The Gorsenia Erato K962 is a black underwired, padded balconette for small, medium and large busts, designed to lift the bust and show it off. Its straps come in three widths across the sizes, only the 14 mm version detaches, and all of them can be clipped together at the back.
The foam cup and its lace
Three pieces of foam form each cup, covered with elastic tulle and lace. The outer panels carry a leaf-pattern lace, the inner panels are smooth, and a sheer tulle section with lace sits below the centre, where a gold-coloured charm hangs. The cups sit on underwires, and their inside is covered in cotton. Each cup also has a pocket for an insert, though no inserts are included.
Straps and the back clip
The straps adjust in length and are made in three widths. At 14 mm they detach, while the 18 and 22 mm straps are fixed. Whatever the width, they can also be clipped together behind the back, so that they stay out of sight under tops cut away at the shoulders.
Band and fastening
The back is lycra, intended to give a close fit and good support. Side bones are there to stop the fabric from rolling, and the band closes with two, three or four rows of hooks depending on size, each with three positions.
Under clothing
The foam cups keep a smooth, rounded outline, while the lace on the outer panels adds some texture that very thin fabric can show. Under white or pale tops the black will be visible, so darker clothing is the natural pairing.
Sizing
The K962 is made for small, medium and large busts. Strap width and the number of hook rows both change with size. For stock, check the size selector. For measuring, see the Lascava size guide.
Who the Erato K962 suits
Best for: small to large busts that want lift and a rounded, open neckline; tops with wide or cut-away necklines, with the straps clipped at the back; anyone who prefers the structure of a foam cup.
Not ideal for: anyone who wants an unpadded, natural-shape cup; a wire-free bra; anyone who needs detachable straps in the 18 or 22 mm widths.
Matching briefs
The Erato K963 high-waisted briefs share the same black and the same leaf lace. This listing is for the bra, and the briefs are sold separately as their own item.
How to wash the Erato K962
Close the hooks, then wash by hand at 30 to 40 °C with a mild detergent or on the machine's delicate cycle in a wash bag. No bleach, ironing, dry cleaning or tumble drying.
Frequently asked questions
Can the straps be removed?
Only the 14 mm straps detach. The 18 and 22 mm straps are sewn in, and all three widths adjust.
Is the Erato K962 padded?
Yes. The three-piece cups are foam covered with tulle and lace, with underwires beneath. There is a pocket in each for an insert, but inserts do not come with the bra.
