According to the official site, this seems to be a sister model of Ellice semi soft 925 bra. Lace of top section is layered, and elastics cuts into breast tissue, so I cut of it. Cup is similar to Ellice 925, got little quad. Unfortunately I think this models pics are cuter than real.

Lace of top section is layered, and elastics cuts into breast tissue, so I might cut of it. Cup is similar to Ellice 925.

I guess this is lesser cuts into tissue than other models in spite of sister models. The band is softest, lace of top section is layered.

My Ewa CHP sizes are 65E, also I had same or similar sizes semi padded bra of Gaia SS and Gorteks B-301. I have no quad only to AVA. Sizes Ava cup is biggest, second is Gaia, finally Gorteks. Band is looser than same band sizes of EM.

The adjustable strap part is 1.2cm/0.47in wide and limited length, so need be mind for who have high set breasts and/or short torso. It seems like similarer than EM CHP to Cleo Mimi, however this one is more closed, so it would be better for short roots. I have no quad with EM CHP 65E but this have it, one size bigger would be too big for me. The upper edge is thick and slightly hard, have no side bones.

A great fitting bra, gives a rounded and lifted shape. Comfortable and beautiful details. The band and straps are a little thin and don't feel quite supportive enough. Straps can be changed to racerback style (neat!), and I think this will be part of my rotation.

Cups are large, just like 65F in other brands I wear.
The color described as "champagne" is soooo beautiful https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It is a bright beige, ideal for women with pale skin. Bra is well made and very comfortable.

A lightly padded plunge/balconette, very soft materials, cotton inside lining, lacey band. I'd say a bit smaller than usual Ava sizing, but TTS generally - fitting like a UK 30DD. Not a fan of stretchy lace bands. Gives a fantastic round and lifted shape, but the cup volume is just too small for me.
Ava brings the expected excellent Polish quality.

EDIT September 2016
My weight gain forced me to find a solution to keep this bra wearable. The cup edge started to cut in considerably but the cup volume still seemed sufficient. I decided to cut the elastics off the cup edge without being sure if it would fit afterwards. It has proved to be a miracle solution and completely changed the fit and the shape. The cups became extremely open, I would say it now fits like a huge UK 65F. The cup edge became smooth, I still have a great support in this bra and my breast are even more centred.



I was always curious about this brand. ... I’ve already tried on their semi-soft construction which works pretty well on bigger busts, but the shape seemed just not right for me. I read two enthusiastic reviews of the new soft construction with the side panel on stanikomania and decided give it a try.
I bought this one during my last visit in Poland in a small local shop. Based on the reviews, I decided to size down the cup (I mostly wear 65f now) and keep my usual band size. This size turned out to be a hit (65e is where this cut actually starts). If I had to choose the size according to their chart, I would actually go for a 65G (which is meant to be the Polish equivalent of 30F). So if I should size down, I would go for a 65F! I agree with Kasica from stanikomania on that point – some Polish brand seem to use a new size chart but they unfortunately don't update the one on their site!
I’ll start with the cup construction because it’s very successful. I’ve tried a lot of Polish bras in my teens and the cups were weirdly shaped. I think that this bra proves how Polish brands have progressed ever since.
The cups are made of 4 parts, with two vertical and one diagonal seams. The lower parts and the side panel are made of a shiny, unstretchy and a little stiff material. The upper part is made of two layers of lace and is edged with elastic. This size is the best fit for me and for my shape. My minor issue is the elastic on the cup edge – it actually cuts in and I’m considering to cut it of eventually but I’ll have to find a way to keep the 2 layers together. The gore is higher than I’m used to and it sometimes doesn’t tack, the right underwire pokes in my breast. Unfortunately, the underwires don’t overlap. But overall, the gore is rather comfortable especially when you consider it's height.
There are also vertical underwires in the wings. They’re not necessary in my size IMHO but they don’t bother me.
The quality of the bra is very good and the materials used for the band and the straps are consistent with the size, but I’m now used to wear EM 65F and she uses wider straps and elastics in the band. The band in AVA is still stable and I can bear the thin straps. The only problem I have with the thinner elastics in the band is that they fold toward my skin. I also noticed that the band between the gore comes lower than in all my other bras and it rubs my skin a little bit.

My currently best fitting bra. Fits like UK 30E, gives a nice round shape, lightly padded/molded cups, narrow with good projection. Excellent for centre full shapes.

Soft foam cups, one diagonal seam - plunge balcony style. Fits like a small 30DD UK. Straps detachable, avg width for its size. The cups remind me of Comexim plunges, the fit also - cotton lining and pockets for cookies. Band and outer cup layer are the same material - band soft and stretchy. Ava is not very consistent in sizing - this one runs smaller in cups than some other 65Es I own from the same brand.
This was marketed under the name "Zelda", but now I see that Bratabase puts it under "Felice".
