Didn't fit

I tried the Cleo Hettie first, but it was a shape mismatch. Too closed on top, giving me a torpedo shape. I had heard the Marcie needs a lot of top fullness, and I would have to agree. I can't quite fill the tops. BUT, it's close enough that I can fix it with a little tack. I'm quite happy with this Marcie in other respects. The material is a soft mesh and the cups are topped with a non-stretch lace. The polka dot pattern is subtle and cute, and the straps have ribbing on the tops for visual interest. The band seems to hold in place pretty well and there is still some, but less slippage out of my IMF.

The Marcie and Hettie are able to hoist my heavy boobs for good uplift. The Marcie gives a nice round shape. (Looks like a kidney in the dusky rose https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_neutral.gif" alt=":|" /> ) It gives almost too much vavoom for me - my boobs are higher than I'm used to for sure!

I will either keep this one or exchange it for a different colorway if I can find one in my size.

Dusky Rose colorway

    Unless you need the bra wires to be that wide, I bet you could size down one cup size and still be comfy. I find Marcie to be quite generous in the cup in this size range.

  • Oops! I didn't mean to submit this as an adventure. Seems to be no way to delete, so enjoy my bland review! :)

  • cupandahalf Thanks for the tip! I have free returns on this one from Amazon, so maybe I will try it a cup size down.

Nearly fits. The tops of the cups are too big, but can be tacked down.

Top of the cup:
Wrinkles, can't quite fill it

This bra didn't fit her, but these did
