This is an absolutely gorgeous bra. It's a very light blue-ish green color with beautiful lace details at the top of the cups, and it has velvet bows where the straps meet the cups and at the center gore. There is also a small bit of metal and a detail of "dots" under the band at the center. Thankfully, most of the cup has smooth fabric and the lace is not very raised so it barely shows underneath clothes.
The seller said it is a "full cup bra", and it is a bit fuller coverage than other Gorsenias I've tried on, but not overly so. This size has 3 ... rows of hooks as opposed to other models that usually have 2.
I find it very comfortable, I've had it on all day without needing to adjust or wanting to take it off. My breasts are very projected and quite full on bottom with soft tissue and this bra worked perfectly. It gives a beautiful rounded shape that I really love.
A couple notes on sizing: my size is usually 30F but I followed the advice of a couple people to go up a band size. I bought this through Brastop and they sold it as a 32DD (they advise to size down a cup so I followed that as well), but the tag on the bra says it's a UK 32E. Either way it fits great but I recommend to take a good look at the tags if possible to find if they will fit.

Mint colorway

Updated on Dec 27, 2021 Flag this

For some reason when I gave this away and marked it not owned, BBase got rid of the info on it? Stupid.

Anyways.

Really miss this style. It had a lot more projection from the wire, rather than just overall projection in the very center of the cup. The wires as with all Gorsenia were a super tall narrow 'U' shape which didn't work the best with my \___/ shaped IMF. But I took them out and changed for some Emerald Erin ones that worked better, even if the gore was higher at the time than I preferred.
This gave the lower outer cup ... a more pronounced wrinkle at the outer wire that couldn't be helped, but it didn't fight with my side-heavy shape (no side spillage). At the time I began to notice everything else was fitting on the smaller side and began cycling up through comexims, but this style lasted a bit longer in rotation. Probably about 5-6 months all told (around when I needed 28G/GG).

Marita was also very dense-tissue friendly, didn't try to shove or smash me around like some other styles in this brand. However due to the weirdly wide/bottom full nature of of my shape vs marita's generally overfull but not deep shape, it did feel like the center inner of the cups at gore eventually became tight and flattening. So in turn I concluded it wasn't a great style for inner fullness at the time, when in actuality I was in a much too small size that was difficult to diagnose due to having extra short breasts that only grow horizontally (yeah I know you'd think they would look like -- -- but anatomy is a trickster and we got o o instead).

I class Gorsenia as generally fuller & narrower than UK brands, making the exception for Katherine Hamilton and a few discontinued Cleos. They come in a lot of shapes! But there's a few trademark similarities they share with other brands: Tall wires. Cups are flattening from the outer side. Lack of Plunges. No stretchy forgiving upper cup band (these may be 2 exceptions! casablanca & I forget what else right now). Shallow halfcups that run smaller than their regular balconette styles. For some these are crucial needs, for me it's an annoying dealbreaker

So musing on what else out here had a similar fit or shape? I can't really say this has a polish analogue in Comexin or the shallower/fuller Kinga. Back to the Uk brands:

Unlike Panache Tango this was narrower but had MORE ROOM EVERYWHERE!
Like all Gorsenia there is a tendency to push the sides forward in a subtle manner.
Like Tango, Marita is a well centered round style.
Conclusion- Marita's depth & fullness spoiled me so that when I began trying Tango it felt unnaturally closed in in the cups and strangely small in much larger sizes with equally larger wires.
