This is such a pretty bra! I haven't had much luck with the Cleo Lucy and it was suggested I try the Marcie since the top of the cups is supposed to be a little more forgiving. The shape of the Lucy was just all wrong for me, made my girls look very awkward and unflattering, but still fit in a 28G. So I figured maybe I would do better in a 28FF with the Marcie. But the cups were a bit too small, I have a little bit of quad boob. It actually looks great from the front, but when I'm at an angle the cups just don't look right. The top of the cup digs in and it gives me a very pointy shape. So I think I might need a 28G in this bra after all.

The wires are just a teensy tad narrow for me but not too bad. Again, they'd prob be better if I size up in the cup. The gore was actually a little tall for my liking but didn't bother me at all. Usually the taller gores will dig into my sternum. But this fit perfectly, and comfortably. The band was a very tight, firm 28. I measure 26-26.5" in the underbust and it was a tight squeeze on the loosest hook! But again, not bothersome to the point I couldn't breathe. It felt nice and snug, perfect for me, without riding up. The straps seemed a bit too far out but weren't falling off my shoulders. I just wish there were 3 rows of hooks and eyes for the larger cup, but the bra still felt supportive. The material is a very sturdy mesh and didn't irritate or feel scratchy on my skin.

I would def recommend this bra! And I'm bummed the 28FF didn't work for me. I will be keeping an eye out for this same exact bra in a 28G (I do like the Teal colorway as well). I just hope it doesn't come down to a shape mismatch instead of a sizing issue because this bra is adorable. I really want it to work!! I'm giving Cleo one more shot with this in a 28G!
