One of a few Marcie's I've gone through. I used to find Marcie (and Lily) pretty uncomfortable to wear because of how tall and wide the wires were in the upper cup sizes. I switched from 28 to 30 bands and found the fit considerably more comfortable. It only improved as my cup sizes decreased along with my weight.
When I first got it, it was maybe half a cup too small and I had a small bit of in cup quadding. The bra was (and still is) quite comfortable and in fact, I own another (used, yellow) 30G Marcie that I wear around the house, but with ... an extender - it's become that comfortable of a fit.
The wires could be a better shape for me (U shape is preferred) but they cause any problems.
As of today, this bra is too big in the cups for me. I sized down to a 30FF beige version, which is better, but I would like to note that I suspect this is where Marcie seems to switch from rather projected to quite shallow. The 30G has much more immediate projection along the wires than the 30FF. I have comparison pictures on my blog review for the 30FF beige version.

This bra didn't fit, but I have a detailed review of the 70GG version of this bra.

Along with Marcie, this has been a tried and true fit for me over my bra journey. I've owned it in a number of sizes and it's currently my best fitting bra. Though it's not my favorite in terms of appearance, I do prefer it over the swan and bird print versions. I do like the idea of quirky bird prints, but the execution of those particular colorways just wasn't to my liking.
The band is pretty spot on and the cups are nearly perfect. I wish the wires were shorter under the arms and more U shaped, but it hasn't been too uncomfortable to wear it, so far. The gore tacks wonderfully, which has been so rare for me. In fact, I eventually noticed a dull pain from it pressing so hard after a while. THAT was certainly a new experience. Oddly, it made me happy to know it was so firm in it's support, heh.
Once my camera arrives in the mail, I'll take better pictures and write a more detailed review on my blog.

This is one good looking bra. I bought it from another user to give the CHP style a try. As I suspected, it doesn't work for me at all.
Right now, I suspect my SM size to be 65HH/J - 70H/HH. Knowing people suggest going up a cup size in EM's padded styles, I thought the 70HH in this bra wouldn't be too far off... except maybe big in the band. Boy, was I wrong.
I would definitely need a 65 in this bra, or a might tighter 70. The band is very loose on me and moves around a bunch. For sure, a true 70/32 band. It's made ... of a nice material though, with the usual 3 hooks.
The cups are either a size or two too big, or the completely wrong shape for my boobs. There isn't nearly enough immediate projection for me, but I suspect too much apex projection/too open on the top. If there were enough immediate projection in a smaller cup, this might work out better. But alas... it doesn't work as is, so this one is going back up for sale. Sad, because I would have appreciated a padded bra for extra warmth in the coming NE winter. Not sure there is one out there for me.

I can't comment on the fit of this bra as it was much too small for me. Purchased this before I started my new bra life.
