root: wide, gradual v
fullness: slightly shallow, even

when i wear bras with U-shaped underwires, i can swoop and scoop as best i can but i always end up falling out of the cups at the end of the day. marcie's wires are not U-shaped, at least not in this size range. the wire's slope at the armpit is more gradual, which suits my IMF better. this is the closest that a bra's underwires have gotten to fitting me. that said, i would prefer that the wires be ever so slightly wider.

on most bras with lace that i've tried, the lace looks weird. the marcie is no different, but it's caused less problems than other bras. it gapes at the top edge, just barely, and has a tendency to bag in the middle of the cup, where the lace and cup connect. i've read on r/abtf that there is a defect in the lace that contributes to the wrinkliness.

i think the disagreement between the lace and my upper tissue causes marcie to give me a pointier shape than the round shape that it gives other people with shallower shapes and more FOT tissue. it doesn't help that my nipples are really puffy. i want to love this bra, but the wrinkling irks me, even if it is a small issue.

This bra is not owned any more

• in my size, 32J, that wrinkle is even more exaggerated and becomes 'in-cup quadding'. I love the bra as it holds me well and is super comfy, but I can only wear it in something that doesnt cling at all. I could even see the dent it gives me under most of my winter sweaters. Is yours also Raspberry color? I think thats the worst, but apparently the red was also bad.

• yes this is the raspberry. I read that there are discrepancies across different colors, but i had no idea it was that bad.

• I think this is so close on you, but looks slightly too narrow. If the lace is gapping at the top - have you tried Cleo Lucy?

• a few months ago. there was honestly even more wrinkling. I may order again and try to swoop and scoop better.

• update: i remember the 28D lucy being not just more FOB, but also more projected, and causing wrinkling everywhere, not just in the upper section.
