  1. Toffee Half Padded Bra (G181)

    70G

    Didn't fit

    Gorsenia styles listed in ascending order of immediate projection:
    Deep Plunge
    Half-padded
    Fully padded
    Unlined

    This is a delightful orange sherbet- like, half- padded Gorsenia. It is more immediately projected than the deep plunge, but less projected than the fully-padded model. The apex projection, is excellent. This style will fit shallow-average breasts with apex projection needs very well, but is not ideal for the more immediately projected among us. Additionally, firmer breasts will fit better because my melted-marshmallow-soft, center-full breasts quad near the cup seam at the gore. Firmer and less-center full breasts will fit well in this model.

    Despite it not fitting me, it is exceptionally comfortable. The cotton-lined cups are SO ... soft. The lace doesn't bother my sensitive skin. The color looks fantastic on both dark and pale skin. Personally, this color causes me to smile. It reminds me of the many times my grandmother purchased orange sherbet for me 35+ years ago. <3 If you like soft materials, this is a great option. My experience with these padded bras ensure more in my future.

    The band is one layer; not my preferred level of support. But, it is true to size, non-irritating, and effortless to wear.

    Love this bra, but it doesn't fit my projected pair as well as the fully padded Toffee....in the same color, of course https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

    65H

    Fits

    I don't know why I waited so long to try Gorsenia out - this is one of the most comfortable bras I've ever worn. The cups run deep and projected, so definitely try a cup size down - unless you're EXTREMELY full on top and very projected. I love how lightweight and sheer the Paradise bra is while still offering incredible support and shape. The cups are made up of two layers of very fine tulle - one very light beige/illusion mesh, and then overlaid with a colour (red, in this case), in a 3-part shape with satin binding across the seams. I love the simple overbust strap ... and eyelash lace accent. My only issue is that it's a 65 (UK 30) band, so I am already wearing it on the tightest hook and I worry I won't get as much wear out of it that I would like since it will be a regularly worn style. I'm unsure if it comes in 60 (28) bands at all, but it doesn't on the Brastop site where I bought mine from.

    65H

    Fits

    Gorsenia Margo Unlined Balconette (K-279) is very comfortable balconette for me, it fits my body shape very well. The straps are thin and cute, but they do not hurt. Whole bra is of very cute flowery design, though lower part of cups loses its color by time, sadly (as seen on my pictures).
    The cup is slightly bigger than most of my 65H bras, I would call it "big H".
    It stretches nicely, but at the same time holds everything in place and stays where it should.
    I recommend this bra - though be careful when choosing the proper size - it was a bit too big when i bought it last year, but now I got liitle more fat due to coronavirus stay-at-home and it fits perfectly https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

      the lace looks like it's meant to curl at the top the way it does. Like "look at me. I'm lace. I'm dainty. Oh la la."

    • Actually it maybe really is :) I just noticed that there is a silicone strap near the lace (never noticed that earlier!) and i think it could make it behave like this :)

      Those straps are really pretty.

      So many of us have corona-boobs right now!

    3/29/20: Unfortunately this bra is just a little too big for me now. I have some unfilled room song the bottom of the cup along the wire and the wires are too wide for me. The band is also very stretchy and even on the tightest hooks it rides up. But I still love it and hope to find in a size down some day.

    7/15/19: Margo, I profess my love for you!! First off she’s beautiful! A lovely nude background with lavender purple flowers and green leaves on the print with a matching pattern in the embroidered lace for the top portion of the cup. The top ... portion has a nude fine mesh layer under it. The bottom of the cup is a silky smooth fabric. The band is quite stretchy and I’m able to wear this on the tightest set of hooks. The wires are narrow and comfortable. The center gore has a very tiny nude bow with a little lavender and cream cameo pendent. The straps are nude with a sewn on matching stretchy adornment up the first 6 inches of the strap. And the best part? She fits like a dream! Another Gorsenia win!

    3/29/20: While I love the color of this bra, the fit is just so funky and gives an odd shape. Also, this bra squeaks insanely bad! It’s beyond annoying in both fit and sound. So buh bye it goes!

    7/9/19: The pictures don’t do the color of this bra justice. It’s a beautiful berry color. It’s very comfortable with the band firing spot on. The elastic is well distributed along the the top and bottom of the backband, so no digging in. The straps are soft yet have just the right amount of stretch to them. The wires are nice and narrow, exactly what I want in a ... well fitting bra. The cups consist of two layers, one of fine color matching mesh and the top layer a lovely lace fabric. With the additional lace along the strap where it meets the front of the cup and gives a pretty sweetheart neckline. I get a tiny bit squeaking from the wires but it’s not noticeable unless you’re really listening for it. There is a very soft flexible piece of boning on the wing. The center gore has a beautiful sparkly gemstone pendant. My only complaint on this bra is the angle view. While it gives a very natural shape, it somehow pushes my boobs up yet flattens then out just above where the three part construction converges. I’m not totally mad at it, and as of now this is my best fitting most comfortable bra I own!
    Very happy with my first experience with Gorsenia. Will definitely be purchasing more from this brand.

