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.
