Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG

I now understand why people rave over this bra. The shape is unique and very pleasing. It is a bit too open at the top of the cup to fit my even shape perfectly, but I do like it.

The wires are a touch wide, the gore is particularly wide, but doesn't bother me, and as with the Lucy, I have sister sized down to get the firmness of the band that I like.

I have the colour labeled "burgundy" but it really is more purple than red. I like it a lot. It does not show in all the pictures as well, but it really is quite dynamic and attractive. Plus, no neon anywhere! (I may remove the bow on the gore)

The shape is achieved by the angles of the seams. The bottom of the cup diagonal starts fairly low - at least half way down the gore - and the strap attachment and upper end of the diagonal is further into the center than most balconettes. The straps are a full two cm inside my Ewa Michalak BM. My Curvy Kate Bardot imitates this strap placement, but the Marcie vertical seam is two cm inside the Bardot and the diagonal on the Marcie is three cms further inside the Bardot so the rounding effect in the Marcie climbs inward along the wire and thus gives a flatter apex/nipple area and a rounder inner cup. I will try and draw what I mean.

The immediate projection is adequate and the strap set width, as already discussed it narrower.

I'd love some side boning and/or three hooks, but oh well.

The straps are not only scalloped on the outside edges, but ribbed so it is almost impossible to adjust the straps under tension, which means they will not be moving anywhere.
