So I gave Gorsenia a try since this one and the other I'll be reviewing ran large in the cups. Although this is the case, the cups are still too small.. but they're also too big at the same time. It's a bit of a wonky construction if you ask me.

The wires are too wide, so there's empty space along the side of the cups (under my arms).
The top of the cups have too much fabric (or maybe my short roots can't fill it?)
My pendulous breasts REALLY pull the cups down, which in turn makes the band ride up. Not a good combination.
The seam on the cups cut into my tissue on both cups. My firmer tissue on my right breast has alot more of a glaring issue than my softer and bigger side.

It's just a weird bra in terms of fit for me. :/

This bra is not owned any more

  Oh dear, shame it doesn't fit! It's not pendulousness per se that is making the band ride up--it's probably due to the fact that a too-large cup, with extra unfilled fabric on the sides and elsewhere, effectively makes the whole bra fit looser. Too-large cups also reduces the surface tension of the cup and can create this weird effect of the seams looking like they're indenting your tissue. If you like it a lot perhaps a cup down would be worth trying?

  All for the love of Bra Science. 💙
  Welcome to my world of bra confusion. 😄

  Sorry this one doesn’t work for you.

  wendybien I don't think sizing down is going to fix the problem as it's just going to cut further into my super soft tissue.

  @mamapagan Haha, true! Maybe it'll work better for someone else! :)

  @sovavosi Hey, that's okay. At least I know now! :)

  isn't it "interesting" how they can fit and function in different size ranges? I love Gorsenias...their wires are just as narrow as EM in my size and they are so light.

  AprilGoulding Many brands fail to meet the mark at the upper limit of their cup ranges, so we at this range are used to our experiences not matching other ranges.
  Part of it is "guess" or "assumption" scaling instead of actual live bodies to test the bras on. This is often problematic for us. The general rules than may apply to other ranges rarely do in ours. :-/

  AprilGoulding Interesting is definitely a word for it 🤣 it's such a shame because I actually really like it. It's such a nice shade of yellow. Very spring-timey :p I'm very happy your Gorsenias work!

  @mamapagan True. :)

  Yes...I've noticed from you girls how different it is in your size range.
  I think there's a couple of thresholds for us with small bands especially...one where the cup exceeds DD and then again where it exceeds H/I-ish.
  Hmmmmmm...you think they'd be smart and use live fit models. Its not like you're THAT rare.

  AprilGoulding With several of us right here on BtB, I agree! 😄

  Yep. It can get a little ridiculous. I've got to say, I've noticed the hurdle with other bra brands myself. Most can't make it over to ours safely without lots of.. crashes 😋

  I'd be more than willing to help out. Bra science, man.

  Me too. I got annoyed when Her Room said conical breasts don't exist over a C cup. I guess I don't exist, no need to make anything fit me 🙄
