Nice looking and very comfortable bra. I have two of them (different colours) and I am planning to new Averos next. The only problem with these bras is that they've stretched out a little bit in less than one year. Marie Jo's Averos are also quite expensive if compared to for example those which can be purchased in Bravissimo or Brastop.
I'm probably going to have to update this review a few times, so be warned.
First: the appearance of this bra on the rack is great. The pink is pinker than you'd expect but not candy-colored, and would work as a subtle/nude bra. Despite being fairly simple in design, I don't find it boring or sexless. Great basic. The materials are soft and nice, not scratchy, and everything seems properly finished.Given the price-point, and the brand's reputation, this had better be a good quality bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
The cups are smooth and shiny, seem fairly close on top. Not visible under a t-shirt at ...all. Band has some give, but runs tighter than Chantelle or Simone Perele bras I have tried (which was a pleasant surprise for me). Bra seems to be the right size, gore sits flat and there's no gaping or bulging, but I'm wondering if there's enough projection for me: the cup seems wider (esp on top, at the end of the wire, I know I've got a little space left there) than I need it to be and I can feel the wire on my larger side dig in the rib a little. Otherwise very comfortable. The straps don't adjust super-short, so that might be an issue for some. (I typically don't have straps as short as they go, but on this one I almost do.) Straps are pretty wide-set too. Read more 136 more words
I bought this bra a couple of weeks ago without knowing the actual model name. After checking it on Marie Jo's web site I found out it's actually supposed to be a push-up bra with removable pads. Well, I can tell it's definitely this model by the looks of it (I know for sure it's Jane and it isn't any of the other Jane models) but it doesn't have any kind of padding. It doesn't push up either. I tried a cup size smaller but that created spillage so it can't be the size. Perhaps it has a wrong kind of a construction for my breasts to be a push-up bra, who knows.
However, I like this model a lot. I wouldn't buy a push-up bra because I don't want my bras to give any cleavage or proportion. This is a nice model for me since it makes my breasts look very natural, as if I wouldn't have a bra at all. It's also very comfortable to wear.
Fantastic fit. Full coverage on the sides fixes my sideboob problems. Nice plunge, decent nipple padding, and convertible straps allow me to wear it with a wide variety of clothing.
The straps however dig in and I added my own looser straps.
This bra does not fit me, but I am writing a review for the listing.
This would be a good bra for someone with shallow breasts, which I am not. I don't know if the problem is that the cup is just too shallow or if it is just generally too small, but I suspect the former. A normal scoop n' swoop spills quite a bit of breast tissue into the middle.
The bra itself is of excellent quality. Everything is well-put together, finished nicely and the little lace details are very nice. This band runs tight and holds up well, as I have worn this bra quite a bit and it still doesn't stretch past 29".
One great thing about this bra is that it has a wide band in the back with three hooks which is hardly ever seen on bras in this size. It feels very comfortable and stable on.
Very comfortable and fit my larger boob very well. There was slight gapping in the smaller one. The straps don't adjust all the way, but they are capable of turning into a halter strap. The flower detailing on the straps I could imagine become annoying though. The band does fit tight, but not too much (I usually wear 28s)
My only strapless/multiway bra, I rarely wear it because I'm afraid of stretching it out. It's also my most expensive bra, but I think it was worth it. The other strapless and multiway bras available aren't half this supportive.
I guess this technically doesn't fit me, because the wires in the front don't lay against my ribcage. But it's so damn comfortable otherwise, I overlook that bit. To me, I just have extra cleavage. I only wear it when my clothing call for clear straps or a halter or x-back bra.
