Definitely smaller in the cup than the styles I'm used to (Juna, Meg/Lilly). I wear a 32H or 34GG in those, but this one fits like a 32/34G. I wanted to try a bandless one but I would need a 32J, maybe, and then I'd expect the wires would be too wide.
Cute, though, and seems well made.

This cut is deep & projected but a bit closed off on top, which makes it a no-go for many. It works for me, although the straps are VERY wide set, which can become uncomfortable at the end of a long day. The bands only have 2 hooks, which I think is ridiculous for cup sizes above F, but the support is nonetheless excellent. Lift is excellent. Quality is excellent. Pattern is freaking adorable.

I don't know if my breast being soft are being molded like pudding to the bra instead of the bra moulding to my breasts. I can tell the band will stretch out fast, so that is a bummer. And the straps rub so hard it hurts. The stretchy top lace is a little loose. I used to think I was fot I'm starting to believe I might fob instead

This is my second marcy I've tried, the first it was a 32J And it was big all over except for the band It was perfect. So I got a 32H because I've read the cup runs very big assuming a 32 HH is my ideal size (still not 100% what my size is)I'm going by trial and error with this. It fit better than the 32J marcie but it's either too small or I don't have enough depth in the cup for my breast. On top of that I have no outer breast, like none what so ever. Period. I have all inner fullness, with full on top, and pendulous with a narrow root. It give me such a weird shape. I want to keep it cause I'm tired of looking but it just doesn't look right.

Cups are too big and wrap underarms. Material is a little scratchy. Not enough elastic on upper cup.

I've been wanting this bra for a good while because it has good review for FOT. But I'm pretty disappointed in a few things: the band is not very supportive (after measuring, I see it only stretches to about 33 inches, but somehow it rides up a lot), the straps are way too stretchy and I can't adjust them short enough, the lace is very visible under clothes, and the worst: it's a bit small on my larger side.

Cup size too big. Quality material. Excellent support. Great upfront shape.

I bought this bra in a 32H in raspberry (I usually size up in Panache bras to a 32HH). I get some loose lace in the top of the cup as I don't fill it but it isn't enough to bother me and reduces as I wear it. The projection is great & I find it very comfortable to wear. My boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection. I plan to buy it in nude and black and will update my review with the fit in these colours.

Thank you for your interest but I'm keeping it.
This bra worked really well for me in sizes up to and including a 32GG but it just doesn't work for me in a 32H or 32HH cup there must be something subtly different in the cut in the larger cup sizes. My boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection.

Beautiful, vibrant red. This bra is awesome for full on top types, those that are close set and some inner fullness. I grew out of the 32H pretty quickly when I first got it, as I had some tissue migration. I am now closer to a 30H/HH and after trying the Marcie on again recently, it is just not a good fit - too open on top and empty space on sides, plus the band is a bit big.

The Cleo Marcie is supposed to come out in turquoise in Spring 2013.
This is a great bra for evenly full, projected boobs! It was a really good, true-to-size fit on me when I was smaller. I got a really nice, rounded shape in it - probably the best I've ever had from an unlined bra. It looks great under t-shirts.
My main beef with Cleos (apart from most of the colours and designs failing to appeal to me) is the two-hook band and (make that two) the way the wings seem to bite me under the arms. I had very sore underarms from my Cleo Ellis the first few times I wore it, but this Lily ... was much easier to break in. I didn't get much discomfort at all wearing it new.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be particularly compatible with tall-rooted boobs - I had slight cutting in when I first bought it which only got worse when I gained a cup size.
Appearance-wise I feel this is one of the less obnoxious Cleo colourways - the blue is nice, pretty similar to the blue Marcie that came out a few seasons back. The pink is more neon-y than it looks on the Cleo model, but it wasn't loud enough to turn me entirely off the bra.
The fabric on this is nice - soft to touch, but firm enough to maintain shape throughout the day.

If I gain on fraction of an ounce on my larger boob, I'd have quadraboob. Fortunately, I'm in that sweet spot right now that it doesn't gape on my smaller side and it doesn't cut in on my larger. This bra is so much cuter on than I expected.
It's a little deeper right at the wire, so I don't get the orange in a glass wrinkle at the bottom like I do in my newer model Cleos. I wish they'd go back to this!
Except for the colorway, it's surprisingly smooth under clothing.
Two hook back, which is stupid IMHO on an H cup, but I know many ladies coming to the properly-fitted bra world really appreciate a thinner band because they've come from big, ugly bands.
I swapped for this one so my only conccrn is how in the sam hill hell am I gonna find matching panties now?!

I ordered this as I am a 32H in Cleo Minnie and Erin, but I am definately not a 32H in Marcie, this bra is just too big.

Not what I consider a balconnette. Very molded shape, comes back towards the top too fast. Fits like a 30GG?

Nearly identical fit to Cleo Juna. I'd hoped it would work for me, but Cleo and I still don't really get along.
Absolutely adorable though! I love the flamingo print, and the yellow-green and pink color combo. A really fun, playful look.

A good T-shirt bra for me; very much like the Juna. Same fit, only cuter. Runs larger in the band than the unpadded Cleos so I ought to have sized down to a 30HH because it will stretch out. Wires are also quite a bit wider than the unpadded styles.
Only 2 hooks, which is stupid in this cup size - but it manages to lift and support VERY well.
Many people struggle with the lace along the top of the cups, but my boobs are round enough that I don't.
Cups also have plenty of immediate projection.
Flamingos are adorable, and the straps are cute.

I'm pretty impressed with this bra. I've been looking for a plain beige padded bra to wear as a T-shirt bra for a long time. I've had a bit of trouble with padded bras being too shallow in the bottom of the cup to accommodate my full-on-bottom breasts, but this one has enough depth to work for me. The lace along the top of the cup doesn't lie flat for me - this seems to be a common problem - but it's still pretty inconspicuous under clothing.
I you are between cup sizes I'd recommend going with your larger size. I can wear a 32GG in some styles but I needed the H cup for this one. The band seems true to size. Finally, this bra is extremely comfortable - the sort of bra where I can basically forget I'm wearing it.

This review is for the coral w/plum trim colorway and the fit is consistent with the turquoise one that I have. It's more firm than the Meg and much more firm than the Juna. It gives great support and good lift, and it's freaking adorable.
The only issue I have with this one is how wide set the straps are but at least they're cute. When it fit, it was perfect for my projected, round boobs. Now I need a 34H for postmenopausal weight gain.

This is for the turquoise colorway. It has a very firm band with 2 hooks. The cup width is narrow and the cups are nice and deep. The straps are pretty wide set, but at least they're cute. When it fit, it was perfect for my projected, round boobs. Now I need a 34H for postmenopausal weight gain.

Dearly wanted this bra to work because it is so adorable! However, it was just too big for me =/
My breasts are just kind of laying in the cups without being very lifted/supported very much. The wires on the side are much too tall for me (which I never had a problem with in 32Gs) and this overall made the fit uncomfortable.
