    NOTE: This is a wider Gorsenia. The average data Bratabase shows for this model (and all wider Gorsenia models) is incorrect. Please view the individual bra measurements to ensure you purchase what will best fit.

    Wow! This unlined bra fits better than any other I've tried. And, the support is as good as my Shock Absorber. Whoa. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

    Although the gore is too wide at the top and the bottom, the center projection is better than any other brand I've worn. The immediate projection is stellar: it did not collapse while I was driving. Every other wired bra I have owned failed the "driving ... test."

    Lift. Check.
    Rounding. Check.
    Centering. Check.
    Comfort. Check.
    Support. Check.

    The wires perfectly follow my root along my smaller breast, and I do not have the lingering bruising sensation wired bras often bestow on my body. Most wired bras I can wear for a few minutes, but this bra passed the two hour mark with ease. No bruising. Wonderful. However, the wire was sitting on the inside and outside of my smaller breast. So, I may need a 65I.

    I suspicion my soft tissue is compressible. This characteristic may be the cause of the swelling that is all too familiar in wired bras. For instance, I didn't notice my breasts were compressed in the 65G Caramel until they could expand in the 65H Caramel. Routinely, others have suggested I need to "try a smaller size." This has been very unwise, painful advice to follow. It also resulted in a large, swollen lymph node. I share this as an aid to others who may have compressible tissue. Listen to your breasts. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Here is an album with photos of my breasts in various levels of compression: http://www.bratabase.com/albums/bgv/

    The cup height near my shoulder is my nemesis. It is too tall. The gore height is comfortable, but the width is not. The gore base, which I had hoped would be narrower, is too wide, like every other brand I've tried. When removing the bra after a 2 hour trial, the typical wire impression was visible around half of one breast. My breasts do not tolerate wires without significant swelling https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" /> Wireless bras for me until the designers create dramatically different wired bras.

    For a comparison of how Ewa Michalak unlined bras fit me vs Gorsenia, look here: http://www.bratabase.com/albums/w2/

    Gorsenia has thoroughly impressed me, and I do not hesitate to recommend them for projected, center-full breasts.

      Yay! I'm so happy that you found a bra that meets most fit criteria! I ordered 3 Gorsenia models a couple weeks ago, so now I'm even more excited to get them in the mail!

      cupandahalf Imagine my surprise and elevation ;-) ;-)

      @Wilderness1 I hope you, too, find something to love about your Gorsenia bras. The price makes it so much easier for me to purchase them. And, they fit me better than Comexim, Ewa Michalak, Lejaby, Empreinte, Curvy Kate, Freya,....better than the others. :-) Sigh. Finally.

    • alanapoppy This brand may be a good option for you. The K200 series has particularly narrow wires. This model is from the K000 series. I don't know anything about the K100 series....yet ;-)

    This bra is very-very nice. I like the lace ( delicate and soft) and the color ( it's really nude color for light skin).
    When I was waiting for this bra, I thought that cups would be a little bit big for me, but the band would fit. Unfortunately, the bra is too big for me both in band and in cups (I usually wear 28:8/30:7 size).
    The cups should give very round shape, they are rather closed ( but maybe that's just because of my size). The band is not very tight for 65.
