My Amazon bra adventure continues! I got 3 more today and the Cleo Marcie is the right freaking shape. even better than the CK Princess. I might need to go up a cup as I get some quadboob when scooped, but it's not because it's cutting into my tall shape.

I really don't get how bras are sized though. The entire rest of my life was basically "Ah, a 32B. That works" *cram cram* I mean, I get the volume thing, but you just can't tell by looking at a bra or finding your size at ALL. Measurements are a good start, but still sometimes confusing. If I go up a cup, I'll be wearing a 28E! Other bras, the 28D is a vast swimming pool. Thankfully, Amazon returns! Now should I keep a bright yellow bra? At least it isn't white?

The other bras were two Freyas, the Gem half cup and the Arabella. The Arabella (28dd)fit nicely around the actual boobs (Is it a FOT-friendly bra?) but the gore was wide as hades and gave me two weird separate boob compartments. The band is a little huge as well. Might work with gore adjustment, might not. SO pretty though.

The gem half cup was the right shape in the front, but so... low? Wings are low, so all my side boob was out, the band is stretchy like crazy and it was just meant for someone with a shorter root, I think. The wires might be too narrow as well. It didn't pinch but it wasn't flattering.

ETA: Look like the Marcie only comes in candy colors? Noooo. All my clothes are black! Please lingerie deities, black Marcies. Or at least nude.
