Used to fit

For some reason when I gave this away and marked it not owned, BBase got rid of the info on it? Stupid.

Anyways.

Really miss this style. It had a lot more projection from the wire, rather than just overall projection in the very center of the cup. The wires as with all Gorsenia were a super tall narrow 'U' shape which didn't work the best with my \___/ shaped IMF. But I took them out and changed for some Emerald Erin ones that worked better, even if the gore was higher at the time than I preferred.
This gave the lower outer cup a more pronounced wrinkle at the outer wire that couldn't be helped, but it didn't fight with my side-heavy shape (no side spillage). At the time I began to notice everything else was fitting on the smaller side and began cycling up through comexims, but this style lasted a bit longer in rotation. Probably about 5-6 months all told (around when I needed 28G/GG).

Marita was also very dense-tissue friendly, didn't try to shove or smash me around like some other styles in this brand. However due to the weirdly wide/bottom full nature of of my shape vs marita's generally overfull but not deep shape, it did feel like the center inner of the cups at gore eventually became tight and flattening. So in turn I concluded it wasn't a great style for inner fullness at the time, when in actuality I was in a much too small size that was difficult to diagnose due to having extra short breasts that only grow horizontally (yeah I know you'd think they would look like -- -- but anatomy is a trickster and we got o o instead).

I class Gorsenia as generally fuller & narrower than UK brands, making the exception for Katherine Hamilton and a few discontinued Cleos. They come in a lot of shapes! But there's a few trademark similarities they share with other brands: Tall wires. Cups are flattening from the outer side. Lack of Plunges. No stretchy forgiving upper cup band (these may be 2 exceptions! casablanca & I forget what else right now). Shallow halfcups that run smaller than their regular balconette styles. For some these are crucial needs, for me it's an annoying dealbreaker

So musing on what else out here had a similar fit or shape? I can't really say this has a polish analogue in Comexin or the shallower/fuller Kinga. Back to the Uk brands:

Unlike Panache Tango this was narrower but had MORE ROOM EVERYWHERE!
Like all Gorsenia there is a tendency to push the sides forward in a subtle manner.
Like Tango, Marita is a well centered round style.
Conclusion- Marita's depth & fullness spoiled me so that when I began trying Tango it felt unnaturally closed in in the cups and strangely small in much larger sizes with equally larger wires.
