Didn't fit

NOTE: This is a narrower Gorsenia. The Bratabase average may be correct for narrower models. Please view the individual bra measurements to ensure you purchase what will best fit.

Whoa! I ordered this K221 (K200+ series) bra to test my hypothesis: there are two or more unlined Gorsenia patterns. This is the same size as my 65H Caramel, K000-K199 series. And, as I suspected, these are very different bras!! Bratabase continues to flag my measurements because of these differences. Please read more so you won't be bamboozled by the pattern differences.

The 65H differences (K200+ vs K000-199):
Gore--1" shorter than the K000-K199 models.
Cup width--1.2" more narrow than K000-K199
Cup depth--.7" deeper than K000-K199
Wire length--.9" shorter than K000-K199

These are dramatic dimensional differences, and I contend they are different patterns. The K000-K199 series fits wider, immediately projected, center-full breasts whereas the K200+ fits narrow, immediately projected, center-full breasts. 4.8" of width and 10.7" of depth: Cheri is incredibly narrow and deep.

Looking at the photos, you'll see I can't fill this cup. But, the 65H Caramel was a bit small. When selecting one of these lovely bras, please pay attention to model numbers and read the individual measurements per bra rather than the average. The average in Bratabase today excludes data from the K000-K199 models because it is so different from the K200+ models. So, if you order a K150 model, Bratabase will tell you it has a narrow cup width which is incorrect.

The color is gorgeous. I had little light today, but the color is a purple brown--mauve. This is one of my favorite "nude-ish" bra designs.

The cup, like several other Gorsenia models, provides excellent center projection. The gore width remains too wide for me at .8". The immediate projection may be great in this model, but when a cup is too narrow and I can't fit near the wire, I conclude otherwise. Someone more narrow than I will tell you the immediate projection is excellent https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> The fabric is lightweight and supportive. And, the low gore height a welcome relief from the K000-K199's 1" taller gore.

The 4.8" cup width was too narrow for my comfort. If you have center-full, narrow, immediately projected breasts, you'll want to try the @Gorsenia K200+ models. Wider, projected, center-full breasts, try Gorsenia K000-199 models.

    Jj, Nesoa, is it possible to split these model numbers into two different cuts? right now, all the unmeasured models and sizes default to average which is not strictly accurate?

    Gorsenias variations in width are nice because they offer something for every shape, but SO confusing to me! I'd love to try more of their bras, but I'm hesitant due to the differences in the width and height of the cups.

    Very very helpful, these in-brand model comparisons. Thanks a lot!

    Gorsenia has definitely climbed higher on my wishlist since you wrote about their 200-fit style!
