    The vertical seam makes my boobs look a little pointy, and the lace doesn't lay flush against my skin, but apparently that's normal.

    I either need to trade this in for a smaller cup, or it's designed for fuller on top breasts

    I usually wear 30E but my underbust measures 28", so I thought I'd try a 28F. The band on this bra feels way too tight though and the cups seem small as well. I bought this used and the band stretches to about 30" but it really does seem too small/too tight which I guess is the cup not fitting. Perhaps the cups on this run small.

    I really do like this bra! My only problems with it are that the right strap falls off about once or twice a day - but that shoulder slopes, so there is nothing I can do about that really. The band is lose for a 28 I've heard, but I haven't worn any other 28's to make my own opinion on this. I have it on the middle hook from the beginning, although I do measure 25" underbust, so it could be too small. (so sister sizing for a couple of years is the way to go!) For me the cups are slightly too far apart for me, but not so far apart that it hurts.

    This is the pink Marcie, which I've heard runs small. The band is certainly tight, comparable to the yellow Marcie tightness, at least. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be more like a 28e or not, because it seems to measure around the same measurements for other Marcies in this size.

    The wires are really wide on me. I just remeasured my 28dd yellow Marcie and this bra is 2 cm larger than that! I guess I'm still in the 'wide and shallow' end of the Marcie spectrum. I'm not sure where that changes. The cups are also moving towards too tall. I get a little ... underarm rubbing and the lace of the cup is nearing full cup level.

    The projection is lovely, especially in the center and since I bent the gore, I can pull the bra up into my IMF, which I never could with the 28dd. There's some space above the nipple that wrinkles. I'm not sure if it's lack of full on topness, conical/puffy nippleness or what. I might not need so much apex projection.

    My only complaint about the actual bra is that it's not as high quality as my yellow. I wore that day in and day out for months, and it's still going strong. I did buy this bra used, but I see fraying edges and there's some poor stitching where the lace meets the cup.

    I really love the look and quality of this bra--and, yes, the lace should not be pressed flat against your chest if it fits correctly (try tucking the lace in to see if you're quading). I am even fullness and average on the shallow/projected scale with wideish roots. The band did stretch after just a few months, but it was on rotation with only two other bras. The straps also stretch a lot and sometimes I have trouble figuring out where to adjust them. Now it seems I quad a bit more and, since I have wider roots, my tissue isn't completely contained, but it isn't much of an issue. Overall, I'd recommend this bra to those who are FoB with averageish projection and medium/narrow roots.

    This is my goldilocks bra (as people say in the menstrual cup world). The shape is pretty near perfect for me--even my nipples line up with the seams without me having to swoop and scoop every hour. I am even fullness and average on the shallow/projected scale with wideish roots. The wires could be a bit wider and taller but it's not an issue.

  8. Juna Balconnet Bra (6461)

    I may actually have a winner here! This bra actually seems to fit quite well. I fill out the cups nicely; there is only a little gaping at the top of my smallest breast. I am not quite sure if the wires are wide enough, but don't think sizing up a cup would be right (the FF seemed a bit too big), and really hate the idea of a 30 band. This band seems quite firm, but I'm a) paranoid about a too-small band b) accustomed to my Freyas stretching out pretty quickly c) carrying more weight than I ought to for my frame but am exercising diligently. ... I think an extender for the first handful of wearings might be well-advised.

    The bra is quite comfortable and soft; the lace, which of course has the potential to be itchy, was not irritating at all. The straps should adjust long & short enough for me (I'm 5' even), though I'm not especially keen on the way they adjust from the shoulder instead of the back band of the bra. Personal preference, I guess. The shape is nice, too, though I do wonder if it is going ever-so slightly downward 7? I used to think I'm shallow, wide-rooted and FoB, but having done the "lean over" test, wonder if I am in reality fairly even.

    Overall, this seems like a nice bra. It's plain, of course, because of the colour, but neutral bras are always good to have, and I am still trying to find my size. The narrow straps are nice—sometimes the wider straps on some bras seem a bit overwhelming on my frame. They're also lightly padded (very lightly—it's just thicker fabric, I guess) for additional comfort.

    This is the first bra that really fit me. I love the Marcie. Great for even breasts. Gives a nice round shape. Tight band. I found that the cup ran a tad small for me (normally a 28E but E gave quad boob).

    Great bra, probably better for full on bottom or even breasts. The band is tight like most Cleos. Very comfortable for me, can wear all day with no issues.

    Very cute and would be very comfortable if it wasn't too small. Band is quite tight- not uncomfortably so, but definitely too tight. Getting some quadboob in the cups. As with the Marcie, the gore is too tall and doesn't feel good.

    Love this bra, which really suprised me as I was weary of non molded bras. I need a larger cup however, which is also a suprise to me! If anyone has a 28ff and/or 28G lmk!

    I love this bra! The colorway is beautiful and feminine and the cut off the bra works pretty well too. It's a tiny bit to narrow on my wider boob and too wide at the gore but overall I forgive this bra for giving me discomfort because of how pretty it is!

    This is for the Lime colored Lucy. It is very pretty, kind of like a light florescent green. I need to alter the center gore and the straps and then this bra would fit me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    One of my first tries at UK sizing. It actually fits great, but now I know that 28 bands hurt me after hours of wear (my body fat is low on my rib cage; not low everywhere :/). I am sure 30E would work in this bra. It is simple, comfortable and pretty. I prefer lightly padded cups, but this is a nice one that gives great lift and natural shaping. I never knew unpadded bras could give this kind of lift, so I suspect I will be wearing more of them than I used to!

    Band is waaaay too tight for me, but this is the most well fitting cup I have ever found in an unpadded bra. It is discontinued and I haven't found a 30E, so I will keep it and wear it with an extender. It sparked my interest in these Cleo unpadded bras and I have ordered a 30E Marcie.

    This is my favorite everyday bra so far. I wish it didn't have the lace on top, but it isn't too bad. It is very comfortable and a bit forgiving in fit (I can wear 28E, 28F and even 28FF sometimes). I thought I would prefer Maddie, but that bra does not work on me in any size; the cup shape feels odd on me and I finally gave up trying to find a good fit. Juna works great so far. Soft, stretchy and comfortable. It is very good under most clothing.

    Hasn't set fit

    I tried this bra on in many different sizes over the years before I saw it for very cheap on zulily.com and just bought it. I liked this size the most. It wrinkles a little but at the bottom but every single bra without push-up padding I have does that. If I lift the side of the cups up further, the wrinkling is less obvious, but it pushes the straps around oddly. Usually I'm not bothered by this bra.

    Hate: the color of the straps. The lace is not really visible under most light-colored clothes, so that's nice. The straps are, however. Ew.

    I feel like this is the first t-shirt kind of bra for me. The band is just right and the material is comfortable.

    Me: 27.5"-33.5", close-set and full. Usually stuck in 30-bands but I like a tight proper-sized bra when I can find one. Similar shapes may like this style.

    It's not the sexiest or most practical bra but it's not uncomfortable so it's great for sleeping.

    At recommendation of other Bratabasers, I sized up in the cup from the 28E I normally wear to a 28F. Seems to fit, though I wonder what a 28E would look like.

    Bra fairly squeaky/noisy on first wear.

    Will update post later.

    EDIT: Fits better than I recall it fitting the first time I wore it. I don't recall it squeaking anymore. I do have problems with the underwires digging in, but that is the only issue.
