This is such a beautiful bra. It didn't fit me because the band and cup were too small, but I have a replacement coming in the mail.
Quality: Excellent, just as I always expect from Gorsenia it's well constructed and made.
Fit: Not the best, the band felt too tight since the cups were too small. It wasn't super noticeable at first that the cups were too small, but the amount of cleavage I was getting was more than usual.
Design: This bra wins the design contest. It's so pretty. So, so pretty!
This bra is gorgeous, and it looks great on you. I hope the new size coming is a winner for you. Is the top of the cup stretchy? I’d been eyeing this one, but I’m not sure if the top of the cup will accommodate my FOT boobs.
Happy2BraShop It's beautiful! The top part of the cup is not stretchy in my memory, it's power mesh so it's a little stretchy but the seam itself isn't very elastic.
Happy2BraShop I've got even vertical fullness, so if yo're FoT there's a chance this might work for you! I've found Gorsenia bras to be very accommodating for both FoB and FoT (my shape) which is refreshing.
Happy2BraShop oop, just checked another Rainbow and the cup seam at the top is indeed stretchy!
corvidsandtea Awesome! Thanks for the info. I’d been eyeing this one for a while. I might bite the bullet and order it. :)
Wow, this is a really cool looking bra! Hope the size up fits
Gorgeous bra, and looks good on you too! Hope the next one fits you better.
Ohh this is so pretty!! Good luck on the next one, I hope it fits :)
This by far is the bra I was most excited about getting! It was recommended that this bra band ran small and to size up and the cup ran big. Since this model started at a 70/32 bandsize, I went with what would be a “sister size” to a 65/30H. So glad I did! This bra is freaking amazing! The colors, oh my gosh the colors!! Beautiful soft delicate blue with a light airy hint of floral. The band is a bit stretchy so I can comfortably wear it on the center set of hooks. The back band of course ran small and fits more like a loose ...65/30 band. There are 3x3 hooks on the back. The wires are narrow and cups projected with a narrow gore! Perfect and just what I need. Center gore has a lovely dark aquamarine gem on a tiny bow. Straps are really cute polka dot fulfills adjustable elastic straps. The cups are thicker on the lower portions with a stretch lace along the top of the cup. Perfect for weight fluctuations in breast size. Love love loooove!!! Read more 76 more words
Dare I say it? That is a perfect fit. Very well done.
sweitch Thank you. This is the bra I’d want in every pattern and color if they all fit the same as this one.
Isn't it GREAT?! I love mine too
AGBras I’m so glad you mentioned the fit with this style. I was so sad when I saw they start at 70, but this fits like a dream.
Winner winner! It’s so lovely! Soooo beautiful!
I wasn’t going to buy any more bras this month but ffs this one is so gorgeous and I HAVE TO HAVE IT looks stunning on you!!!
I have it in both styles in my drawer right now: semi-soft (for my Mom) and soft(for me). Both are size 70F. I will post my photos, reviews and measurements next week. martka00 All 3 of us - my mom, myself and Happy2BraShop successfully sister-sized this bra. It is one of the most beautiful Gorsenia bras that I own. The matching Brazilians are also stunning - they have a cut that is fuller/higher, don't cut in ANYWHERE and are more TTS than any other Gorsenia knickers I own.
So beautiful. I dream of semi soft bras....💙💙💙
Thanks April!! I’m gonna check yours measurements to see if I should go up to band 75! Is it also large in the cup?
@martk00 We went up to a 70 band because it isn't made in a 65. I usually take 65 in Gorsenias and wear them on the loosest hook. I am wearing this 70 on the second/middle hook. I wouldn't say that it is big in the cup, but the lace on top is a little more forgiving than on some of my other Gorsenias. It's less stiff - more like Ewa lace. I usually take 65G so I sister sized to 70F and it fits perfectly. They both fit me perfectly - the semi-soft and the soft. It's definitely my second favorite Gorsenia (Paradise is my absolute fave)
Thank you so much 💕💖 I just ordered 70F semi soft and hoping this will fit me 😁
This one is comfort and beauty rolled into two cups of fabulousness. Highly recommend this one ladies.
You get an amazing shape in this bra! Beautiful colours.
About me: Tall roots, low set, centre-full, projected but self-supporting, even vertical fullness, average-to-narrow roots but functionally narrow, somewhat close set, firm tissue. Average width shoulders but muscular-ish.
