Bra fitting help » Quadboob - wrong shape/size?
Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) » 38GG 38:10
Issue resolved
A different bra!
Original problem
I suspect these wires are too narrow for me, but the quadboob is an issue too. The band moves a little throughout the day, but only very little.
Some back fat is visible here, and also in my CK Emily (other listing help posted). I don't know if this is just fat, migrated tissue, or what. Scooping and swooping doesn't seem to make much of a difference (in any bra, not just this one).
Would a different size help, or is this style/brand just not for me? I believe I'm pretty full on top, but still figuring it out and have to shop online, mostly. Any and all suggestions welcome, thank you!

Depends what you are willing to put up with to wear this bra. A larger size would aleviate the quad on your bigger boob but would probably be flapping around on the smaller one. You would get more coverage in a cup up from the side and wires would get taller and wider.
The strap placement might get worse on the other hand and start to really cut into you.
I don't think this is a bad bra for you. I just think you and Panache Jasmine would be much happier together

I agree. Jasmine should be a better idea :) Marcie is a deceitful bad bra that imo doesn't work in cup sizes above G and band size 32 :D
Yes I am harsh on Marcie but just look at the pics of girls in Cleo Marcie (6831) here, it's quite a terrible bra on most ;/

eliza and Vee I managed to get my hands on a Panache Jasmine (6951) ! I'll upload pics as soon as possible - I was on holidays, then sick, then I moved, and I'm still unpacking. Can't quite manage to find my camera as yet. I also got my paws on a Bravissimo Alana (AU01). Both are much, much better fits than either this or my Curvy Kate Emily (CK5001) so I'm pleased. Thanks to you both for your help :)

I also suggest the Jasmine, I'm actually wearing it now. I had tried the Marcie and had very similar problems to yours! It & I just did not get along. It happens unfortunately!

lechevalnoir I managed to get my hands on a Panache Jasmine (6951) in the most beautiful colourway :) Pics on the way, when I find my camera (lost while moving...but I'm confident it'll turn up soon!).

helpfulTry the Panache Marcie too. It's for girls who are fuller on top, and that might reduce the quadboob. In fact, I ordered the Marcie just a bit ago in an attempt to alleviate the quadboob that the Panache Lucy gives me.

I didn't know there was a Panache Marcie, just a Cleo by Panache Marcie...do you have a link by any chance?
-
Panache is the brand, Cleo is the "make", and Lucy is the "model". Lucy, Marcie, etc are all different Panache Cleo models.
-
I've never heard of it being called a Panache Marcie, Juna, whatever it is. Just a Cleo by Panache, or Cleo on its own. But you've confused me. How is the Panache Marcie you mention different to the Cleo by Panache Marcie I'm wearing in this fit request?
-
Panache is the brand.
Cleo is the design line.
Lucy, Marcie, Bella, Jude, etc are all type of Panache Cleo bras. They are the specific types/models of bras.http://www.panache-lingerie.com/us/cleo-by-panache/collection/latest/
They'are all Panache Cleo bras. A lot of people just refer to them by Cleo Lucy or Cleo Marcie because it's shorter and a lot of people already know that Cleo is made by Panache. Some people refer to them as Panache Lucy or Panache Marcie because they're all Cleo models.

I do understand the Panache/Cleo thing, it's just that I've never heard anyone use them interchangeably, and it's not how they're worded on this site. But I'm still confused by what a Panache Marcie as you call it is, if not the bra I'm wearing above. That's why I asked for a link, if you had one.
-
My mistake. Looks like you are already wearing the bra I'm talking about.
-
Yeah, that's where my confusion came from. Thanks for clarifying.

The search continues! I'm on the hunt for a reasonably priced Panache Jasmine (6951) as someone on reddit suggested it for me too. I'm a bit sad about it though. I just LOVE the colour and style of this bra! Thanks so much for your response.
