This review is for the bluebell colorway. This bra has great immediate projection and also enough room for my center fullness. There is also enough room at the tops of the cups to accommodate my tall roots. I have a bit of extra fabric at the outsides of the cups, as the wires are just a bit too wide for my narrow roots, but I also don't have much outer fullness. And this bra has narrower wires than most UK bras that I have tried in this size range. I find this bra to be quite comfortable - nothing really digs in anywhere. I also have this bra in this size in black and do not notice any fit differences between the two colors. Short roots or full on bottom boobs would likely have a problem filling out the tops of the cups, but this is a solid, comparatively inexpensive bra for those of us with tall roots. I lucked out and found this bra on sale at Amazon for $16.95, so it was a great find!

So based on the pictures, I think I can guess why we're having such different fits with our cousin styles, haha. I am also high set, but my vertical root is an average length. You appear to be high set but also have a pretty short root. Also, I'm not sure how tall you are, but I'm 5ft7, so if you're petite and the cup sizes don't scale down vertically, that could explain why this cup looks so tall on you.
What size were you wearing before that was too small? And in what way(s) did you feel was it too small? (Bulging? Quadding? IMF issues? Wire width?)
I don't know if they make the Marcie in a 28 band, but if so, I think you should try it in 28H, maybe even 32G with a rixie clip? I see the "eggplant in a bowl" phenomenon happening massively at the top, bottom, and sides, so I think this cup is actually way too big on you despite fitting you straight out front. I think you could absolutely size down at least one cup in this, maybe 2. It might take some sister-size finagling if you wanted to make it work, but it really looks like you've "sized up for depth" one (or two) too many cup sizes. I am getting much less projection than you, but my (fairly firm?) tissue is still able to expand upward and into the bottom of the cup. But it's also hard to 100% tell, because this bra is super tall for your frame.
Also! I just realized that if the Marcie fit you way differently in the smaller cup size, in might be that G/GG line where they suddenly overhaul the bra's design and make the cups way wider and taller. Even if a 32 band is too big for you without alterations, a 32G could fit you perfectly if it's on the other side of that irritating G/GG line most brands have.
Also also: I know the bands don't go down to your size, but Elomi has some excellent petite bras that might fit you if you're down to take in the sides or pop on a rixie clip. I'm not sure how the scaling would be, but the Etta and Carmen have extremely tight bands and reasonably short cup sizes in the upper categories. Lydia is great too, though the band isn't quite as firm. If you can find any of those in 34G, I think the cups might be perfect. I have one of those in a 34GG I'm about to sell for cheap, but it runs big so GG is probably too much cup.