Overview: Gorsenia is one of my top favourite bra brands. Their styles are very beautiful, the construction is consistent and high quality, and the shape fits me well. Gorsenia is my "summer bra" go-to brand because their bras are soft, unlined and very light and breathable. They also look good if you're wearing a lower neckline or strappy top. The Charlotte is typical Gorsenia: light breathable fabric, deep round bowl, 3-piece cup ...construction, narrow deep UU shape wires, tight band. Most Gorsenia bras are great for FOT and/or centre-full shapes who need a lot of cup depth and immediate projection at the wire. Often it is advised to order one cup size down and sometimes one band up in Gorsenia as they run very deep/large in the cup and tight in the band. I used to order 65K in Gorsenia and it would fit me well, but I have lost weight and I find 65J fits me perfectly, maybe a little loose in the band, but not a lot. The 65 band fits more like a 60.
Details: This bra is a very, very pale silvery pink with some silver thread embroidery on the mesh part of the cup. This bra matches my pale skin tone very well and is almost invisible under light coloured shirts on me. I bought it last year, and have lost weight since so it no longer fits me very well in the cups, but I like it enough to order it again in the next size down (65J) which seems to be a perfect fit in Gorsenia for me now. When I wear it now the straps cling on to the edge of my shoulders (haven't fallen off though!), the gore is very bitey, and the cups wrinkle around the edges, as you can see in my pictures. This is because it is now the wrong size though, not a shape mismatch, and no reflection on the quality of the bra. Read more 267 more words
That shade looks amazing on you! Gorsenia was one of my favorite brands. Haven’t purchased from them in a long while. I’ll have to check them out again. Thanks for the review. :)
Happy2BraShop check out misterna.pl for their Gorsenia selection, they have all the newest ones. If you’re not in the BBC EU you can email them to ask if they’ll ship to your country. jagna.pl also has a good selection!
Rehmania Awesome. Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out. :)
Thanks for the review! Looks like it might be a perfect brand for me as I'm narrow, projected and fuller on top and centre. The sizing info is so helpful! I've been staying away because I thought they don't make 28 bands. Looks like their 65 bands could work for me.
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.
This bra is turquoise, not green as my phone camera suggests.
Overview: Narrow, deep cups, low wings, supportive and soft fabric. This is a grand bra for the narrow rooted, even, center full breast community. However, prepare to alter the upper gore width if you are close set.
Details: Gorgeous!! Gorsenia has opulent aesthetics mastered.
Excellent immediate and center projection.
A 60K Comexim unlined bra was too small for me. Gorsenia half cups and unlined bras are, perhaps, 3 sizes larger than ...Comexim half cups and unlined bras. Definitely check measurements. And, add measurements. Thank you https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
The wires are softer than the hard, biting wires of Panache/Cleo. And, the immediate projection is so good the wire did not bite into my ribs: it held firmly in my IMF. Celebrating.
Gorsenia has helped me understand why Comexim/Ewa Michalak/Curvy Kate/Freya/Cleo/Panache Unlined bras weren't fitting me: I need more center projection and a more narrow gore base. Read more 77 more words
Wow, that's really pretty. And it looks like it would fit me in that size... Are the wires really only 4.3" wide? Perhaps it's even too narrow... Never thought I'd say that, lol
Gorgeous bra! I see what you mean about lots of projection at the wire and center gore.
Beautiful on you and nice fit! In my size range and shape I find Gorsenia to round and flatten my shape more than other Polish brands in soft cups but I also have soft tissue and not full on top.
PS: you are right about sizing...I had to go down too!
That's a promising fit! I may have to consider Gorsenia as a brand. I didn't realize their wires were so narrow. I'm also having problems with immediate projection, centre projection, and tall cups so thanks for the review.
This is a gorgeous bra. Gorsenia has so many beautiful options.
Hmmmmm. :)
@lestalkaboutbras My sister sent this to me, and we guffawed about the incredibly narrow wire. It really is 4.3"
And, the deep plunge they offer has the widest wire I've ever worn: 6.6"-6.8" .Variety :-) Narrow/projected and wide/shallow will find a Gorsenia that fits.....providing one doesn't mind looking like a queen. :-)
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!
