So I've been in this bra for a month and it fit really well until just this weekend. The straps are falling off and my boobs are escaping under the band etc etc. It's not just this bra that fits differently. It could be a fluctuation but I think not. My measurements points to my needing a size smaller in ... the band and a larger cup volume.
For now I have a PMS bra to wear, but it's not the best fit. I suspect my shape has changed a too and that I have more projection, but not more width than before. I'm now at +2, technically +4 in a tight band. It's the closest I'll get in this model and it's not great.
It looks like I need to start over and I'm kind of torn over how to do this. I'm concerned that I might limit my search to what I have needed up until now. My measured size has gone from 30G to 28H and correct me if I'm wrong, but that puts me in a range with a whole new set of sizing issues. It took several months to find that one good bra and I'm dreading having to go through that again.
So I would be very thankful to hear what you have done in this kind of situations. Is it better to order the same bra in a million sizes or to go for your calculated size in a million bras? Or to mix it up?

I don't have a marcie anymore, but I've had them both, and I have to agree. I found the top panel of the melissa just wouldn't sit right on me and kept bunching, the Marcie had more top room and fit better.
I own a Melissa in 32F and have tried on the candy pink Marcie in the same size. For me and my even fullness, they seemed to fit the same.
I remember noting that at the time, because I had expected the Marcie to be roomier on top.