      Welcome to my Unicorn Bra world of Gorsenia!! Aren't the wires dreamy??

      I have this bra too and I love it! I had to size up in the 3 full-lace styles, as I found them to be about 1/2 cup size smaller (I wear 65G in the regular half-satin styles, but I am filling those cups completely, completely, with no room for error, so I have 65H in these lace styles) .

      I think this flattening may be happening because perhaps it's a little too small in the cup. Just a smidge - just enough to not allow your tissue to sink and project fully. I say that because I had a similar effect in the 65G when I tried it.

      However, if this is the case, it's just a little bit and the bra is still beautiful on you.

      Did you try a half knit satin/ half lace style yet? Those cups are just a bit bigger, so I am wondering if you'll still get the flattening effect in this size....hmmmmmmm....

    • 1

      AGBras They totally are! I loved my Ewa bras for years, but sadly now I just have a hard time finding the right size with them! At first I thought the same thing in regards to size, but with this bra if I size up the wires will definitely be too wide and the cups would eat my armpits alive. Even with gaining this post baby weight, my high-profile implants keep me projected and center fast. I currently have a Gorsenia Arctic in 30H on the way to me. Crossing fingers that fits. I’m looking forward to finding and trying several styles with Gorsenia and other Polish brands. Over the years it’s just been hit or miss with Comexim and Ewa band/cup consistency.

      If only they made one more cup size up, I could join you both in Gorsenia bliss.... 😖😖😖

      MamaPagan I know right? You got 10-15 pounds to lose? That usually results in lose of a cup size or 2 LOL :P

    • 1

      MamaPagan I’ve seen my share of size cut offs. It’s not beneath me to buy the sister size and have the band taken in. In fact, there’s a Gorsenia I want so so bad, but it starts at a 32 band. Is it possible to do such a thing for you?

      Happy2BraShop I usually wear 65G in Gorsenia, but I just bought a 70F in Forever Blue and it fits perfectly on the second hook :)

    • AGBras HaHa, I don't want to lose breast mass though! 😬

    • Happy2BraShop I would be sister sizing to get Gorsenia. I wear a 28:16/28:17 and they don't do the 28s. They will do the 65M which isn't enough but I think I could do a 65N based on the Ms I tried by them......

      MamaPagan Gorsenia's bands are so big and stretchy though! D:

    • AGBras lol oh my gosh I’m about to order a K473 Feeling Blue in a 70 band because I have to have it! How do their undies run? Would you say they run true to size?

    • 1

      Happy2BraShop typically, most of their panty styles run small...some exceptionally small...but I have the Brazilian and it's very TTS. It's their largest size Small I have...about equal to a 36/8 in Ewa Michalak

    • Sovavosi I know! I tried 9 of them before giving up. 😖

    • Funny...I don't find them big and stretchy at all. They're on par with Ava and Kinga. They're definitely smaller than KL bands. I have had Ewa mesh bands that were the same and the Comexims that arrived today are looser than any of my Gorsenia. I tried a Gaia today whose band is weaker than pantyhose. Gorsenia bands are definitely more forgiving than Ewa's knit bands but they're consistent. Yay for consistency.

    • 2

      AGBras the bands on large cups are automatically longer by default, that does not help things. People keep saying Comexim and Ewa are tight and that is simply not true in 28J+ range.

    • I have to second Sovavosi. Both cups and bands don't follow the normal rules above the J cup, but that goes with all brands really. :-/

    • Sovavosi yes...i forgot about this dilemma in the larger cup sizes.

    • 1

      That doesn't mean I wouldn't try again if they made another cup up!!

      My congratulations! It's very nice on you.👏

    Didn't fit

    When you find “The Brand” for you, you stick with what works. And this brand is for me! Nice narrow underwires, and comfortable with a 30 band that’s spot on on the last set of hooks. Unfortunately I think I need one cup up in this particular bra. It is wearable, but I get some slight quad-boob. Even with a slightly small cup it still has a nice shape to it. The color is absolutely beautiful. It’s a deep muted aqua/green-ish color. The fabric is smooth and soft. The top of the cup has a thin band of plastic like material to help keep the lace in shape. ... The lower portion of the cup is a silky fabric with the top portion of the cup consisting of two layers. An embroidered lace over a fine mesh in coordinating color. Band has very flexible boning on the sides with evenly distributed elastic along the top and bottom of the band, so no digging in. Straps are a soft flexible elastic that are fully adjustable. Center gore is narrow and has a small bow with a teardrop shaped pendant crystal hanging from it. Overall it’s a lovely bra and will consider purchasing in a cup up. Gorsenia just earned themselves a loyal customer.

