Hmm, well the Lingerie Addict says I can't have all three: good fit, low price, and a beautiful design, but I'm going to have to disagree with this. Case in point: this Polish bra that I bought for Polish prices!!
When I first opened the box to examine this item, I was so impressed with the Gorsenia's workmanship: so many small seams!! And they all look perfect!
At first I thought the bra would be too small, but I tried it on - perfect fit! And I instantly knew why Gorsenia is such a popular brand. the shape is very narrow and projected. In my size, it has ... very deep cups (I've read in the larger cup sizes, the cups can go a bit wider though...not sure if that's true). Also, the strappy element (straps above the cups) in this bra are not just decorative, they're actually functional, as they keep the shoulder straps from going too wide. I compare this style with another Gorsenia bra that I got at the same time and in the same size (Amaro), and I think the stappy design element definitely improves the fit and comfort. If I buy another Gorsenia bra, I def. want to keep ordering their bras that have the extra strap (gore to shoulder) design element.
So, I'm glad I gave this bra a whirl. I think the fit would be similar in the Gorsenia Paradise, but I have not tried any other Gorsenia bras besides those two..so I'm not sure if the sizing applies to all Gorsenia bras.
As far as sizing, this style runs about 2 cups large in my size range: when I ordered this bra I was measuring at 32GG UK/70K EU size, but I looked at all of the data on bratabase & ordered two cup sizes down, which ended up being the right size for me.
Overall, I would say this is a "bra win." I ordered from misterna.pl on their 10% off Christmas sale -really enjoyed ordering from them, and I would like to do it again; I'm giving this bra 5/5 stars for quality for the price.
addendum: I didn't realize one could buy all of these straps online (this is from Polish brand, Julimex) e.g. these straps https://www.misterna.pl/julimex,producent-bielizny-28,2.html

This is the article I'm referencing from TLA, the sentence where she says, "But first, let's do a bit of framing. Choose 2 of the following: a low price, good fit (inclusive of an extended size range), or beautiful design." See, I got all three.
