(This review was edited a few months after the original version.)
I am new to Gorsenia and still in the process of finding my "abtf". I am even set (when leaning 90°), somewhat center-full, and asymmetrical. I've yet to determine my root height, but feel sure that I'm narrow.
The "abtf" calculator consistently puts me between a 34F and 34FF (UK), though I've did that isn't quite right because of my asymmetrical shape. I'm a pretty true 34 band size.
I bought this bra via Other Eden on Amazon, and originally followed their advice to size down in the cup because Gorsenia is known to be so projected. The ... cup was okay, but the 34 band felt very, very tight. I tried the equivalent of a 36 band and E or F cup (again, following their size conversions) and while 36 was a bit better, it messed with the cup shape for me.
On a whim, I decided to try again, this time with a 34G (75G EU size), and had a MUCH better fit! The band felt fine when I went up in cup size, the gore tacked, I don't get as much back fat/rolls, and the cups, while not 100% perfect, are smooth enough without gaping or quadding after swoop and scoop. The stretch lace at the top really helps with my asymmetrical size, and unlike the tulle or mesh top of Gorsenia's Victoria model, lays almost perfectly against my skin.
I found the projection pretty decent, too, though personally, I could use a little more at the wire than this one offers. I have a 2-2.5" difference between my standing and leaning bust.
The wires were a good width and height for me I think, though the straps are slightly wide, which can irritate my tail off of spence.
All in all, this has been my best fit so far. It isn't my holy grail, but I liked it enough to buy a second one.
If you're having trouble with a tight band, don't be afraid to try a bigger cup. It might work better for you despite what the sellers say about Gorsenia's sizing.
