Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) » 28FF 28:8
Issue resolved
I do think it's slightly too small right now (based on factors you can't really see in the pictures), but not small enough to warrant sizing up.
Original problem
Hi!
I'm just wondering whether this Marcie is too small for me and whether I ought to size up to 28G.
Evidence to support the argument that it's too small:
-if I really enthusiastically swoop, I get a bit of quadboob and then it "settles".
-there is some wrinkling at the bottom of the cup which wasn't there when I first got it.
-the gore seems to be tacking less firmly than before. This isn't a bad thing, since previously it dug into my sternum, but I do wonder if it's a sign of my having outgrown it.I'm very FoT, with tall roots, so I fill out the top without a problem. As you can see in the front shot, my nipples are starting to encroach into the top lace part, which I suppose might also be a sign of a wrong size. I'm not really sure where they're meant to be.
Other shape aspects: narrow, centre-full, projected-but-also-self-supporting, close-set.

I think this actually looks great on you! If it’s not uncomfortable in any way, I don’t see any reason to go up a size. I think you might find there would be a bit of gaping and uncomfortably wide wires if you did.
Quadding when you first put on the bra and then settling is very normal. Wrinkling at the bottom can be a sign that it doesn’t have enough projection at the wire, but it doesn’t look like it to me in this case; it’s not sliding out of the IMF (or at least doesn’t look like it from the pictures?), it’s just a couple little folds.

helpfulI did find marcie to be pretty tolerant of boob growth (until I outgrew the line entirely) so idk but its a cute color on you!

Thank you! The wires are actually slightly out of my IMF, but you can't really tell in the pictures. I think it's slightly too small at the moment (PMS boobs), but probably not too small to be worth sizing up in.
