I really like the shape and cleavage that this bra gives me. Both the band and the straps seem to be a bit flimsy, especially for a bra in this band/cup.

Updated on Mar 12, 2014 Flag this

The band on this definitely feels more like a 30 than a 28, and the cups on this seem just a bit smaller than what I would consider normal for a 28ff. The other thing I don't like is that the straps don't adjust completely. It fits fine now, but I worry that if it stretches at all I might get to the point that I can't adjust the straps tight enough.

The bottom section of this bra fit me fine, but the lace on the top didn't lay flat at all. I thought this was strange since the cleo lucy fits great in a 28ff. I think I may not be full enough on top to fill out the lace on this one. It's unfortunate though because this was so pretty.

This fits wonderfully... like it was made for me. I'm definitely going to have to get more than one. I got this in the neon orange color. Only the embroidery is orange, the rest of the bra is a soft pink color. The band is a firm 28, but seems quite stretchy, and the wires are plenty wide. The lace on the tops of the cups lays much flatter on me than some of the other cleo balconettes (Lily and Ellis).

I love the pattern and look of this bra; it's so cute! The wires on this are just wide enough for me and I like that the straps adjust completely.

However, there's a little bit of wrinkling in the upper section of the cups - more so than on the Cleo Lucy (but it mostly isn't visible under shirts). I think a 28F would be too small. The other thing is that the wires are still a bit too separate at the top of the gore. It may just be that they come up too high for my very close-together boobs. Usually what happens is that one of the wires gets pushed out a bit while the other lies flat. This isn't uncomfortable though and it's probably one of the best I've found so far!

As Cleo Juna (6461) , this one is soft and lovely to wear. The materials are good and colour's just so pretty.

How ever, doesn't meet the width of my breasts. But there isn't remaining empty space in the cup, so the shape isn't too projected, which seems to be usual problem with unfitting bras. The lace on the edge doesn't get wrinkly and smoothes the edge - sure, it can be seen trough sheen blouse, as like the colours too, but that's of course nothing to worry about with basic clothing.

The shoulder straps are slender yet sturdy.

Cute bra! The bird print is fun. The cups are nice and deep. Tight band...I could have/should have sized up in the band on this one. Wearing it with an extender right now.

The cup wrinkles just a tiny bit on the top. Seems to be my boob shape though. If I thoroughly s&s, it actually fits very nicely, but then they sort of slide away again. They like being in my armpits....

Cup width on this one is pretty much exact. The wires are nice and high - my boobs are contained.

It's a bit scratchy, and the gore is a bit pokey. I'm expecting both of those things to go away with time and washing.

By the book, I fit this bra perfectly. It has a soft comfortable matieral and lifts me up. But it does something weird to my shape, especially with a T-shirt over it. Makes me look broad and flat, and I'm not sure how, because it does project out. I prefer the shape the maddie gives me over this one. Going to return.

Cup height (measured along the outside center, including the lace): 6.5"

The band on this is SUPER firm, which is awesome! And the straps are fully adjustable. But the cup comes up too high for my liking on my very short roots, so I may have to rehome this one.

The lace also doesn't sit quite flat along the seams on the top, which surprised me because I'm fairly full on top (but maybe leaning closer to even). This could also be due to my short root. I have some trouble swooping and scooping because the lace is very snug and covers my entire breast, but it doesn't seem to affect the issue with the lace.

The uplift and roundness is spectacular in this. The bra is not padded, per se, but feels nearly as thick as my Freya Patsy Half-Cups.

It's very pretty and has some nice detailing, like a cute little bow and rose charm in the center.

This is for the Candy Pink model.

Picked this up almost immediately after getting the purple version - I'm a Marcie addict! Eagerly awaiting release of the yellow version. Same fit as the purple and turquoise. Maybe slightly smaller than the turquoise, but there are no resulting fit issues. Mainly writing this so the color of the bra can be tied to the measurements I entered in the measurement table.

I would swear the bands are getting tighter and tighter. No complaints, I'll just use an extender, but I would consider trying out a 30 band.

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!

I own another Cleo bra in 28FF so I knew this one would fit me. I have to say that I really like it.

My biggest complaint about this bra is that the band is loose. I still will wear this bra because its wearable even with how loose the band is.

Updated on Nov 04, 2013 Flag this

Fits well but doesn't give very much cleavage. Also kind of caves in right above the underwires after a few mins of wearing it. Underwires start to dig in and get very uncomfortable. Maybe I need to get a bigger band size?

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.

Updated on Sep 28, 2013 Flag this

This bra works for me. I guessed it would, because it's shaped like my natural boobs. I sized up the cup because it supposedly runs small.... and it worked.

The only thing I don't like is the 'wide' silhouette it gives (Yes, yes, I know, that's my natural boob silhouette... but still... it just looks more perky if it doesn't do that)..... But I suppose this problem only exists in the presence of a small waist... so it's kind of a luxury problem.

The band does seem to stretch out a bit though.

Update: after 4 months of wearing this bra (attained via bratabase with no significant prior wear) I'm tossing it. I had no issues with the minimal centre gore, but that is an instable spot in the bra, and despite the band being comfortable: not too tight at all, I am wearing a 28 band on a 26in ribcage, the wires seem to move outward, leading to the centre gore and part of the cup in the centre literally cutting into my skin. This is quite painful.

Awesome bra, and great for practical use, but just not good for my breast shape.

Pretty good fit for me! I'm full on top and it seemed to be mostly fine. The only thing is that it was kind of closed on top for me and also, the gore is a little painful but I just don't wear balconettes very well.

The band of this bra is on the tight side, I think a 30 band would have been tight enough for me and I use an extender for now. On the other hand I had a Lucy in 30F which stretched out very fast but that was the pink/white color way so I don't know if I will have the same issue with this one (purple).
Apart from the band this bra fits me well and gives a nice rounded shape. For the first few wears the underwire under my left arm (where my wider boob is) poked me but now that it's broken in I don't have any discomfort.

Fine bra, but not the right shape for me (I am 1/5, narrow, FOB).

Cups were too shallow which lead to an overall flattening and east-west appearance.

Wires were too wide leading to a gap at the strap, but quad-boob in the middle.

These two issues were not alleviated by sizing up to the 28G which was just too large.

Fabric was very soft and smooth and felt very comfortable.
