Marcie was one of my best fitting bras when I was a 28DD/30D size, and I wore it all last summer. However, I always felt that the fit was good, but not great. Something just seemed a little off, though the bra was comfortable. After revisiting the fit, I realized that this is because I was in a 30 band, which just didn't provide enough stability for me, and the cups were just a little bit small. Though the bra fit me snugly in the cups, I really needed longer wires and a little more room in the cup as well as a tighter band.

I am currently wearing a size 28E, though now I think my problems in the 30D would have been solved if I had been able to get a 28DD instead. So, for this style, I would stick with your snug band size and do not try to sister size. The sister size will probably feel comfortable and look OK, but Marcie really needs a snug fit for the cups and wires to fit properly.

I've found, however, that version of the bras with no printed text on the underwires fit me best. Some of the bras are made in China and some in Thailand, but the older model without printed underwires all fit well. However, there's something weird about the versions that have the print on the underwires, and I am not sure why. I've ended up reordering and swapping out every Marcie to be sure I get the older version.

One problem I tend to get with Marcie is that the underwires tend to behave oddly at the gore without some adjustment. Some of them cross at the gore, and others just poke inward until the bra is properly adjusted. Once it's adjusted, there's no issues with comfort, but it could be why many other people have commented that Marcie's wires are uncomfortable.

This is a 3 piece soft mesh cup, with double-lined bottom cups. The upper cup is fantastic on this bra, since it's embroidered mesh with no additional edge elastic. The natural stretch of the fabric helps it fit a number of different breast shapes without being too closed-off. The cups are embroidered with polka dots and the upper cup is embroidered with butterflies, but the embroidery and seams are not visible under clothing. Straps are nice and wide, and I like the texture, which helps keep the straps in place. The band is firm powermesh with a leotard back. Unlike Lucy, Marcie has a full band, so it feels extra secure on me.

I own this bra in 3 colors in 30D and in 2 colors in 28E, and have also tried on the 28F. Currently, 28E fits me best, though the overall bra feels a bit snug now. I tried sizing up to 28F but it was way too deep and tall in the cups. For now, 28E Marcie is still my best-fitting unlined bra. It's a bummer that it's finally been discontinued!