      Gorgeous!! Hope the 65I is a perfect fit!

      They really impressed me with the space for center fullness. Unfortunately, the newer models have the very narrow wires, and I need the old models' wider wires.

      Welcome to my happy world!! Gorsenia is my unicorn bra too. Go see Paradise...you will love it (and it's coming in blue and red soon).

      NB. The full lace ones fit 1/2 cup smaller and the ones that look like Rebecca/Parisienne are more closed on top and give very slight east-west. You can see photos of me wearing all of them in my account

      Love4Pollinators Indefinitely appreciate the center fullness aspect of their bra cups. And for me the narrower the wires the better. From what I’ve recently found Gorsenia padded vertical seamed cup bras might run wider in the wires. I have a 30H I ordered at the time I ordered this one on the way to me. Once I get it I can truly confirm if that’s the case. I recently tried a fabulous Kris Line that had nice deep cups, but the wires were too wide for me. Maybe a brand worth checking out to see if it works for you.

    • 2

      Love4Pollinators I have a couple of older Gorsenias and the same is definitely different from the current pattern.
      Unpadded and padded halfcu7p/balconettes are still much wider. Also, the styles based on Parisienne are a **little** wider.

    • 2

      AGBras I definitely appreciate all the bra brands and data you’ve added. It’s so helpful when it comes to searching for brands to try. I honestly wouldn’t have given this brand a second thought otherwise. I wore my Arctic all day yesterday and it’s as comfortable as my Madera. I love the Madera so much I snatched up a Caren as well. Buy all the braaaaasssss. My bank account hates me right now lol.

    I have been very hesitant to jump on the 2 trends of harness-type strappies and dark seams on sheer bras.

    I don't like to spend on something that will only be in style for a season or 2.

    But, it seems like it ain't letting up and when Gorsenia released this set, I decided to try.

    However. My decision came too late to get it direct from Gorsenia via MagdaBras4you ...it sold out eeek!

    But, I found on Other Eden which is also returns friendly. Yes...even after deciding to try it, I still wasn't convinced that I would like it. The matching brazilian style panties ... are high waisted, which added to my doubt...

    Ok. My doubts are gone!

    This is a crazy sexy bra that fits great and is light as air.

    The lace is beautiful. The seam covers are satin.

    The lower cup is black tulle over nude.

    The top cup is the nude tulle with black eyelash lace overlay.

    I find Gorsenia soft cups to be deep and to have a lot of projection at the wire. It's why they've become my unicorn.

    The gore is also nude tulle with eyelash lace overlay and has a simple tiny satin bow.

    The shoulder straps are fairly narrow and smooth and are fully adjustable and quite long. They're also trimmed with tiny satin bows.

    The strappies are thin elastic and are quite loose - I assume to prevent cutting into tall soft roots. They just barely lay flat on my short roots - I could even put a tuck stitch just to pull them tighter if I want. I'll decide after I wash and dry the bra.

    Flexible side boning on the low wings in a semi-matte black knitwear band.

    Band is consistent with all my other Gorsenia soft cups from recent seasons. I wear on loosest hook. Considered by me to be TTS.

    Matching Brazilian high waisted panties...hmmm...when I put them on alone, my man couldn't decide if he liked them. But when I put the bra on with them, he was on board lol

    They're gorgeous actually. Perfect fit.

    Front is semi-matte knitwear with sheer nude panels that have eyelash lace overlay and little strappies to match the bra. The back is knitwear on top and the leg openings are folded stretch tulle.

    I'm really happy that I decided to buy this set and look forward to similar ones that I know Gorsenia plans to release in the fall.

    65I

    Fits

    I'm not sure why I didn't do this before, but instead of using what my bra size is "supposed" to be, I looked at measurements of each size of the Gorsenia bras in my range, compared them to the 70G Ewas I have that fit me, and found out that in Gorsenia, 65I is my "perfect" size. I know that seems like a "duh!" sort of thing for most of you, but I just assumed, "Gorsenia bras don't fit me because the 32:9 that is my size doesn't fit!" Silly me.
    So I purchased this from another Bratabaser, so it was cheaper than buying full price. I ... like the fact that Gorsenia bras are narrow and projected and less expensive than Ewa Michalak bras! With all of the problems and slowness happening at Ewa, I was concerned I wouldn't have a "backup" bra brand to use in case stuff gets worse. I'm really glad I tried Gorsenia, because it fits almost as well as my BMs, with a few tweaks. I had to move one strap narrower, but that's normal for me, and I have to do that with just about all of my bras. (I've gotten rally good and fast at that strap surgery!) The cups, since they aren't made of the stretch lace like BM styles, have some gaping at the top of the cup, but it's not noticeable underneath a shirt, so it doesn't bug me. The gore tacks a little too well, but it doesn't hurt; I'm wearing it now, so we will see after a full day of wearing if it leaves marks or not. If it does, as long as it doesn't turn painful, I'll continue to wear it.
    This bra is nicely understated, and a perfect "flesh/beige" tone for me.
    Overall, I like this bra! Now I have to figure out which ones are the same "style" or whatever so I can find different ones to get in the future.
    (I'll update measurements and pictures later tonight!)

