I think it looks better in the other colour though, like it's quite nice in red or black, but the pink and yellow - urk!

likeI love this bra, Marcie is my best fitting bra. I feel the yellow may be a little less stretchy than the purple but for me it's comfortable it doesn't dig in.
It's a personal problem of mine but I wish I could find bras almost exactly the same as the Marcie [unlined and lined] but with a little bit of a higher gore [i have quite a bit of center fullness, the straps slightly closer [I'm petite with broad shoulders] and I wish the wires went a little higher under my arms.
Also the colour is amazingly vibrant.Updated on Jul 25, 2014 Flag this

likeThis is for the RED marcie.
Writing this to tie the measurements in the table to the color here. Finally tracked down a red Marcie from a boutique in Ottawa. The band feels a little stretchier than the purple or pink. I still prefer to wear an extender with the purple and pink Marcies, but can comfortably close the red on the loosest/first hooks. Otherwise, no noticeable fit differences.Updated on Dec 02, 2013 Flag this

likeThis is for the turquoise model of the Marcie.
This is easily the best fitting unpadded bra I've owned. I love it. The band runs very small - I would call it a 26 rather than a 28, but that's great news for me. If you're a true 28 though you might seriously consider sizing up or picking up an extender. The lace at the top of the cups is very forgiving of asymmetries. My right side is slightly smaller, but the top doesn't gape at all. I do get a tiny wrinkle in the middle of the cup where the lace meets the mesh on my small side, ... but nothing noticeable under clothing. I'm fairly high set as well, and find that I do not have problems with this bra cutting in under the arms at the straps, as so many bras do. The gore is a little bit high so, being close set, the wires don't sit completely flat at the top. There is some extra space in the channels though, so it's easy to push the wires down in the middle to fix that.
Overall, this bra is a great fit, and plan on picking this up in red soon.

i picked up an old marcie off of vinted to test the shape but i suspect i might need to size down to 28f instead. the cups on the 28ff are maybe a half inch too wide and hurt at the sternum. i get some lace flapping on top if i am not standing straight.
i might keep this for now in case of size fluctuations. waiting on a 28f blossom in the mail, fingers crossed that it works better.Nude colorway

likeI wish this bra came in like a 28FF1/2 or something lol. My 28G is roomy at the top of the cup when I'm not on my period, whereas this blue baby is constantly about to quad. I also feel like the wires are stretched a bit too much and I should *technically* be wearing this bra w an extender. Alas - whatever.
Overall, though, great colorway, construction, and fit. I get AMAZING cakes on a plate cleavage in the Marcie and it is just. UGH. Chef's kiss.This bra is not owned any more

This bra is absolutely adorable, I love the bow embroidery on the top part of the cups! The cups give me the slightest quadboob, so I haven't decided if I'm going to take off the tags and keep it or not.

I tried this bra in my usual size 28F first and found it slightly too small. I was initially worried that a 28FF would be too big and it did look kind of big, but when I put it on the fit is decent. My shape is projected, fuller on top and centre, with narrow and tall roots, soft, self supporting tissue and super close-set. This bra has deep cups and is rather open on top even though the top lace section is not stretchy at all. The wires are a bit too wide for my very narrow roots but not significantly. Like all balconettes, the gore is too high and wide for me but I'm going to overlap the wires. Hopefully this will also make the wires sit narrower on the side. I would prefer more side/armpit coverage but everything else fits fine so I won't be greedy!

I guess maybe your boobs are too close to wear a balconette, I suggest you to try some wired triangle bras or polish brands plunges.

I received this from Ebay on auction for cheap af. Shipping was stupid expensive though. The bra arrived and the parcel smelled like an entire bottle of fabric softener.
It was overwashed and stretched out, discolored pink from original nude, and reeked (I mean absolutely reeked) of cheap soap or fabric softener. It was a bad choice to buy it but I learned that one does not buy used bras from Ebay unless they're unopened mint condition!
So, since I couldn't touch or keep it anywhere without everything giving me a migraine, I cut it open and saved the wires. Good riddance.

oh god UGGGGH I am so sorry! At least it was very cheap. Yeah, I do not buy clothes on ebay unless they are brand new with tags.
I suspect that the stench you thought was fabric softener was either from one of those no-rinse lingerie wash products--some of them are fragranced, and if the user takes that no rinse approach to mean they NEVER have to do a proper wash and rinse, it can really build up... or else a strong fabric deodorizer spray (in the USA they often use the brands Glade or Febreze, not sure if those exist in Norway but I imagine there are other brands there). Probably used because the owner was a heavy smoker. Either way yuck yuck yuck.

wendybien Oh yea I learned my lesson there 😂
I find no-rinse soaps/wash producys to be such a strange concept! I'd never heard of them before I got into bras and even then I still don't know why you don't rinse out the soap.
Alfhajdhdb never washing and rinsing your bras properly :s I can't imagine not rinsing the soap and grime out. And I also can't imagine using a deodorizer on fabric?? Like why don't you jusf wash it?? Bottom line is yeah, gross. But I super appreciate your comment because I felt so bad about it 😂 -
corvidsandtea unfortunately if clothes or other items are exposed to enough cigarette smoke, even a good wash will not truly get rid of the smell. Plus, if someone's whole house, hands, etc. reek of smoke then by the time the bra is dried after washing it probably picks up more smoke smell...
And the no-rinse concept disturbs me too! But people get scared by the marketing which claims bras are SOOOO FRAGILE and cannot be washed normally... To be fair those "soak" washes still dissolve and remove a lot of dirt. When people try them, they are usually impressed with the result i.e. a bra that looks, smells and feels clean. After that they are reassured so they just continue using it. And the manufacturers aren't very clear/honest about the fact that there are consequences if you never wash conventionally.

likeIt's a nice and comfy every-day bra. I have Marcie in 2 sister-sizes and 2 colorways ( the nude 30F and bluebell 28ff). The band is quite snug and the cups are quite deep.

Ha! I'm not impressed by the design of Marcie either. It's obviously well constructed - I could tell even though it didn't fit me - but that's all. Oh well!
