This is a great balconnet, it supports great and is great for Full on top. I don't usually like animal print but this bra is so pretty that I bought it. Now, fit wise, the gore does not tack on me but sits on my boobs. There is no space between them so I need a plunge but I will wear a balcony. The support is great, gives fab lift and it's comfortable. I was hesitant at first because my bombs are Heavy, and I have been wearing 1/4 thick t - shirt bras up to this. But, I liked it so I tried it. It has two seams and supports with excellence. I have my cleavage with it just like my other bras. I recommend Highly.
I loved the shape of this bra under clothes, its uplifted and round. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the seams do not show up at all under even the thinnest of clothes and don't give even a hint of a pointy shape. Also it pushes my boobs together nicely so I don't have any excess side bulge/east-west shape. I also loved the secure feeling the longline band gives, so this bra is definitely on my wish list. The only problems were the colourful floral pattern, not very practical and means I wouldn't be able to wear it under anything thin, unless it was also floral, I guess. I wish they had a plain nude and black version. And the gore seems to be floating away from my sternum.. the wires in general don't seem to be flush against my ribcage but I think that maybe a design problem with all longlines anyway, as the same thing happened with smaller size too.
(The "How It Fits" is based on how it used to fit before my size changed.)
Among the Marcie cuts I've tried (Marcie, Bella, Natasha, Ellis, Zia), this is definitely the most FOB-friendly of the bunch. The top lace is stiff, which is part of it, but the cut also seems different from the others' somehow. It also (in my experience) gives the most rounded, lifted shape.
The band is quite tight, and the straps are JUST on the verge of not being long enough.
It is so pretty and fits so well and is so supportive.... and so tight in the band and so uncomfortable! The side boning is stabbing me. I added an extender which helped a little bit so I will probably keep using it. The side boning is also bending.
So damn great!! A well-fitting marcie beats anything. Perfect round shape, and it’s pretty and at least not uncomfortable. Great support. I just wanna go caress my boobs all day when tvey’re in it 😂 I have tried dealing with Marcie sistersizes but it just does not work for me.
I really like the look and fabric of this bra. Given that I have some neuropathy between ribs on one side, I struggle with banded bras and prefer the fit and look of a bra without a full band (no band under the cups). The Marcie barely has a band beneathe the cups but it is enough that I cannot place the wire in my IMF and wear it comfortably for long days. It's okay for occasions or an evening out, but not all day in a classroom. The Marcie's does have little thread loops to make it look like lace maybe, which doesn't hurt nearly as much as a band with real lace. I have cut up so many banded bras trying to get the annoying lace off https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />. The Marcie fits differently than the Kali and I'm at a loss to explain the difference since they are both balconettes.
I have this bra in a variety of sizes. I believe though that this one may be mis-marked as to size...it does not have same fot or measurements as other that is supposedly the same size. This one is too big in most places-can't fill bottom of cup and yet it causes quad-boob on left side. As always fabric and manufacturing is great. These always start out a bit stiff but within a couple washes are comfy. Cleo bands are just too short....for the first six months or so I have to use an extended on the 34's and sometimes on the 36's. These bras, with care appear to kast about 18 months before too stretched out for comfort.
This was my first foam cup bra and I am learning -- and whether or not this bra is the right size I don't know, but it's certainly the wrong shape. I'm not certain whether the cups were too widely spaced when I bought it, but I think probably so... anyway, the gore has stretched at least half an inch (bow is no longer symmetrically placed) and the bra now cuts into the inner curve of my boob while the outer upper corners aren't quite filled. Also I think I need more immediate projection; when I put it on the bottom inch or so of the cup doesn't ...fill. If I smooth my breasts into place I fill all of the area of the bra, sort of... but they won't stay there, and the migration to center is really not flattering. Also, the nude fabric quickly picked up dye from dark shirts I wore over it. And since the second or third washing, it squeaks. ETA: one other nice thing I can say about this bra is that it gives me almost no armpit muffin. That is appreciated. Read more 80 more words
I just got this yesterday, and the fit is great. There is a little bit of gapping in the cups, as I believe I'm an ff instead of a G, but the wires follow my roots the best of any bra I've ever had. I was concerned that the band would be too stretchy, but, it fits really nicely, firm. I love a wide firm band, so this is great.
This fits very well overall. The band is snug but not uncomfortable and there is no quadboobing over the top. However, there is slight in-cup quadboob but nothing major and it will most likely stretch a little. The straps are soft against the skin and the fabric of the cups is not scratchy at all.
This is my current best fitting bra - I have both the swan print and the bird print. I'm pretty narrow and projected and this bra gives me great uplift with roundness. My breasts are fairly close-set (1 to 2 fingers apart) but splayed so I love that this brings my breasts to the center. I think I can still use a little more depth because I notice that the center seems cuts in just a bit when wearing fitted tops. I'm FOB so I do have a little extra fabric at the top but it's not noticeable. I would prefer if the gore were a little lower because the gore and bow is visible when I lean forward even slightly. I would also prefer the gore to be a little narrower.
I've been looking for a nude, unseamed bra to wear under sheer and tight fitting tops. My current best-fitting bras are unlined Cleos. This bra is a definite shape mismatch for me since I'm narrow and projected. I found that it didn't give me a lot of support and I the underwire dug in after a short amount of time and was pretty uncomfortable. It did give a good amount of cleavage though.
I love this bra. It is very comfortable. The lace at the top of the cup is a bit loose, but doesn't show under tops. I do find the gore a bit high and pokey for my close set boobs. The projection is great and it gives me a nice, upfront, and rounded shape.

I love the colour of this bra. The fit is reasonably good. It doesn't bring my boobs to the front of my body as much as I prefer. I think it would be better suited to someone with wider roots than I have. The top seam shows through most of my tops. Overall, I only wore it a few times before accepting that it doesn't work with my shape.
I love the bright happy feel of this bra! This bra works really well well for my fairly even boobs. Much tighter across the top than the Cleo Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) I do find the gore a bit tall and pokey, especially now that I have lost weight. When I first bought this bra it fit perfectly, with a tiny bit of quad-boob around shark week. Now that I have lost weight it is perfectly filled right after I swoop and scoop but it wrinkles a bit across the top after I have had it on for a while. The band I think is true to size and comfortable. In a perfect world it would not be as high under the arms and a bit narrower, but it is one of the best fitting bras I own.
First the positives: I like the colour (purple style with a salmon bow) and the embroidery. I also like the materials; I find that non stretch cups afford more support and I like the heavy mesh back. This bra is very supportive an gives a rounded, front and center look. I had high hopes for this bra and really wanted to like it; the cut and construction reminds me of my favourite bra from years ago. However, I find this bra very uncomfortable. I think I should have gone up a cup size as I get a fair amount of quad boob depending on how I ...stand/move and the gore does not tack. Although I can clasp the band it is very tight and the bottom of the gore digs in painfully (if anyone knows what causes this or how to correct it, please let me know), even if I use an extender. The gore problem may be because the cups are too small and my tissue is shoving the band down my body. I have heard that Lucy can improve after some wear, so fingers crossed. Read more 85 more words
I normally have good luck with Cleo padded Balconette bras, but this particular cut seems to have a much stretchier band and a slightly deeper cup than other similar Cleo bras in a 36G. I am usually a 34G or 36FF in other bras but generally require a 36G in @Panache and @Cleo bras because they have firm bands and seem to have smaller cups. I fasten this bra on the tightest hook for it to be snug enough and not ride up, which means I won't get a lot of life out of this bra, but it IS super cute and works well with my slightly fuller-on-top breasts.
