Avocado hit and miss

My turquoise Avocado Camelia (S174F) arrived in the mail today -- and the 65G I ordered is a perfect fit. Yay!

But this still leaves me with a 65H that is ludicrously too big in the cups, and facing a shipping-back-to-Poland-from-Australia bill ... boo.

Before I schlep it back, it occurs to me I might be able to save someone else the hassle of ordering from them (not that it was difficult!) and guessing their size-- any interest? The 65G fits my 30FF boobs, so going by Avocado's 4cm incremental sizing, I'd estimate the 65H fits in between 30G and 30GG. The bra is FOB friendly and has good forward projection for a half-cup, beautiful construction, and wide rather than narrow wires. Oh, and the band is quite firm, so would probably work for 28 underbusts as well as 30.

If not, I'll take the measurements and send it back home to Poland.

  • Their bras look beautiful. I'm in Australia too and I'd be interested if only it would fit me. I'm about 42-43 bust, 32 underbust. Probably not even with an extender, right?

  • I'm hesitant to say for sure, because tightness is such a personal preference. I've just put the measurements in to the database, so you can have a look at cup depth etc. The band measures ~60cm unstretched, and the wires started to deform at 73cm - so I'll be wearing mine with a one-hook extension until it breaks in. (My underbust is 29.5", for reference.) You could always just use two extenders, if you're really keen - although I don't know what that would do to comfort levels. I always find the extenders itch me at their corners.