      Welcome to my dream world of Gorsenia. :)

      These soft cups are my unicorn!! I find every single one in 65G fits perfectly.

      65G Gorsenia full soft cup is like 65FF in Ewa BM but with a smidge more space right at the wire.

      I have 5 already and 6 or 7 more on the way. So far, they're all like yours - half lace style. However, I have full lace as well as unpadded half cups and semi padded styles coming. I'll report on their fit when they arrive.

      Congrats on your victory!

      AprilGoulding I didn't know they had full lace styles! What are the names so I can look them up? I'm wondering if that would fit me even better!

      They also have lace and mesh styles...see Morning Glory (70 bands only) and Paradise. Also coming up is chocolate and white. Should have 65 bands. See their IG or pdf catalogue on their website.

      P.S. their panties rock too! But run small. I normally take XS but size S fits me snugly.

      I am curious also to see you in this size...i wear 65G but i have a 65H here so i can show you on me the difference a cup size in this brand makes

    • 1

      I wear a 70G in Ewa Michalak, and the 65I (this particular Gorsenia) fit me almost exactly, other than the slightly wide straps and the gaping of the cups. The gaping is more because the lacy top of the bra isn't stretchy at all; I find that makes all the difference in laying flat atop my soft tissue.
      I'm almost certain a 65H would be too small in the cup, though I would be interested to try it on! I have bottom heavy breasts that are really soft tissue, so I can imagine it would be quad boob central if I went down a cup, lol.
      I'm emailing Madga now! I want all three of those lace Gorsenias if they are stretch lace!

      P.S. i wear 65G in Ewa Michalak BM. I find 65FF is better for my proportions (wing height, strap width, etc) but the cups aren't projected enough at the wire so I go up and fill it perfectly.

    • 2

      Oh those look amazing on you! I do see the difference in the larger cup size, too; the G fit you perfectly. I wish the straps fit me better: I get major "armpits getting eaten by the elastic and fabric" on just about every single bra I own.
      I'm so glad I rediscovered Gorsenia. They are super pretty and WAY cheaper than Ewa. Though Ewa bras are my "dream" bras, these are pretty darn close!
      Thanks for the pics and the help, AprilGoulding !

    Fits

    Havana fits exactly how I have come to expect Gorsenia softcups to fit me - PERFECTLY!!!

    Narrow wires, deep cups and a TTS band.

    One of the things that I love about Gorsenia bras is that they are perfect for my small frame: the straps are perfectly placed and not too wide, the wings are boned and just the right height, the cups are narrow, deep, projected and cover on the sides without eating my armpits and the band is firm and supportive even with only 2 hooks.

    Havana is a gorgeous shade of lavender satin with stretch lilac and lavender lace. It has pale lilac satin bows on the ... straps and a small lilac bow with a clear crystal charm on the gore.

    The panties that match this set are classic briefs, made from matching sueded microfiber. I never wore briefs before buying Gorsenia...however I have a thing about wearing matching sets and and if a brazil or thong isn't available, then I have no choice. But, I have come to learn that Gorsenia panties, no matter what the cut, are awesome. They are always comfortable, full coverage and because they are cut so well and trimmed with lace they never look like granny panties!!

    Gorsenia soft cups give me everything that I like about Ewa Michalak half lace BMs at a much lower price point and in a greater variety of styles and colours!! In fact, they are the power horses in my bra drawer...perfect for everyday wear.

    Thank you to MagdaBras4you for helping me get this set https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    Margo fits exactly how I have come to expect Gorsenia softcups to fit me - PERFECTLY!!!

    Narrow wires, deep cups and a TTS band.

    One of the things that I love about Gorsenia bras is that they are perfect for my small frame: the straps are perfectly placed and not too wide, the wings are boned and just the right height, the cups are narrow, deep, projected and cover on the sides without eating my armpits and the band is firm and supportive even with only 2 hooks.

    This particular model has an old fashioned English garden type print that is matched everywhere - the sides are printed power mesh, ... the cups and cradle are printed satin knitwear and the panties are printed sueded microfiber. The top of the cup is embroidered with a lovely scalloped edge. There are little bows on the straps and the gore has a bow with a cameo ornament. It's quite different from anything I have ever seen.

