i think i should have gotten a 30HH instead because the band is quite strechy (well strechier then the zia for example, probably a bit looser as well). i like this bra but i wish it had three hooks instead of just two, i dont feel as secure as i would like to feel (this might be because of the too loose band though). cups seem true to size to me.

Update 04.02.2013
the band is just way too big, i get shoulder pain after wearing it for a while. im probably gonna buy a new one in 30HH though.

I have just compared the marcie to the the cleo zia bra in 32H and i think the band of the marcie is just a tiny bit longer, but way stretchier!

I have this bra in a 32H in 5 differnt colourways now (I usually size up in Panache bras to a 32HH). The fit is similar to the other colours that I have reviewed:
This bra gives a very projected look. I don't get as much loose lace in the cup as I did with the raspberry colourway & this reduces as I wear it. The cup depth/projection is great for my breast shape & I find this bra extremely comfortable to wear (I can almost forget I am wearing it). My boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection.

I bought this bra in a 32H in black (I usually size up in Panache bras to a 32HH). This bra gives a very projected look.

I this bra so much I have it in 5 different colours.

This is my second marcy I've tried, the first it was a 32J And it was big all over except for the band It was perfect. So I got a 32H because I've read the cup runs very big assuming a 32 HH is my ideal size (still not 100% what my size is)I'm going by trial and error with this. It fit better than the 32J marcie but it's either too small or I don't have enough depth in the cup for my breast. On top of that I have no outer breast, like none what so ever. Period. I have all inner fullness, with full on top, and pendulous with a narrow root. It give me such a weird shape. I want to keep it cause I'm tired of looking but it just doesn't look right.

I bought this bra in a 32H in raspberry (I usually size up in Panache bras to a 32HH). I get some loose lace in the top of the cup as I don't fill it but it isn't enough to bother me and reduces as I wear it. The projection is great & I find it very comfortable to wear. My boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection. I plan to buy it in nude and black and will update my review with the fit in these colours.

Beautiful, vibrant red. This bra is awesome for full on top types, those that are close set and some inner fullness. I grew out of the 32H pretty quickly when I first got it, as I had some tissue migration. I am now closer to a 30H/HH and after trying the Marcie on again recently, it is just not a good fit - too open on top and empty space on sides, plus the band is a bit big.

I ordered this as I am a 32H in Cleo Minnie and Erin, but I am definately not a 32H in Marcie, this bra is just too big.

This is probably my favorite bra. The wires are not as wide as some other Cleo bras, but it is still able to contain my fairly wide rooted breasts. The projection is amazing, especially towards the center which is excellent for my close set breasts. The shape is amazingly round. The kind of round shape you get with the Marcie is rare in unlined bras. The band is firm but stretchy, so I'd recommend ordering your typical size. The cups are VERY open up top. I'd recommend ordering a cup size down from what you would wear in other Cleo bras (Lucy, Maya, etc). I have even/bottom fullness, but I have even heard of gals with lots of upper fullness needing to size down.

Lovely bra I think, if it fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Cups are way too large, and the central core pokes in at the top, a bit painfully so, probably as the wires come too far up in the centre. Unfortunately I'm limited in what I can say/don't feel I can give this a proper review, as it obviously doesn't fit, which isn't the poor bra's fault. Nice thick straps https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It does give a really nice shape under clothes, nice and uplifted/high boobies, despite my not being able to fill the cups - the photo shows there's ... quite a bit of empty fabric at the top - I'm going to attempt to cut, fold and stitch this so that it fits better. The uplift appears to be quite good under clothes (hard to see really in the photo because I am seemingly unable to take a photo of myself, totally clack handed I'm afraid). I think the band fits quite well other than the central core bit, it feels comfy on first try on, I like to feel hugged quite tight.

This is my best fitting bra, the central gore is narrow so good for my close set pair, and tallish so good for my fullness in the middle.
The elastic lace allows them to get close which is where they like to be, the shape is very rounded and this bra has great lift. All that and its really pretty too. I do wish the band came with 3 hooks rather than 2 but that is not a dealbreaker for me
