This is the first bra I bought after measuring myself at between 28F and 30E, so I bought both of them off Amazon to compare. I found the 30E to fit more comfortably than the 28F; turns out that others have recommended going up a band size for the Marcie, so I returned the 28F and kept the 30E. Even so, I did find a couple of issues with the fit, with the gore and the cup size.
When I first received it and put it on, I found the center gore would dig into my sternum; after wearing it for 6 days, I found the gore much more bearable, after adjusting it every few hours for the first few days. The second issue is that after doing the scoop & swoop, I found that I got a slight quadboob effect, but not enough to warrant going up a cup size (and the 30Fs were twice as expensive!). The quadboob is only a bit more pronounced right before/during my period. There was also a bit of squish under my armpits, since the wires didn't go up high enough.
The great things about the Marcie: the straps were excellent and stayed on my shoulders (a first!), and I never had to pull them back up, and the bra is incredibly cute, with the cute aquamarine color and pink bow in the middle. Overall, a very cute bra that takes a few days to get comfortable.

[Edit on November 14, 2013] Lost some weight, and the quadboob has disappeared! Bra is really comfortable, now that I've gotten used to having a firm band. Quality is really great, and it's held up for months now!