OMG I LOVE THIS BRA!! I'm SO excited that I got to try another European brand and . . . and it FITS me!!
Ok, This will also need to be on 2nd hook right away, but thats fine. This is slightly loose on the top - but that generally doesnt bother me. Otherwise it FITS! Great support, narrow wires, nice and deep! And I LOVE the color - not generally a huge yellow fan but i do love this very light lemony yellow and the sweet little embroidered flowers . .. LOVE this bra!! Totally makes this purchase worth it!
Wow it looks so nice. So much better than those sad Fantasies. I love it!
Looks great! Hooray for the bra win! 🙂
This looks great on you! How are the wires? Are they more like on Panache Tango or Ewa Michalak? Or softer?
This is definitely gentler than the Ewa FB, but maybe similar to the SM? It was slightly uncomfortable by the end of the day - my best-fitting FBs last better, but many of my FBs are too tight in the band (but not tight enough for an extender - and the one i wear an extender with is still slightly loose w extender on tightest setting - tho i have a stretchy extender).
I only wore it once, though, and working full time i just have less head-space to pay close attention to my bra!
Yeah! This is beautiful on you! Hope it still is a supportive "keeper."
The bra gods are smiling upon me! I must be cashing in all my good karma points, because this is perfection! It’s a gorgeous muted dusty purple color. It gives a round uplifting shape that I adore. There aren’t any bells or whistles, just a few tiny bows located on the center gore and where the straps meet the cup. The lace is supportive with just the right amount of stretch. Wires are really narrow and I love it! I get a good tack on the center gore. Straps are a wide elastic that are soft and fully adjustable. Back band is firm with evenly distributed elastic so no digging in. I’m about to email Gorsenia and ask them to make this in every color!
That is gorgeous. It looks great on you and the colour is perfect!
This looks gorgeous on you! Pretty colour and great shape!
Wilderness1 Sovavosi Thank you. The color is unlike any color I’ve ever seen done on a bra before. I think this particular cut, three part cup with straight cut upper piece, gives the best fit from this brand. I’m definitely going to be collecting more bras from this brand with this cut. It’s a similar cut to the their half padded bras. A style I also had very good fit luck with.
Ok, now you're just rubbing it in.😉
sweitch Haha I’m just so excited. 😆 It’s been a long time, if ever, since I’ve had a bra that feels like it was made for me.
Just a little jealous. Happy for you though.😁
That looks like a great fit! I definitely need to check this style out.
It looks amazing in you! I can’t wait to try mine when it comes! I’m curious how my soft and fob breasts handle it. Looks beautiful with rounded even tissue, but not sure what it is going to look like without a lot of upper fullness.
gratiat I’ve been very pleased with this brand over all. Definitely worth taking a peek at. Calluna I think this lace, while providing great stability, has flexibility along the upper cup. One of the great things I noticed about Gorsenia’s cuts that have this stretchier lace along the top is how well it works for my weight fluctuations. It definitely molds more to the body vs trying to mold your boobs into a bra cup.
Well, we shall see soon. Sometimes my soft and shallow upper tissue creates a whole different fit in bras. I’m hoping that I will still have a somewhat rounded shape instead of an overly pointy one (natural is ok...pointy is not).
I have This one also and love it. Like the other 2 full lace ones I had to size up to 65H. It looks terrific on you!!!
AGBras It’s a definite favorite right out of the gate. I’ve beeb so pleased with this brand. So glad I was able to see all your reviews on them. I’d have never known about them all. Best part about the whole thing is, not one of the Gorsenia bras eats my armpits! So many brands are have such wide placed straps.
Happy2BraShop it's one of the things I love most about Gorsenia...the strap placement and wing height. They're perfect everytime.
Oh my is this bra sooo pretty! I tried to capture the details in the photos. Second Polish bra, first try Gorsenia.
The band is TTS, cups are narrow and projected enough for me, Straps are short enough for me too.
The fabric is soft but firm enough for support. I have soft tissue short roots centre full and am FOB and it gives me a nice shape. My right breast is smaller than my left hence the slight wrinkling but it doesn’t show through a shirt. I am surprised at how little it gaps at the tops of the cups, which is something I always struggle ...with.
The scalloped lace at the top of the cups ruffle and don’t rest well. I feel like this is the nature of that fabric and may be a problem in all sizes. it doesn’t bother me much, and it doesn’t appear to show through shirts.
