I used to fit into the 32FF Marcie Balconnet Bra and I loved it. I wore it for years (since 2016) until the band was just too painful. (Which took me too long to admit.) Unfortunately, the cup size changes between the G and GG and since I need an H, this bra is no longer for me, HOWEVER, if you are a G cup or under, I HIGHLY recommend this bra if you have close set breasts and need a shorter gore, and like your wires not to be as long. I'll end up trying the H later, but with how high the cut came up on ... the GG, I just don't think this one is for me any longer. My 32FF has still held up though. It looks good as new, even washing it in a washing machine without a bra bag and on normal wash settings (but I always hang dry it). Straps are pretty wide set though, so if you have narrow shoulders, like me, you'll have to either get a clip, crank them down, or get used to them slipping. They have fully adjustable straps though!

Very comfortable, and a pretty good fit! I have narrow roots and a FOB outside-heavy shape. This bra fits well enough to be comfortable, and gives a nice smooth shape under clothes. But there's some wrinkling at the top where I don't quite fill up. I just read that Marcie is good for FOT shapes and that Cleo Lucy is similar but better for FOB. I'll keep this one, but I just ordered a Lucy and hope it will fit even better.

Edited to add: The 36FF - Cleo » Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) does fit even better, but that one is hideously uncomfortable. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

A few weeks later I'm still happy with this bra. I'm wearing it with an extender and it's very comfortable. It gives me such a front-and-center lifted shape, I feel 10 years younger. Unfortunately there's some empty lace flapping in the breeze where I don't have the top fullness to fill it out, but I can live with that. It doesn't show under clothes.

This is my first fitted bra and it's just too small for me. But the Marcie in general is one of my favourite bras!

Finally got one cause of all the hype! I slightly prefer the shape of the Melissa but this is great too. Very impressed by the softness of the lace and other materials.

As in all Cleos I've tried, I find the band very tight and have to wear an extender; would prefer a 38F. Straps are borderline too tight and the metal ring irritates my back occasionally.

And as in all my bras, I bend the wires outward at the gore and sides to prevent them from poking. If I did not do this I would find Cleos unwearable in any size.

My breasts are even/slightly full on bottom, and the top of this bra fits me just fine. So while it might be truly great for FoT breasts, I wouldn't rule it out just because you're FoB.

This is my first bra in what should be my correct size. The band is snug feeling but it rolls up. I also can stretch it fairly far away from my body. The underwires are a little too narrow for me I think because they pulled out of their channel a little on the side under my arm. I really like the soft cups. I have only ever worn padded bras until now. I may never go back! This bra doesn't fit as well as I hoped it would but it sure fits better than the 38DD that I was wearing before!

Fits similar to the @Cleo Lucy. At the end of the night the underwire does poke into my armpit area, however is very comfortable until then. It also gives me a great shape.
