    70G

    Didn't fit

    TLDR: I bought this bra in 70G and 70F, they were on sale so it was an experiment, but too wide set straps and incorrect cup depth didn’t work out in the end. I’ve been thinking Balconette styles by Gorsenia are a better fit than Full Cup styles, but it hasn’t quite worked out in my favor consistently yet.


    QUALITY
    Excellent quality from Gorsenia. Solid seams, sturdy fabric, nice and sturdy yet flexible wires.

    FIT
    OK. The cups were too big in this size, but too small in the previous size, so the scaling must be a little wonky on this bra.
    The straps were even wider in this size ... and to add to that, pretty wide set, so they were cutting into my ToS and would probably slide off if I wore the bra for a few hours.

    DESIGN
    This bra is really pretty! Which is why I purchased it. The bottom half of the cup has black fabric with greyish-silver abstract marble or floral patterns. The top half is black mesh and the ruffles along the cup edge really caught my attention here, they had a really nice shape and weren’t annoying. There’s no ruffles on the bottom of the bra lining the band, which is nice since they tend to roll into my skin and just irritate it a little.
    The gore has the traditional Gorsenia charm, a little black bow and is all mesh. The point where the strap meets the cup also has a cute little bow on each side, traditional for Gorsenia.

    FIT
    OK. The cups were too small so the band wasn’t any comfortable, but the numbers say the band is average for this size and brand and it didn’t feel too small. The straps were quite wide on this bra and also wide set, so they were cutting into my ToS and would likely slide off during wear. Since the cups were too small I wasn’t filling out the bottom, as well as the fabric ... cutting in at the top.

    Technical data review only. Purchased only to frankenbra together with 70E Orchid that's woefully incapable of working even as a sleep bra. Will not be trying this on

    A mystery:

    While both Orchids are technically ... sister size to one another this 65F Orchid looks much more like a projected plunge with immediately dept at wire and evenly full projection to apex, wire is a full inch narrower than the sister size up from it! There is a lovely worthless jabby bit of plastic boning sewn into the seam between wing and band which I don't recall having in the original Black Orchid (cannot see any slits in seam channel from removing one, anyway)

    Meanwhile 70E Orchid has a wider wire, taller gore, lower wing, and more of a 'pushup' cup shape, rather appeared to be made for wider, upper-inner full shapes in mind.

    Both Black orchids have the same narrow full band with center scoop along bottom of gore, narrow but medium heavier weight shoulder strap elastics, disappointingly short/narrow band with chronically understaffed hook & eye in back Materials are sleek, smooth, well matched to fit for the size indicated. Construction is impeccable with no unfinished raw edges or loose threads.

    65E

    Didn't fit

    Overall this bra is an ok fit. The gore doesn't tack and the wires sometimes sit on breast tissue, but it's pretty close to tacking. It's hard to find bras that fit perfectly and this one is close enough for me to keep. The top elastic does cut in as I'm very full on top but it's not horrible. The shape is also a little pointy. My biggest complaint is that the material starts to feel really scratchy and itchy by the end of the day.

    Also be aware this brand uses EU sizing, so if you order from a UK or US source the size is probably converted. So when I order from Brastop I order a 30DD, but my tag says 65E. Same goes for the other Polish brands I've ordered like Ava, Kinga, and Nessa.

    Holy Baby's First Seance Witchtitties, what have I gotten myself into?
    While there is overall fullness built into this style, it's less generous near the wire a la Epic Lift (tm) & feels like this bra wants to make me very... triangular, which isn't exactly what the cup pattern would suggest (fully front & center style). Considering I'm nowhere near conical when au naturale, this is an odd feat.
    Also, to those who need every immediate depth, beware the beast of not-enough-space-at-wire creating in-cup quadding ... on the bottom & pushing everything to apex into a conical shape. You know the one. Wicked Bitch of the east, Who? Oh her. We don't speak anymore, mutters the wench of the West.

    Those who aren't that full near the root carry on, this bizzy mama gotcha. RIP my dumbness for being very full & wide in this one, everything went fully horizontal and strongly projected so I guess we doing that now! Better start rummaging for those retro 50's pinup dinner dresses.

    Narrower, taller cup than other gorsenia's I've tried (marita, casablanca, paradise, magic rose). Feels like there is a general side sling/sideboob suppressing action in the cup design, which I see more in gorsenia halfcup's shaping.

    Not very full in the cup but definitely has decent even projection, sufficient depth, fit is closed off on top so even & FOT beware. It's not into my sideboob but it also isn't painful & wires are ok so it stays.
    Update: removed wires, the gore floats about 2" but can just get by as a nifty sleep bra, as the displacement of boob upward from tight lower cup cuts into tail of spence when upright.

  6. This is narrowest bra for my own. The top of cup has no stretchy elastic band, so soft tissue friendly I thought. Gorsenia seems to be reducing production of this size, so I'm worried about that narrow bras will decrease.