I bought this bra on a whim through brastop at a reasonable price.
After wearing this bra for some time, sadly the gore just doesn’t work for me. The wires seem really stiff. I tried pushing the wires down and the gore wires are still pressing into my breast tissue, uncomfortably so. I suppose I could try to overlap the wires...but I still feel like it just won’t work. Sigh. Read more 114 more words
Lovely colour! And glad to see Gorsenia getting more happy wearers, I've been very much liking their bras. In my size, the sizing and fit have been consistent in the different models I tried
Good to know someone has experienced consistency in sizing. I may try another one to see and will be sure to post a review when I do
This colour is everything! So lovely on you. Also, good review — I’ve been thinking of trying Gorsenia myself in the future.
Thanks everyone! Hoping I can deal with the tall gore :/
You’re making me want this bra now! It’s so pretty!!! Not sure the cups are wide enough for me though... but now I’m gonna look into more gorsenia.
dagmarwulfe thanks! This one has very narrow cups, so it depends how narrow you fit into
Rozelyna thank you :) total fluke for me it’s my first Gorsenia!
When I first saw this bra online on the Gorsenia website, I really was not all that excited. It wasn't that I didn't like the style of the bra. It was the colour that bothered me. It looked fuschia, but not really fuschia...it looked kind of flat in colour (if that makes any sense all).
In my true M.O., I started looking for other photos of it - photos on Instagram, or other bloggers' sites...but, still, I came up with nothing. So at full price, I passed.
When it went on sale for 50% off though, I decided to ask MagdaBras4you to order it anyway.
A few ...days later, Magda received it and sent me photos of it .
Side note: I love Magda's photos. When she buys me a bra set, she sends me photos. She's in Poland and I am over here, across the Pond in Canada. It takes 2 weeks sometimes for stuff to come in the mail. So, she sends me photos. Magda knows that I am eager to see the true colour in daylight, to get the lens up close to see the details, the seams, the textures of the fabrics and intricacies of the lace and embroideries, etc. - all the stuff that you can't really see in stock photos. Am I alone here, in thinking, "ok. it's nice to see that bra and panties set on that perfectly coiffed body in perfect studio lighting from 15 feet away, but seriously. People. Show me the details. Show me what will make me want to buy your bra over someone else's. Especially if it costs more than $25..."
OK. Rant over. Back to my point: Madera is a gorgeous intense shade of fuschia that is feminine but all grown up. There is no punk rock or Barbie doll pink here.
If you're looking at my pics...see the one that's a close up of the gore charm. That's the best representation of the true colour.
And the lace is beautiful. It is thicker than the lace used on the last, black lace Gorsenia bra called Caren that I reviewed. It is much closer to the quality and texture of the lace used on an Ewa Michalak BM (just less stretchy).
The construction is classic 3-part soft cup balcony. Stretch lace on the outside. Colour-matched mesh lining on the inside. There is one vertical seam in the lower half of the cup and there's the diagonal/horizontal seam that creates the top of the cup.
Yes, there are clear plastic stability strips lining the top edges of the cups.
The cradle and gore and wings are all are covered in lace, and part of the straps have lace also.
The straps are nice and wide on this size. It's the one thing I like most about 65H versus 65G. The straps are wider at this size. They adjust all the way up to the lace.
The band itself is colour-matched powermesh. There is side-boning, but as shown in the photograph, it is soft and flexes easily. It causes me no discomfort whatsoever. There are 3 rows of 2 hooks and eyes. I consider it to be TTS. Super soft and comfortable.
The gore is adorned with a small satin bow and one of the more intricate crystal charms that I have seen.
This bra fits me wonderfully. I wore it for 24 hours straight and never adjusted it or wished I could rip it off. It gives a nice soft, natural but slightly rounded shape.
****However, it must be noted that this bra IS a 65H and I usually wear 65G in Gorsenia softcups. All 3 of the full lace softcups that I ordered from last season's collection were sized small and I had to re-order. Yes, it was an annoying sizing inconsistency, but at least it was consistently inconsistent - meaning all 3 full lace bras were smaller that the half knitwear/lace Gorsenias that I own.****
Measurements are recorded and demonstrate everything that I love about Gorsenia softcups: narrow U-shaped wires, deep cups with a lot of projection at the wire (without expecting bullet-like projection at the bra apex) and they don't eat my armpits with ultra-wide-set straps and high wings.
