This bra was a gamble. I normally wear a 30 band but this 32 seems to fit fine. I wear it on the middle set of hooks and it is decently tight enough, though not as tight as my 30 bras. I think I'm forgetting how sister sizing up works, but I think this 32E size is equivalent to a 30F band? The cup fits great. I wasn't sure if it would work because I keep reading everywhere that Marcie is for upper fullness and I identify more with having even fullness. But it seems to work for me so I'm not sure what's going on exactly. I haven't come across a Cleo unlined bra that hasn't worked for me (in the correct size, anyway.)

I really want this bra to fit. It's very pretty and interesting but I don't have enough upper fullness. Also the straps feel slightly too wide and dug a bit into my armpits. The band is very snug. Beautiful bra, but sadly does not fit me.

Very cute bra with lovely embroidered birds and branches on the top lace of the cups. Fits very well, but I'm not loving the stitching on the cups. The fabric on the lower cups where it meets the underwire is ...wavy. Like the fabric wasn't pulled taut when it was sewn. Same with the lace on the top. There aren't any puckers, but I notice the unevenness when I wear this. This bra is very similar to my Cleo Ellis and will probably be another favourite of mine. The strap material is very bright and doesn't quite match the lace.

I bought this bra used but new with tags. The bra does not work for me because it is just too small. I found it did not have enough projection for me because it was folding at the bottom of the cups. This would force the bra to sit below my breasts and lower the top (which looks shallow) to create quad boob. This bra would be a better match for someone who is shallow and needs less projection. The band would suit someone with a 28" and less ribcage. Comes with original tags and straps.

I bought this bra used but in good condition from someone on Reddit. The only defects are a seam on the left cup, the brand label is missing, and the back material near the hooks has some strained spots. The band is difficult to do up, but with some more practice I should be able to get the hang of it. The cups fit well, but have an east/west look which isn't my favourite. As well, the band comes up quite high and gives me lots of fat spillage. Otherwise the bra is really pretty and as it breaks in to my body it should become more comfortable.

This bra offers more coverage, but is still quite boobsie. I like that it is versatile and can be worn different ways. Wish it had more projection though. My boobs are forced very high and so there is more cleavage than I'm comfortable with. So far it's the better fitting one of my swim tops but the hunt continues...

You know you've bought too many bras all at once when you forget to add one to Bratabase. Such a pretty pattern but not the greatest shape. It's definitely more teardrop than rounded. Lovely colour, lace, and bow details. The plunge lies flat and doesn't cut in like my other 30E Freya plunge has begun to do. Very nice. Glad I was able to find this.

I am very happy with this bra. It seems to fit similar to my Cleo Marcie but has stretch lace instead. The lace lays well but has a loose feeling and I think some support is lost. This is a really attractive bra but I wonder how durable the material will be.

Fits nicely. Better fit than my 30E black Lucy. I might need to start searching for a 30F in black to replace it. This is my only white bra that I own. Not the most attractive bra ever, but it fits so that's what is important.

I purchased this used with the knowledge that it may not fit me. I had heard that the top lace section is sometimes too tight and this seems to be the case with me as well, even though I identify with having even fullness. Perhaps the black colour way is smaller slightly? I also found that the wires don't lay flat and I had to bend them inwards at the gore. I also think the gore is too wide for me. I like gores to be less than an inch because I'm close set. I may alter the gore to make it thinner.

I don't mind this bra, even with its faults. My breast feel swollen this week so hopefully it will fit better later during the month.

I've added new, better photos that hopefully have better lighting. This is also fitting better now as well.
