This is for the purple Marcie.

It will be a very sad day if the Marcie is ever discontinued - I absolutely love this bra! As I'm learning more about my shape, I think I'm fairly "even" (not really top heavy, not really bottom heavy), but my tissue extends up to my collar bones so I think I can sometimes handle styles that are good for more top-heavy breasts, as the Marcie is supposed to be. If you're similarly shaped I highly, highly recommend this bra. The fit of the purple is very similar to that of the turquoise version I reviewed earlier, but I'll mention a few thoughts ... anyway:

*The gore is a bit high, but there is enough extra space in the channels to facilitate pushing the wires down a bit in the middle so they come up a little bit around the sides. It's fine after that minor adjustment. If I don't do that the wires kind of get pushed together strangely in the middle. It doesn't alter the fit at all, and it's not uncomfortable in any way, just a little quirk.

*The band is small and pretty firm. I'm wearing bras slightly looser lately, and an extender with this to add one extra set of hooks is perfect. For reference, I'm 25-26 inches underbust. The purple might be a tiny bit smaller than the turquoise, but not enough to very noticeably impact fit.

*The deep purple color is so pretty!

This is such a pretty bra, but the wires are a bit too wide for me. I lost weight and it didn't fit at all now.

This bra is still so gorgeous and the fabric is so soft. Unfortunately the size is too big for me though it is not way too big. The shaping on this bra even in this too big size is doing a great job of lifting my drooping rather empty boobs. The wires in this size are too wide for me as well. I will be returning this bra with the hope of finding one in the right size for me.

The Marcie is a very light weight, breathable bra that provides a good amount of support for how delicate it seems. The lace on the cups is very comfortable and not at all scratchy, and the mesh of the rest of the bra is equally comfortable.

I found the band to be quite snug for a 28. It's almost to the point where I would prefer to wear it with an extender, but not quite. I think for anyone who is on the cusp of being a sub-28 band, this would be a nice bra to experiment with if you're not yet ready to jump into the custom pool. ... The band is also fairly firm-- it didn't seem to me to have a ton of give to it.

The cups are, like my Cleo Melissa, up front. On me, this bra creates a nice rounded, perky shape that I really like. I think everyone has a perfect style out there for them, and it seems to me that the George/Marcie/Melissa family is the one for my boob shape. The underwires sit about a fingers length back from the edge of my root, but that's my only real complaint about the cups of this bra. Otherwise, it fits very well.

I've worn this bra for a bit, and the only thing I will say is that after a full day of active wear, the sides can dig in just a little bit. I think this might have to do with the fact that I've lost a good deal of weight recently and don't have as much padding as I am used to, however.

I have a serious case of Cleo love thanks to these bras. I've always thought Cleo's designs were often cuter and more attractive than other brands, but I largely stuck to the Juna family, which fit...

The turquoise fits the same as the red version....extremely tight band included. I am wearing it with an extender.

I love the look of this bra, it is the only completely unpadded bra that gives me a good round shape and some lift. It doesn't give as much lift as I like, but I only get that with moulded cup bras.

The gore height in the middle is not as much of a problem as I thought it might be, as sternum stabbing gores are a common problem for me, although it does push into my sternum somewhat. The cups and band seem to run true to size for me, the stretch is 28" so it is a nice snug 28 band.

The cups are ridiculously wide on me, almost going around my back. If it wasn't for this, I would absolutely love this bra, but I need very narrow underwires and these are way too wide.

I really love this bra. When I first put it on the cup does seem a bit small and I fall out a bit, but during the day I seem to settle into it and it ends up fitting really well. Although the bow doesn't really sit flat, as I think my breasts are so close together that they push the bow askew. The back fits perfect, as do the wires. And it is really pretty.

Fits great. Band is a bit snug but not in a bad way. The one problem I have with it is the texture of the straps make them seem scratchy.