Classic mid-briefs/hipsters make the set. They are a perfect size S (fits more like a North America or UK size XS). Lace trim on the front and back is a nice extra. This cut is super comfortable for all day, every day wear, even for a Brazilian-loving girl like me. Read more 640 more words
The colour of this thing, omg! It's absolutely amazing. Grey-violet, so so nice.
AprilGoulding has raved about her Gorsenias and seeing as I'm trying to find options other than EM because of the inconsistencies with the brand, I decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint, however I think this might a cup too small for me (as this is technically 30G), but I'm afraid in 65J it will be too large? Does that make sense?
This bra checks a lot of marks for me.
At this size, the bra has three part cups with a horizontal seam, and a vertical seam with stretch lace on ...top. The support on these cups is superb! Seriously, they feel very sturdy but at the same time it doesn't feel bulky and the lace isn't scratchy or anything. The tension between stretch lace and bottom cup is even so there is no in cup quadding (which I get with a lot of stretch lace bras). It has very narrow wires (they really are EM narrow, honestly), but they don't feel so rigid they poke. Overall, the cups are comfortable, if a little too short at the sides (because the band is not very wide, I think). The shape, though! Perfect round shape (as round as it gets for me, heh). I've learned not to expect this shape and never seem to quite get it unless the bra is too small, so maybe in 65J I wouldn't get this same shape. Big big minus--the cups have the horrendous elastic on top. These, of course, cut in. If I take them off, will the stretch lace be able to support the tops of my boobs, though? I don't dare do it. The stretch lace does feel very flimsy... I'm afraid the elastic is what's holding the bra together.
The band is a 65 through and through. Equal to my EM 65s (the non-rogue ones). However, a big minus is that there are only two hooks and because of that I feel the stability of the bra suffers. I would be willing to pay extra to get that third row https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />. The band doesn't feel too tight or too loose, just right.
The gore is not too wide, but it's wider than EMs. It tacks, no surprise there. The straps adjust long enough for me, surprisingly. They have very little stretch to them as well, so it's pretty lucky that they're long enough otherwise this bra would be unwearable for me.
Overall, I like this bra. It almost fits. Almost. I think I will wear it anyway as this is as close as I have to a fitting bra that is not EM right now.
edit: so I cut off the elastic. Not too much of a difference, but it does lose shape and get some in cup quadding without it. Read more 370 more words
It looks wonderful on you. Glad it's almost perfect, and hopefully your next Gorsenia will be even better! 💕
I do really like the way it looks on me (and in general the bra is beautiful). I'm wondering what would happen if I removed the elastic..............
Maybe just clip it in a few places to release part of the tension but not the full support?
I have actually considered that! We will see what I do, I just washed it and it's already dry (ah, 25+ degree weather) so I'm gonna wear it today and see how it fares. I have a wedding to attend on Saturday so this might be a perfect bra for it!
Fingers crossed that it works. 🍀
Oh man! I ordered this exact same bra, same size and everything, from Magda; it's on it's way, with five other bras! This makes me excited, though: based on your review, I think it's gonna fit me. Regarding the elastic issue: do you have a seam ripper? That would be the best way to remove the elastic if you're gonna do it; just go slowly and carefully, otherwise you might rip the lace. If this fits similarly to an Ewa BM bra, I think clipping the elastic will be OK. There isn't elastic along the top edge of the BMs, and these are both stretchy lace, so theoretically, it should still lay flat, right? Depending on how mine fits and if it causes me issues, I may end up clipping my elastic, so I'll let you know what happens if you haven't already done so with yours!
It is a much much flimsier lace than BMs for sure. Which is mainly why I'm hesitant about cutting it off.
Glad you got a good fit! Maybe you can hone in on what you are looking for with Gorsenia. Glad to see more good Gorsenia reviews since AprilGoulding caught all of our attention with her rave reviews.
I am going to give 65J a try and we'll see gow it goes! Honestly this is a lot of bra for the price I paid. I have an Ava on the way as well so we'll see how it fares compared to this.