    I worried a little about buying this bra - thinking that it was so old-fashioned looking it might look too Grandma. But, nope. I put it on this morning and my boyfriend said, "Wow. Nice. Old school. Love it. Sexy, babe." These comments mean Margo's a keeper https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

    Gorsenia soft cups give me everything that I like about Ewa Michalak half lace BMs at a much lower price point and in a greater variety of styles and colours!! In fact, they are the power horses in my bra drawer...perfect for everyday wear.

    Thank you to MagdaBras4you for helping me get this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

      Thrilled you and Gorsenia are a perfect fit!! Gorgeous!!

    • Wow, the gorsenia bras look soo stunning on you! I’m jealous. Can’t really wear them as gore bothers me a bit. I have Margo as padded halfcup but haven’t tried it yet (since June last year....) . Btw, have you seen Ava bras? They’re great as well!

      Btw, if you’d need size small Margo panties I have one new with tags 🙈😂

    • Omg martka00 you crack me up. I have 2 pair Margo Brazilian as well as 2 extra bras...an ebay seller made a big booboo on my order.
      Really? The gores poke you? I find them the most comfy things ever...the gore on my Ewa half lace used to poke me, so I bent it out and now it's fine. Maybe the wires were warped?
      I have 1 Ava bra set. They're pretty but I find the quality on it is a little less so I am hesitant to try more...maybe its just the delicate nature of the design of the one I bought?

    • I tried few Gorsenias , Gorteks and Gaia’s and none was wearable for longer than 5-6 hours :/ maybe the wires aren’t padded as good as Comexim and Ewa? I don’t know.. my soft Margo I wore like couple of times and sold it . I hope the halfcup will work better! I need to finally try it on 😂😂😂

      Agree that Ava quality isn’t best but I still like them, especially my red set 😍 I’m planning to get more Ava’s and see if I can make them work (except half padded as had exactly same thing as with the other brands)

    • AprilGoulding I LOLd at your comments about the fear of this floral being granny-like! I was actually just about to comment that this print was bold and bright and had a more sophisticated look than the other bras you posted, it's the kind of floral I would expect on a Lise Charmel, Marjolaine or another pricy heritage French brand. Much bolder than what North American brands usually use on their underwear!

    • wendybien i know, right? I LOVE these things but men are finicky :P

    • 1

      I really like the 'vintage rose' pattern on Margo, congratulations on finding an awesome every day bra style - that looks great and fits comfortably as well!

      Nothing wrong with some low key retro / granny vibes ;)

    Starting Notes
    This is the second of 6 reviews I will do on a Polish bra haul! My New Years resolution was to not let hesitation or fear stop me from doing things, and buying bras is a weak spot for me. I'm constantly afraid of losing money, which means I never try new things and usually just buy bras listed, or buy deeply discounted off of Brastop. I've wanted to really try Polish bras for YEARS, and what happiness did worry and hesitation bring me??? None!! SO, despite a few mild spouts of panic, and lots of process of elimination, I took a risk and ordered... SIX bras ... at once!!! I ordered from OtherEden, and got them for I feel like a steal. I spend about 145 USD, so like $24 a bra, PLUS free shipping, AND the promise of easy US returns if needed. So... I took the plunge!! And luckily was happily rewarded. Now I need to hurry and see if I can get matching panties!! Anyway... On to the bra review!

    Wires
    Measures as wide, and does sit a bit wide on me, leaving some empty space on the side. Aren't sprung due to loose band. And despite that, THE most painful wires at the gore! What's with these tall gores and hard wires??! But, they're less of that dramatic deep U shape, which fits my root shape better.

    Cup Shape
    Round, but shallow. The fabric is a bit stretchy, so cups are techinically a bit too big for me. I just barely fill it, but hard to tell and still very wearable. Due to the extra seam on the sides, it works as a tight side panel which means I don't slip to the sides of the cups after swooping and scooping. Extremely open on top.

    Projection
    Immediate seems pretty good for a balconnette, and there's definitely some at the center. Were the wires narrower, I could see this pushing me front and center more.

    Band
    Too big. Needs altering. Doesn't seem to spring firm underwires much.

    Straps
    So damned wide!! Attacking my armpits. Due to lace and strap trim, couldn't move closer in. With shortening the band, they'll be closer together in the back at least. Fully adjustable excluding front trim, and I would consider short. I'm petite from neck to waist, and need to start them nearly fully loosened.

    Appearance
    Wow!! What stunning embroidery! The photos made it look like RED on black, but actually, it's fuchsia! A bit disappointed as I've wanted a red and black sheer lace bra forever, but it looks SO pretty in person so I can't be mad. Looks good on too.

    Comfort
    Gore is MURDER. Would need to replace with softer and possibly shorter wires. I could see straps being irritating to armpit after a while. Otherwise, fabrics are extremely soft.

    Summary
    I seem to be charmes by fabrics this time around, haha... Despite the painful gore, I think it's worth keeping. I know how to alter bras so hopefully that will happen soon!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

    • That bra is gorgeous, but the gore bruising makes me cringe! Ouch!!

