This is my first order with Avocado and I have to say that I'm very pleased with the fit of this brand on me. It really is designed for narrow (but not too narrow) breasts that are very projected, especially from the centre gore. The straps aren't too thick - the band is supportive and comfortable with 3 hooks and eyes. The wires aren't outrageously strong, truth be told. While construction is good, the soft wires really undermine the support. If your breasts are heavy, it might not be the best for you. Specifically about the Mirabelle: It's a bit wide at the base and a bit fussy at the underbust. I'd prefer a more close and contained shape there.
This is a gorgeous bra. Gives great lift, looks beautiful, has three hooks in the back. Keeps the boobs in fornt of the body. The straps are short, though. I usually adjust the straps about halfway and these I have to leave at their longest. I fasten on the second row though, so I think my next Avocado try-out will be a 70 band. I ordered the 75 band on advice from Avocado but none of the 4 bras in my order were "polish" tight I think.
I've worn the bra for 2 whole days and have absolutely no complaints. I have soft pendulous boobs and there is absolutely no spilling out the middle. It's not the cakes on a plate look I get in EM, but that's in Avocado's favour for me.
Wonderful chocolate brown colorway. If it came in green I would buy it instantly.

About the Essentia specifically - the band is a bit loose, IMO, for size. Mind you, I did size up in the band because I'd heard it runs tight. I'd go down to a 70 next time (and up a cup size). The depth of this is perfect. Very deep especially at the centre gore. The fabric is lovely and soft. The colour is a deep caramel shade. Would be attractive on many skin colours. Great neutral bra that isn't boring and the shape is great.