Beautiful bra! Love the colour. I’m curious about the elastic strip and if you do anything to it to alleviate the issues it presents. I have kinda held off on the brand because of it. So I’m following you with my information on the size and elastic.
You should give it a try. The cups are very deep
I'm still waiting for my full lace styles.
However, i do have Havana which is a half lace.
I don't find that the lace is flimsier...but it does not have the thin mesh behind it like on the Ewa BM.
I really don't get the impression that the plastic strip holds the bra together. Usimg a seam ripper to remove parts of it will surely make it more open on top.
I also think Gorsenia offers "a lot of bra for the money". Its why I keep buying more :P
It isn't really elastic that's on the top of the cups on Gorsenia bras - it's a narrow strip of clear plastic that has some give to it. N.B. The Paradise does not have this strip - the black band that makes the top of the cup is elasticized. So if you're gonna quad in this style, you're gonna quad. You can't do any surgery on this style.
On a Krisline bra, however, there is actual elastic. It's very narrow, soft and color-matched to the embroidered top cup panel, but it's real elastic.
I have been trying to find out the purpose of these strips - whether it is structural or for fit/cosmetic reasons.
They never bother me, because I am so round and have such short, steep roots that there is no soft tissue for them to dig into and sometimes - in the cases like with Krislines where they are actual elastic that shirs the top of the cup - they act in my favour, as they work to close the top of the cup.
I don't think the structural integrity of the bra would be compromised by removing them - this will most certainly open up the top of the cup.
If you do it, you will quickly find out if the cup is really too small or if it was the strip creating the dreaded quadding.
As for size differences between cups in Gorsenias, brasaremean I can only tell you what I have noticed between 65G and 65H.
I have a Margo in both sizes as it was one of the first Gorsenias that I bought and I was trying to determine my best size.
65G fits me everywhere like a glove. There is no extra room, not even a millimeter, anywhere.
In the 65H, there is space at the top of the cup only - right where someone with very soft tissue and/or tall roots would experience quadding.
Otherwise, the differences between these 2 sizes is not all that great.
I posted a photo -you can see the diff between 65G and 65H.
Please keep in mind that of all my Gorsenias (yes, I have more than a dozen yikes!) Margo has the most "ruffled/shirred" top.
1. They don't fit like my half lace/embroidery styles. Cups aren't quite as deep. Read on...
2. The black Caren is too small while its fushia twin Madera fits
3. The Madera and Simena fit but just barely. Barely.
4. The wires on these styles aren't as deeply U shaped
5. The wings seem a bit lower
6. Outside edge of cup under armpit isn't as high and/or as tight to my body
7. I got a tiny bit of quadding due to the strip, so I went to work on stretching it by running it through my fingers and tugging gently. It worked. I just needed that little bit extra.
It's strange how the fit is so different in these styles... MagdaBras4you also sent me a Gorsenia unlined balconette...reviews and measures of all to come next week.
On a side note, she also sent me unlined half cup in Krisline, 2 Kinga forms and an EM Triumf plunge- which fits perfectly!!
You look amazing in it. 😍 If you want to have three rows of hooks in the future, please send me a message. This I can change for you. ;)
In my size range, Gorsenia soft cups are deep with narrow wires, lower wings and narrower straps that aren't as wide set as EM...they are awesome for my petite frame.
Pale mint colour with embroidery in mint, vanilla and cream. So pretty!
Small bow with a crystal at the gore.
Tacks! Yes.
Band is smaller 65 than KL. More like an EM 65. I can't go tighter than the first set of hooks.
Light material...great support even in summer. It's SLIGHTLY sheer.
I can't say enough good.
In stock photos, the panties look like boyshorts, but in size S, on me, they are more like hipsters are full bikinis. The material is soft mucrofibre and the sheer embroidered sides match the top of the bra. Also - a true small. As in smaller than EM 36 briefs. Love.
Thanks to MagdaBras4you for helping me get Gorsenias (and Krisline and EM) for me.