    • It is gorgeous. I hope your alterations are successful and the bra becomes comfortable for you. :-)

    • So sorry about this negative experience :(

      This is the balconette version though, which means a higher gore and wider wires. I have the Eva soft cup from this same, K2XX, series and it fits perfectly and is super super comfortable. It's my favorite non-Ewa Michalak bra.

    • Gorgeous bra. Good luck with the alterations.

    • I tried this bra a while back. I found the same results as you did. But in the size I tried, the wires were so wide I couldn't keep the bra. I also tried a couple other Gorsenia half cups, and they all had beautiful embroidery! I hope you can alter it to get a better fit. Looks nice on you. The more open tops work well with your shape I think.

    • I would be interested in seeing pictures and hearing about your experience with the alterations. Good luck!

    • Thank you so much for this review! I have been eying these bras because those seamed half cups are usually my best fit. But Comexim gores & wires have spoiled me so I've been waiting. And I can see I won't like that murderous gore. :)

    • letstalkaboutbras Have you tried Ewa Michalak HM ? Shes discontinuing them but still has some Sekret Wiltori left.
      Narrow wires, comfortable gore...I love mine.

    • AprilGoulding I've *never* tried EM! I am allowing myself one new bra purchase and I'm thinking about a half cup from EM or a 3HC from Comexim.

    • letstalkaboutbras we are in the same size range, and I have CHP and HM as well as BM from EM. If you wanna chat, send me a PM

      Sovavosi MamaPagan AprilGoulding Sonya Wilderness1 jazzypants letstalkaboutbras Wow can't believe so many days went by without me replying!! I appreciate all for your comments and feedback. ^_^ And thank you for the well-wishes on the alterations! I've altered a few bras in the past, two of them I still need to update on here, so I'm not too worried about accomplishing them. I just need to order more underwires now haha. And I'm curious to see what the original underwires look like, because unfortunately they feel like punched steel rather than the fully coated underwires. I'm starting up my blog again *gasp!* so I plan on putting step by step pictures there of me opening the bras up and making changes to them.
      Again, thank you all, and I hope to actually get my other reviews finished soon... I'm trying to do more structured reviews, rather than review "word vomit," so it's taking more time.

    I've been looking a simple, every day beige bra that wasn't so precious (I.e. $) that I'd be worried about wearing it to work. I'm a meal prep chef and I often splash oil or sauce on myself and even with an apron, every now and again something will seep through. If oil stained and ruined a $100 bra, I'd lament for days.

    Anyways...I read here on BtB that this style was narrow with deep cups so I took a chance and ordered 65G.

    It's pretty much a perfect fit. And, it's pretty for a beige bra.

    Is it an EM? No. Absolutely not. But, to be honest, ... it's not far off my bibi Blanca in terms of style and fit and quality, too. I'd say just 1/2 step down with difference in band firmness being notable.

    For the money, I'll happily wear it cooking.

    It gives a slightly less rounded shape than my bibi, but I like the natural profile for everyday wear.
    The straps are nice and not too wide set.
    And yes, the wires are very, very narrow. So narrow, that when I took this bra out of the box, my first thought was, "there is no way this is going to be big enough." But...Perfect. Awe-sum-ness.

    I'll load more pics and measures tonight.

      OK, ladies. If you need narrow wires and deep cups, this one is for you. I just measured. The cups are only 12.5 cm wide but they're 25.5cm deep. This bra has the most U-shaped wire on any bra I have ever tried. The projection is amazing - I get ZERO wrinkling anywhere around the wire. I wore it all night and it is a great bra. If I could get a black one and white/ecru one like this, I totally would buy them.

    Oh man, this is so close to being my Goldilocks bra that I could cry. I ordered this Gorsenia thinking it would be worth a try, even though most spacer bras don't have enough immediate projection for me. When it arrived I got super excited, because what I didn't realize about this spacer foam is that it's transparent! It's so thin it functions almost just like an unpadded bra would and works perfectly for me with my rather pendulous shape.

    Also good is the low gore (it could be a tad narrower for me, but it's low enough that it's comfy) and the color (their "beige" is pale enough ... to be a good nude for my super pale skin). The wires are nice and not too firm, almost narrow enough for me like most other Gorsenia models I've tried. I had meant to order a larger cup size, but Other Eden decided this converted to a 32F - I think it's more of an E, really, but the cups are stretchy enough that the depth works for me.

    It would be amazingly comfortable if not for two things - the wings and the band. The way the straps connect to the foam makes the wings a bit higher than I'd like (I think it would work better for someone with a longer torso), and the seams there where they attach are a bit scratchy in my armpits. The band also has a scratchy feel to it, especially near the hooks and the lace part in the front between the cups. Any of the seams where elastic attaches, basically. It's comfortable for a little while, then I became super aware of everything and kept having to adjust things where they were scratching me. The band was also tight for a 32 (an extender will help for now, but throws off the strap placement for me). It just didn't feel like other Gorsenia bands to me, much lower quality material in the band than I'm used to with their more satiny bras.

