Didn't fit
I have a shallow, wide root, and 28F fits me better than the same size in Cleo Lucy, which was too closed on top. However, I still get a "George fold" at the top of the Marcie, suggesting it's still a bit too closed/too much projection for me.
The first day, the gore was so painful that not only did I have red marks still visible the next day, but also the flesh under the skin of my sternum was really tender and sore for almost 2 days. I bent the wires away at the gore, which helped a lot. I'm also wearing it with an extender for now.
This bra is not the ideal shape for me, but it's really cute and I got it for 20% off, so I decided to keep it so I'd have one bra in the right size, until I found something better.
EDIT: I found something better for my wide, shallow shape - the Masquerade Alice (30+ bands only) and the Betsey Johnson Eyelet Lace demi (also 30+ only), so I gave away my Lucy to a friend with a narrower root and more projection.This bra is not owned any more