My shape: FOB, soft tissue, narrow roots and shoulders, projected Appearance: Simply stunning light blue bra, with really elegant orange and silver embroidery. These Polish lingerie companies really know how to make a beautiful bra! The gore has a tony blue crystal charm, and the embroidery design travels up the straps, as well. Fit: Sadly, this bra doesn't fit me in many different areas. Just as MamaPagan warned me, the straps are too wideset, which I thought would be avoided if I ordered the 65 band instead of the 70. I was wrong. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> The cups are full and deep, but have major gaping ...for me. I think this is because the fabric is non-stretch mesh. This would work better for someone who has more even fullness, and perhaps even someone who is FOT. I may try to move the straps over and pinch the tops of the cups at the gore to tighten them up a bit, but I'm afraid I would just ruin the bra. I'll probably list this to see if anyone here wants to buy it, and if not, I may attempt the bra surgery. Read more 84 more words
Gorsenia would be a great brand if it weren't for those darn straps!
At least you're adding a bunch of wonderful data to the site, so there is a plus side to the bras that don't fit well, right? I know I appreciate the data even if it's not my size, as every bra added helps strengthen the site. :-)
This bra is beautiful! Too bad about the straps :(
I'm sorry it doesn't work for you, because you are right, it is stunning. As soon as your post went up I started looking for it online with no luck. I think it is from a couple years back, and they have moved on. I reviewed a @Gorsenia Emilly above and I am going to add a @ Gorsenia Claire soon. Gorsenia is just so beautiful. And not overly expensive!
The cut of this bra seems the same as the @ Verona Soft Underwire Bra, however the material of this bra is not as soft as Verona. This bra suits my shape well..it has room at the gore for my centre fullness and the wires are suitably narrow, the cups are deep and projected, and provides good support and shape for my soft breast tissue.
This looks great on you. I love how the lace continues through the gore... very pretty!
Pretty colour and it looks great on you!
Gorgeous!! Hooray for center projection!!
The bra looks very nice on you! I've been curious to try Gorsenia, but I still haven't figured out their sizing. There are so few measurements in the G+ sizes, so I'm not quite sure what size I need.
This bra looks good on you! Gives you great shape. And I love the color!
That lace and embroidery though! There's no denying they are both beautiful details plus this wine red color is delicious. Another soft cup pretty from Gorsenia that is checking all the right boxes! The fit is fantastic going one cup size down again for my FOB and pendulous shape. Band is TTS. 😍❤️💯
Gorgeous colour! Do you find that Nessa bras give nice centering uplift?
This bra again looks like it was made for you. And so pretty!
Wilderness1 Nessa bras do give a nice centered uplift compared to Gorsenia (which this one is) which is a little rounder and not quite as centered. I think it's due to the taller cup of Gorsenia that flattens a little more whereas Nessa pushes your tissue all forward.
Thanks letstalkaboutbras :)
roxannelovesbras oh, oops, I hadn't even noticed this wasn't a Nessa! It has that same intricate look that the Nessa one's have, and this one looks just as lovely! I'm envious of your collection, and I'm making my Christmas wish list ;)
This is my best fitting bra to-date. In the picture there is a bit of wrinkling, but after I adjusted the straps that went away. I really love this bra, I ended up with two of them by accident, but that is ok because I wear this bra all the time. It gives a nice shape, it's pretty and it's comfortable.
I love this bra. It has lots of space at the wire without a pointy or high apex. I would say it has a rounder shape overall. The wires are narrow and the cups are fairly tall and deep. ...The wires are a UU shape and are pretty stiff.
A bit about me: I have tall roots and am functionally FOT; low-set; close set and centre-full; narrow root; shallow with depth needed at the wire but little apex fullness; self supporting. The Gorsenia shape is a perfect match for me.
This bra is very comfy despite the gore being a little higher than most bras I like. The power mesh is firm and not stretchy at all, it doesn't feel soft, per se, but it isn't scratchy, and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Read more 96 more words
That's a really pretty bra! Good that you have two! Love the eyelash lace.
Considering you're close set and center full, does the gore bother you at all?
Wondering if it would work on me (;
I got this bra recently too! It’s brilliant (fit and appearance) and is one of my go-to bras now :)
bubblegum the gore bothered me a little the first time I wore it, but it hasn't since. It's pretty narrow, being only 2cm it's only as wide as the wire channels through almost all the the vertical wire curve. It doesn't flare out at the gore to separate the cups until the bottom.
