The Gorsenia Yoko K810 is an underwired soft bra for medium, large and very large busts, in black with sheer stripes across the top of the cup and a gold V at the centre. Its most visible detail is a double strap on each shoulder.
Two straps on each shoulder
The binding along the top of the cup does not stop at the shoulder. It continues over it and down the back as a second, narrower strap that adjusts on its own, running next to the main one. The main straps are adjustable and non-detachable and come in three widths, 14, 18 and 22 mm, according to size. Rings and sliders are gold-coloured metal and nickel-free.
The cup
The cup is cut in three pieces. Below is an opaque, stable simplex knit with a slight sheen. Above is an elastic lace worked in stripes, backed by an extra layer of stable tulle. That extra layer is there to reinforce the upper cup and is intended to help where one breast is fuller than the other. A raised centre gore and straps set out towards the sides are how the K810 is designed to gather the bust firmly towards the centre and lift it.
Centre, band and back
The centre gore is shaped from two layers of stable tulle and carries a gold-coloured metal V. The band combines opaque lycra with transparent elastic tulle and is finished along the top with a wide, soft elastic tape. Flat bones at the sides are there to keep the bra lying close to the body.
The fastening has three positions, and how deep it is depends on the strap: two rows of hooks on the sizes with the 14 mm strap, three rows on those with the 18 or 22 mm strap. Composition is 90% polyamide, 7% elastane, 3% polyester.
What shows
Between the stripes the upper cup is sheer, and so are the tulle sections of the band at the sides and back. The lower cup is opaque. Under thin or close-fitting tops the striped texture and the cup seams can come through, and under a wide or open neckline the second strap will be seen alongside the first.
Sizing
The K810 is made for medium, large and very large busts. Stock in black is on the size selector, and the Lascava size guide covers measuring.
Who the K810 suits
Best for: medium to very large busts that are meant to be gathered firmly towards the centre; anyone who wants support in the upper cup as well as below; anyone who likes a visible, graphic strap detail.
Not ideal for: anyone who wants a single plain strap or a smooth back under fitted tops; anyone looking for a wire-free or moulded shape.
Matching briefs
The K811 high-waisted briefs carry the same striped lace at the front and across the back.
How to wash the Yoko K810
Hand wash at 40 °C with the hooks fastened. Do not bleach, iron, dry clean or tumble dry, and dry flat or on a line.
Frequently asked questions
Is the K810 a good choice if my breasts are different sizes?
It is built with that in mind. The upper cup carries an extra layer of stable tulle, intended to help where one side is fuller than the other. How well it works for you depends on how large the difference is and on the size you choose.
Gorsenia sells this as a soft bra. Are there wires?
Yes. Soft refers to the cup having no padding. The K810 is underwired.
