the chest (which mine do), though, so it may not be ideal to wear with low scoop necks. Personally, I don't find the cups too tall in the right size, though, you can see a peek of the lace edge of the cup with a couple of my tops, but it doesn't bother me at all.
