likesThe EM has a rounder shape horizontally. The Marcie had plenty of room on top and in the center, but nothing on the outsides - leading to a weird torpedo boob shape for me. I will see if the wires stay in place. The wires aren't super comfortable but they don't hurt, so I call that a win... one thing I liked about the Marcie is the band and wires were tight but also felt solidly in place. For some reason I don't quite the same level of security with this EM bra. Might just be how the band is constructed, idk.
I think my chronic issue with wire discomfort and wires getting pushed down may at least in part be due to the bras lacking room for outer fullness (as well as possibly something about my rib anatomy). The Bravissimo Stella is the only underwire bra I've worn regularly - it functionally has no gore, and the triangle shape seems to work for my tissue distribution.
