Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) » 30GG 30:10
Issue resolved
Sent back, will try in 32G
Original problem
Wrinkling on bottom of cups; possibly (??) too narrow wires; and the wires seem too short under my arm. They don't go to the end of the wire channel and end up digging in.

helpfulThe wire may be narrow when "at rest" but on your body it appears to be pulled so far back it is almost ON your back! So, something is not working well here. I see you recently tried a 32G Marcie, did it ride up or stay put, aside from other fit considerations? You may prefer a 32 in Cleo.
This looks good visually (underboob wrinkling is really not a huge deal) but the discomfort you feel indicates that the firm wires and/or band tension on a 30 are not going to make this bra work in the long run, unless you are willing to try an extender and see if that helps. But if 32 is too big an extender may just make things worse; in that case maybe this is just not a good cup design and/or type of wire for you.

Well your measurements are a hair above mine and I can wear a 32 without ride-up in many many brands, most in fact. and could do so even when I was much bigger-boobed. So depending on breast weight and ribcage shape you could also find that many brands will fit you better in 32 rather than 30 just because of the way the cups behave in the tighter band, even if it's not uncomfortable.
WHen you say the wires are short on the 32G do you mean that they are poking or causing discomfort because they end at a bad place, or that the entire wing of the bra is too low and fails to contain tissue that you would prefer to be supported? You can target this issue in a search by measurements usually, but you need to determine if you're looking for a longer wire, a narrower wire, a taller wing, or some combo of the above.

helpfulOf you are FOB Marcie is probably not the right bra for you. Just try Cleo Meg instead.
Concerning the diggin in under the armpit I have the same problem too, because of separate boobs and quite full breast tissue right there.
You could try a bra that reaches up higher there but concerning your Marcie I just see a misfit.Updated on August 25, 2016 Flag this

My best fitting bra is the Cleo Marcie in 32G. I don't think it's the specific style.

My 32G Marcie is currently my best fit. The only issue with it is that the wires are a tad too short. It didn't ride up at all. I wear a 30 band in Cleo Lily, though, so I'm not sure if it's the band.
I might try this in a 32G. Maybe this is just one of those bras I need to sister-size in.