    I'm really hoping this will get more comfortable with wear, because I love everything else about the bra. It looks great under shirts and is really breathable in the heat. I'm tempted to try the 75E and see how that would work, but worry it might go even further into my armpits and be too wide. Just sooooooo close, grr.

    Didn't fit

    Margo is a really pretty floral print padded bra with embroidered lace and a cameo gore charm that I adore. This is the second Gorsenia bra I tried this year. I wasn't optimistic after 65F - Gorsenia » Cheri Soft Underwire Bra (K221) didn't work for me at all, but I think I've found my style. I love the look of this bra - it reminds me of a Victorian rose garden - and the cut fits me much better than the Gorsenia unlined bras. It runs pretty much true to size, so unfortunately this was one cup size too small and the band a ... little bigger than I need. Gorsenia makes a couple styles of padded balconette and they seem to be listed here as all the same (sharing measurements), but this one is not the same as the 2-vertical seam cut like Gorsenia Solange Padded Balcony Bra (K159) . This one has a 4-part cup with a horizontal section across the top. In general, it fits very similarly to a half cup, but with good projection and is accommodating to my inner and apex fullness. The cups are also fairly narrow for a padded bra and the low side wings add to the comfort.

    I'm giving away this bra (size 65E/30E)! Check out my blog for a full review and to enter the giveaway!

    I did not want this bra, but it was the least expensive of the Gorsenia deep plunge models. Was I wrong! Wow! I feel like royalty in this bra. The tonal ivory polka dots, shimmering satin, and silver embroidery are an unforgettable combination. This bra is stunning in person....and, I am a proclaimed "minimalist." My resolve has weakened https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

    Plunge wires are generally wider at the base of the gore. This is a problem for me because the wires, literally, sit on my breasts along the base of the gore. Amore Mio is no exception. It is wide at the base, narrow ... at the top, and wonderfully short in stature.

    If you are close set, you may need to bend the wires of the deep plunge (make the curve steeper) and sew the cups closer together to reduce the distance between the cups. Otherwise, the unlined and half cup Gorsenia bras are just as beautiful and have more narrow gore bases.

    This cup is wide-6.8". Wide, shallow users, here is a gorgeous bra for you. Narrow, projected users, we should run along....unless we like to alter. The cup can be narrowed and more projection created. Subsequently, the band may require an extender.

    Five more Gorsenia arriving soon: I'm excited https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

      roxannelovesbras That is disappointing. I hope they expand their sizes so you can tell us how the padded bras fit you. By the way, I'm green with envy regarding the quality of your photos. I've used both my phone and tablet cameras but they are not nearly as sharp and bright as your photos. What is your secret? Without good photos, I'm not able to capture the beauty of these fabrics. Thanks for sharing :-)

      @violetknight Sadly, that is a great decision. Sigh. However, they make a half cup in this fabric.

      Beautiful on you!! So sorry about the wire issues. :(
      I don't suppose bending them wider would help; just a thought.

    • 1

      Wanabee, I will try by creating a steeper slope near the gore, narrowing the gore base, and changing the cup width. This is such a beauty I want to find a way to make it work :-)

      You are our resident MacGuyver--why do you suggest bending the wire wider? You know many things I don't. Thanks for enlightening me :-)

    • Oh, Love4Pollinators, you give me much more credit than I am due! 😍

      I was just thinking; some IMF's are not perfect curves or arcs. Some have "corners" (smaller curves, often at the base of the gore) that are persecuted by perfectly curved wires that follow the greater primary curve of the IMF. If this is your problem, you might be able to bend the wires to fit these irregular curves; first by bending smaller curves into the wires at the base of the gore, and then out, at the wings, to compensate for the smaller inner curves. 😊

    • 1

      Wanabee I call it as I see it. :-)

      I will try :-) These wires are flexible. Ooh. I also have replacement wires I could try, too. :-)

    • letstalkaboutbras The semi-soft models have more narrow cups (e.g. 70F was 9.9" deep and 4.8" wide). Additionally, the cups are bigger, significantly, than Comexim. Sometimes, a 65K Comexim 3HC is big enough for me, but a 65H/70G Gorsenia has sufficient space.

