Pardon my Rant. So, I had heard that Cleo Marcie is a very comfortable bra which was good for FOB and uneven breasts. I am usually a 32 or 34 band size and a DDD or F cup. Since the Marcie was stretchy I found a 32 E on sale. I thought it might work. It was way too small in every way. So I then found a 34 FF on sale. This one is huge. The wires are I inch wider and the length of the wire is 2 inches longer than the 32 E. So big and uncomfortable, cups gaping, straps digging into the armpit, gore digging into the sternum and too high. I don't think I will even try for a 34 F because I think I will still have problems with the straps being too far apart and it will emphasize how uneven I am. I will keep searching for the perfect fitting every day bra. I do have an Anna Pardal custom bra coming. Perhaps that will be "the one"

So I think your main problem here is that 34FF is 3 cup volumes larger than 32E. That's why you found such a large increase in overall size of the bra. Also, Marcie is really best for full on top or even breasts. There are some full on bottom ladies it can work for, but it gives a lot of room for upper fullness. I would recommend trying it in 34E or F if you can find it with free returns just to get a better idea of your own sizing and shape.
marcies colors are also inconsistent - like the yellow had a tight band and the raspberry was loose . . .
