This bra is so gorgeous and comfortable!

The pictures don't do proper justice to the gorgeous color. It's this lovely metallic blue under black lace. There's a velvet strip at the very top of the cups. The top of the cups and the bottom of the band are decorated in soft lace (which doesn't irritate my sensitive skin!) which sticks out from the bra and the body.

I'm never quite sure what to make of half-cups or how to check their fit versus a plunge bra, but this seems to fit great. The inside of the cups is soft and secure-feeling. The cups are gloriously narrow for a half-cup and ... fit me well. I don't feel like I've got dangerous levels of boob hanging out (as has been a worry in an Ewa Michalak half-cup) but it's still very nicely low-cut--I need to buy some scoop-neck tops!

It's also a very secure bra. It doesn't staple my boobs to my chest but it does keep them very nicely in-place, while I feel a more bouncy in my Ewa half-cup. Although that's probably because the Ewa half-cup had a slightly stretched-out band, and this bra's band is a pretty great length for me, very nicely firm.

A+ bra, I highly recommend it to my boob-twin. If you're narrow, FOT-to-even, center-full, and at least moderately projected, this might be a pretty good bra for you.

This is a lovely bra!

Ordering with Avocado's sizing (they use a 4cm rather than a 1 inch increment in their cup sizing) proved a little tricky. For my 30FF breasts, I ordered both the 65G and the 65H**. The H is at least one and a half cup sizes too large, but the G is pretty much perfect. There's the *tiniest* fraction of gapping on the larger breast, so tiny I'm not actually sure it's there and isn't just an illusion produced by the lace overlaying the thicker cup lip; if it is there, it's probably just an artefact of my being a little shallow on top.

The cups ... have good immediate projection, so they're FOB-friendly, and unlike a lot of other half-cups they don't flatten my breasts out wide and minimised. It's not as forward as, say, an EM half-cup, but it's not bad. The wires on this are wide, so anyone lusting after an EM bra who can't face her narrow wires, this would be a good alternative!

The straps are only partly adjustable, which isn't a problem for me; what does concern me is that they don't have any decoration or stitching to stop the extenders sliding, so I'm not sure how they'll hold up once they've got a bit of wear in them.

The band is pretty firm, I could easily have gone with a 70; consider sizing up in the band if you don't like your bras tight.

** To guess my size, I put on my best-fitting bra with the most forward projection (Freya Arabella) to take my overbust measurement, and then used the sizing chart on Avocado's website (http://avocado.com.pl/en/content/6-fit-guide), which put me in between 65G and 65H. The website recommends choosing the larger size if you're in between, but the smaller G worked far better for me.
