This was my first ever Avocado order, so determining sizing was a bit of a shot in the dark! Avocado's size table put me in between 60H and 65G, so I went for the 65G in fear that the 60 band would be too tight. In reality, this band is a little too loose on me (I'm starting on the last hook straight off the bat). The wires are on the average-wide side in this model-- too wide for my roots, but excellent for someone who loves Polish bras but can't normally wear them due to the narrow wires. The (ultra narrow!) gore is quite high, but ... after bending it outward ever so slightly the bra is comfortable for a full day of wear. I ordered the RV style hoping for a more rounded shape than the NF; unfortunately I'm not quite filling out the the top of the cups and have quite a bit of wrinkling on my smaller side. Over the course of the day, my boobs sort of settle in the bottom of the cups and the shape goes from roundish to more triangular. I think that this issue is worsened by the extra slack in the band, and is not necessarily characteristic of the RV shape as a whole... this bra would probably fit much better on someone in the 30G/32FF UK range.
As for the design, I have no criticism whatsoever. Jade green mesh, mauvey-taupe accents, and fan-shaped embroidery with shimmery turquoise threads... so unique and so beautiful! The materials and entire construction of the bra feels very high quality. I love Calypso so much I'll probably list this bra and consider re-ordering if I can get a better understanding of sizing.

This was the first Avocado I fell in love with. I still haven't taken the plunge and ordered it but you're making me think I should. I don't understand the different shapes though.