    The Nathalie bra from Gorsenia. Check out that embroidery...just beautiful! I have to size down in the cup to fit this brand properly and to reduce the wrinkling at the top of the cup on my smaller side. My larger side almost wants to quad but not quite. Band fits TTS and the materials used on this bra are lovely. Very soft and the embroidery is flat so does not show through shirts. Shape is a little more rounded than my other Polish brands. Beautiful bra! ❤️😍💯

    In the past I tried a few Gorsenia bras, having had luck with Margo and Simena. To be honest this bra is very lackluster and basic. While it has some nice detail, it’s just a beige bra. But, that’s not always a bad thing. Sometimes a nice boring bra can be a true workhorse and this bra feels sturdy and well made.

    The cup is a three part design. With the lower cups consisting of beige matte single ply of non-stretch fabric. The upper cup is a non-stretch beige two tone embroidered type lace, having a subtle scalloped edge. The center gore has matching lace with a very ... tiny beige bow that has a tear drop diamond pendant hanging from it. The back band is a beings stretch mesh that has side boning. There is a 3x3 back clasp! In old Gorsenia a lot of 65I bras have a 2x3, so I was happy about the extra line of hooks as I much prefer a 3x3. The straps are a beige elastic with a shimmery scalloped edge detail. The front of the straps have a lace detail that runs down the front portion of the strap and ends just were the strap meets the cup. All elastic and hardware is beige.

    Briefs in size Medium:
    I purchased the matching, as husband would say, granny panties lol. There is a front panel consisting of the same beige stretch fabric with two lace triangle details up on the front where the center panel meets the hip panels. There are seams on the sides where the back panel connects to the front. All elastic is beige and it has a beige cotton gusset in the crotch.

    *Update: The band is still snug and I’ve found I get the best fit with an extender to make it as if it had one more row of hooks. I’m going to change this from fitting to not fitting just for that reason. I can wear it as is, but prefer the extended at this time. I hope in time it stretches out to allow me to wear it as is.

    This is probably the first bra and panty matching set I’ve owned and I’m not disappointed. The cups on the bra are a light nude lightly padded lining with a sheer black patterned overlay. The top of ... the cup has a sheet non stretch lining with a black sheer overlay. The sheer overlay on the top of the cup wrinkles on my smaller boob side, but I think once this is washed the overlay will shrink a tad, or the under fabric will stretch and the two will meet in the middle and lay flat. Either way the ripples don’t show at all under thin knitted tops. The center of the cups where the top portion meets the two lower section has a printed flower like design that sits nicely to conceal areola that might peek out of the cup. The center gore has a silver charm. The straps are a nice stretch elastic. The band is snug! But as I’ve learned black bras seem to always be on the snug side.

    I purchased the matching panties Fantasy (K510) in size Medium. They fit nicely. The fabric is thin with a cotton gusset in the crotch. It has the same floral print on lace on the hip.

    This is a a nice bra, but not my favourite. I’m not sure what it is, but Gorsenias appear to be good on me, yet somehow I’m not happy with the fit. I’m unable to articulate what it is about the fit that bothers me. This one does get a bit of wear but it’s actually still in the second bedroom on the futon instead of my bra drawer for regular rotation.

    It’s a nice light pink with a silver tone through the lace upper. Pink has never been my favourite colour yet this one is quite nice against my skin. It’s pretty lightweight with narrow and projected cups. I almost feel like it’s borderline small, but I know that a size up would be too tall. The band is snug but the tag is a bit itchy. I think it’s a little bit of a weird shape on me, depending on the angle.

    It’s not a bad bra, but it’s one that I don’t run for immediately either.

    This bra is not owned any more

    • Maybe it's the pic but based on other reviews you've posted it looks like this has you sitting a little wider, more east/west than centered, maybe that's it?? Its is pretty though!

    • Yes, I think so confused. The gore is a little bit too wide for me, I think.

    • Pretty bra though...

    • Yup. It’s not overly fancy or excessively plain. Good for daily wear. Colour is nice. It’s ok on me, but I don’t think it is a wow bra.

    • Do you have any idea generally how Gorsenia compares to EM size wise? I know that's a complicated question just wondering!

    • confused I take 65FF/70F in Ewa and this is a 65G. Ewa follows UK cup progression so that you see the double letters in Ewas but not other Polish brands who use EU progression. I’m not sure what measure Gorsenia scales their cups. There’s a Polish bra wiki that has some information on the scaling but I’m not sure off the top of my head. I know Comexim is 2cm which is why the cups are smaller (UK uses 1in which is 2.4 or 2.5cm). This 65 band is a bit snug for a true 30 but it’s close. I’m not sure if that helps.

    • This looks like a nice bra. Do you think the gore is wider at the bottom and that's why it feels more like an east/west look?

      Yes, possibly. That is why b I thought the HM Sekret made me feel east/west.

    • Yes, possibly. That is why b I thought the HM Sekret made me feel east/west.

    • Yeah, I think you're right on. I looked at the Sekret and the gore looks wider at the bottom like this one for sure.

    • To be fair, I am splayed, unsupported. So that width at the bottom does actually match my shape, but it’s not doing anything for me.
