Gorsenia Luisse Almond Full Cup Bra G018
The Luisse G018 is an underwired full-cup bra from the Polish brand Gorsenia, in the warm nude shade called Almond. The cups are soft and not foam-padded, so the bra shapes and holds through its cut, its underwire and a non-stretch cup fabric rather than by adding volume. It is built for fuller busts and gives more coverage than Gorsenia's balconette styles.
Sheer three-part cups
Each cup is made in three sections and stays sheer rather than lined. The base is a fine non-stretch mesh that keeps its shape, with floral lace laid over the lower and outer cup. Towards the top of the bust the cup opens to plain mesh, so the upper edge can look see-through. An underwire runs under each cup, which is how a bra with no foam still gives a rounded lift. A small metal charm sits at the centre between the cups, and the top of each cup is bound with a trim that carries up into the strap.
Underwired support and straps
The straps are wide and lightly padded to ease pressure on the shoulders, and they carry an embroidered leaf pattern. Their width is matched to the size, so larger sizes come with broader straps. They adjust at the back through silver-toned metal sliders and do not detach. The padding is in the straps, not in the cups. Vertical bones in the side panels stop the band rolling over, and the back is cut from a firm, covering fabric for a close hold. The fastening is a hook-and-eye with three height settings, running two or three rows of hooks depending on size, with three rows on the larger sizes.
Gorsenia also makes matching Luisse F018 briefs in the same Almond shade. They are smooth microfibre, sit higher on the waist and give close to full coverage at the back.

Common questions
Is it padded?
The cups have no foam padding. The padding you can feel is in the shoulder straps, where it eases pressure rather than adding shape to the bust.
Is it underwired?
Yes. There is an underwire under each cup. The word soft here points to the unpadded cups, not to the absence of wires.
Will it show under clothes?
The cups are sheer rather than lined, and Almond is a warm beige. For some skin tones it can sit discreetly under lighter, thicker fabrics. Under thin or close-fitting clothing the lace, mesh and seams can show, so this is not a smooth T-shirt bra.
