Didn't fit
I can see why this bra is so well liked, and it's worked out pretty well for me, however, there are a few glaring issues that I believe can simply be chalked up to my body type.
The most glaring issue is the underwire. It's too wide and digs into my armpit. Also, the bottom of the bra doesn't meet my inframammary fold, instead it sits just below it. The underwire extends a bit long at the center gore and pokes into my chest making it uncomfortable. Also, if I were to buy this bra again I'd probably go for the 36HH as opposed to the 38H that I currently have because the band rides up in the back. All of these things aren't really problems with the bra itself, though, and more so just personal issues I have because of my body type being incompatible.
Aside from those personal issues, Cleo Marcie is well constructed and the fabric is breathable. The band was a bit stiff at first, but it quickly wore in to the point where it was too big, so if you pick this bra up and are worried that the band is too tight, expect it to stretch quite a bit - you may even have to size down, but that's unlikely. The lace at the top of the cups is not stretch so it can cause problems for FOT girls. I'm slightly FOB/pretty close to even fullness and I did have some slight issues with quadboobing for my larger breast, but nothing that was super noticeable under clothes. If I was fuller on top or if I went a size down, I definitely would have issues with this non-stretch lace. FOB girls should have no problem.
The design is attractive and I love the colors, but this is a personal opinuon, so it's not really worth going on and on about. It's worth a side note, though.
In closing, this is a good bra for FOB-even fullness, projected girls with either a medium root or a slightly wide or slightly narrow root - but if you have very narrow roots, you'll probably experience digging in of the underwire like I have.
