After scoping out the limited info here and studying their size chart, I ultimately decided on the 75J (the largest size in this style) because this bra was screaming my name. I was forced to order the matching briefs (3X) because, duh, matching set?! The fit is crazy close to perfect because it's so open on top; it fits me more like a half cup than the stock photo indicates. My boobs are very round, narrow rooted and fuller on top - think balloons on a wall - so I struggle to find sufficient immediate projection. (It used to be quadraboob, but this site helped me ...get past that!) I also struggle to find lower height cups because I'm relatively short-torso'd and most bras lose their sexy when they come up to your neck. This bra manages to provide sufficient projection while being an appropriate scale for my body and the shape is excellent. If they made a 70K, I think it would be perfect but it's certainly close enough to have been placed in heavy rotation already. For reference, I am roughly a 34H+ in UK sizing. The only problem with this bra is that I get a bit of in-cup quadding where the 3 vertical sections of the bottom meet the horizontal-ish section of the top. I can't tell if it's a result of the decorative overlay that is stitched there, or if it's the base structure that allows it happen but it's only visible under thinner tops. Since the lace is textured, and the bra is a pretty bright color, I wouldn't choose it for a thinner top anyway. Some other features of the bra: cookie sleeves (highly technical term!), fully adjustable straps, 3 rows/3hooks, lined. The briefs are fine; I'll wear 'em. They come up a little high on the waist for my taste and, while they don't crawl up, they also don't really cover my entire rear end. They seem to be scaled wider, instead of with increased booty room. For reference, I'm roughly a size 16. Read more 241 more words
Great that it fits! :) On me this bra was such a disaster, despite the lovely colour. Maybe the other Gorsenia half cups would be worth a try? Also lots of immediate projection, open on top but no in-cup quadding :)
Sorry, hadn't scrolled to see that you actually tried the half cup and liked it :) Yay!
Soooo pretty! Consistent fit/size with the Marine meaning larger in the cup and smaller in the band than the size chart would indicate. That's great news for folks like me who are borderline sized out. I could use a 70k (I'm roughly 34H in UK sizing and round but fuller on top with narrow roots). Shape, comfort and support are excellent. Good immediate projection. 3-part vertical cup is very open on top. Fully adjustable straps, 3 rows of 3 hooks, quality materials and construction. The color is definitely a pale pink rather than the lavender the stock photo depicts. A fab bra for a fab price; maybe my new favorite brand?!
I thought this bra is a 3-part half cup, but in fact it has an additional horizontal part on the top which honestly makes no sense. I tried to capture this in the pictures - the cup curves in where the embroidery is, and then the top part curves out again. This creates a very weird shape and in-cup quadding. This top part also makes the cup taller than the half-cup (by 1.5cm, both bras in the same size).
Looks and materials: it's very pretty, the fabric is glossy, satin-like and it's not stretchy. The style of the embroidery is also interesting, it's a bit of a different ...design that the usual florals. The inside of the cup is lined with a light gray fabric. The material itself is very soft and nice to the touch, although I probably would have preferred a different colour.
The matching bottom (brazilian) - they run small, size up! The fabric for the bottoms is not the same as on the bra, but rather it's softer and stretchier. In the right size, they look like they'd be comfortable.
The fit - just like the other Gorsenia bras, there's a lot of immediate projection, and also a lot of projection near the gore. The wings are nice and low, and there's also a side boning - which I have mixed feelings about, but it's not uncomfortable. The cups also come with cookie pockets,which is nice.

This bra is probably an older Gorsenia model - if we consider the numbering a hint. This somehow seems like it's a bit different to some of the newer unpadded models, which for me are a better fit and seem to have improved on different fit issues. First off, regarding the quality and construction, this looks and feels sturdy and good quality. I'm not too much of a fan of the pink lace, but it's overall quite pretty for a basic bra. I do like that there are quite a lot of options for white designs with Polish bras, so beige is not the only option for a ...lighter coloured bra. Regarding the sizing, it runs small - or better said, it runs true to size but the other Gorsenia bras run large in the cup. The main issue I have with this bra are the super wide set straps. This is an uncommon issue for me with my wide back and shoulders, but the straps cut into my arm and they almost slip off my shoulders. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has narrow shoulders or who usually has problems with straps being too wide set. Next off, the wires are relatively soft, and they're softer than the ones on the other Gorsenia bras that I've tried. The cups are also a bit wider and a bit shallower, so this bra does not allow for too much inner fullness.
Congratulations!! I adore Marine, too.
