Wow, the first ever Bratabase review of an Avocado bra - and I get to write it! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

First about the brand. It's Polish, and high-end, which shows in their prices (almost double compared to EM, for example). Since all Polish bras I've seen look stunning, they're not distinctive in that regard.
Avocado does not have an english site yet, but their very friendly customer service (they speak excellent english, by the way) informed me that they'll be taking steps in the near future to better serve international customers. I hope this means they'll add PayPal to their payment options - I ... paid via money transfer.
About the bra: The Annick is a balconnette, made of see-through black lace.
Pros:
- Beautiful design
- Excellent quality
- Low underwires
- Soft material

Cons: Since this bra was at least two cupsizes too small for me and the band was tight, I can't say anything definite about its shape.
- Underwires felt soft
- Band stretchiness a mystery (may be very stretchy)
- Cups run small. According to the Avocado size chart my overbust measurement 104cm should fit fine into their 65K which has an overbust measurement of 106cm, but it's WAY too small. I'll be exchanging this to 70L (which in Comexim bras is too small for me...), hope it fits. If not, then we can write Avocado off the list of brands that cater to really big boobs. That would be a shame, for their designs are beautiful.

BTW. I didn't add the stretched band measurement as the bra is going back.