Oh good gravy. Cakes. On. A. Plate! But I’m not complaining. I’ve been looking for a vertical seamed bra for a while. I ordered this the same time I ordered my Arctic, so I ordered this 65H. I’m glad I didn’t go for an I cup. The cups would have been way too wide and the straps too far apart for me. I do feel the cups are more of a shallow wide fit compacted to their soft cups and semi-soft cups. Back band is true to size for a 30, with a 2x3 hooks. Straps are fully detachable front and back and fully adjustable. So you could ...easily swap out straps to clear or something fancy if you have them or wish to purchase some. The inside of the cup has cookie pockets, but the bra did not come with any. If you don’t like the cookie pockets, they are only attached at the wire and can easily be removed by cutting it out. There’s a pretty nude lace overlay, over nude cups. There is a small disco ball looking gem on the center gore along with a mesh covered keyhole cutout. I get a soft-tack with this bra most likely due to a shallower cup. This bra gives me an extremely round In Yo Face boobs. Again, not complaining. Sometimes I want a little extra oomph.

AGBras I’m so so thankful I saw your reviews on the brand. Had I never seen them, I wouldn’t have a clue they existed. What’s strange is the bra recommendation on here only ever give me brands I used to buy that somewhat fit a million years ago. It never recommends anything outside what I’ve entered. Even then, it keeps recommending bra brands that are always too wide for me. This is where data and publicly shared reviews become so important. It allows people to branch out.
My first Black Friday package arrived, and this bra is very appropriately an excellent everyday black bra that fits https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> My shape - short roots, average to narrow roots, even fullness and some inner fullness. I need a lot of immediate projection, short wire/wing, average projection in the middle of the cup, and a gore that's rather wide at the bottom but not too wide at the top, and cups that have room for inner fullness. This bra works so well for all of this! One thing that works for me, but I can imagine might be a problem on someone with narrower shoulders ...are the wide set straps. A bit about construction and materials - the two lower parts of the cup, only the top lace part of the cup is made from two layers of fabric. The cup is made fully from non stretch fabrics - which gives a very secure fit. The cup depth I've measured just by placing the measuring tape in the cup, when measuring by stretching the cup on the knee the depth is 34cm. The top of the cup is closed off with a thin piece of transparent plastic. This is actually quite soft, and it wasn't uncomfortable while wearing it. I don't have the feeling that it makes the cup more closed on top, I think it's just there to reinforce the embroidery, because the edge of the tulle is cut to follow the pattern of the embroidery. The shape the bra gives is round and uplifted. The materials are sturdy and the bra is well made. The design is simple but the bra looks quite pretty for a basic black bra. One other thing to mention is that there is side boning. It's not uncomfortable although I'm not usually a fan. The wires are quite firm but not too tall under the arm, with a wing of 11cm. The band is made from one layer of material and it runs true to size. From what I've seen, the sizing for both cups and band have been very consistent in Gorsenia bras. Overall this is a very nice basic black bra that's already made its way in my daily rotation. Read more 263 more words
This was my second attempt at finding a padded half cup that fits from Gorsenia via Othereden.co.uk. My first was 65E - Gorsenia » Margo Padded Balconette (K280) which was a little bit too small in the cup. Patti fits much better, and it's fun to finally have a really vibrant color in my bradrobe again. Just look at that coral! This model comes with cookie pockets, unlike Margo. It's the ideal cut for me - ample room at the wire, tapers enough on top that I don't spill out, but doesn't cut into my roots at all. My only quibble is that the back closure materials can be a little scratchy on my sensitive skin for the first few wears. Full review on my blog!
This bra feels made for me, right down to the pretty details and colors. Really narrow wires and perfect projection. The only things about this bra that are a little less awesome are the loose embroidery and the total roundness of the cups. I know a lot of women like that really round shape, but I am always looking for a slightly more natural or retro look. I expect that from Polish companies though. I can wear this bra for hours and still feel very comfortable. Love it.
Such a gorgeous bra! I adore the straps, too. Beautiful on you! :-)
Thank you :D
Wow your bra is so pretty on you and the embroidery is gorgeous. And I agree with you on preferring the more retro look with bras. I am glad that there are bras from Poland that give that retro look.
I just bought a Samamta that has the retro shape some of my Fantasie bras have, so I'm quite happy with it :D
This bra is gorgeous, and it looks great on you. I hope the new size coming is a winner for you. Is the top of the cup stretchy? I’d been eyeing this one, but I’m not sure if the top of the cup will accommodate my FOT boobs.
