I wish this bra had fit me, but even being the one Cleo that was consistently recommended for having narrow wires and lots of immediate projection (and it does!!) for some reason, the model just didn't work for me, which is sad since I loved the "Marcie Basketballs" shape (I can't remember whose review I read that on, but I thought it was hilarious and have since modified my mental name for that round shape to "basketboobs"). Unfortunately, the wires were too long which allowed the cups to be too wide... more about all this could be seen on my fit request with this bra, but since I myself am not quite sure exactly why it didn't fit, I'm not going to go into it more here.

What I can say with certainty: The 30HH Tangerine Marcie I tried was a lovely, bright orange-y peach shade that I thought was playful but still demure enough to work under many or most colored tops. It had a reasonably stable band despite having only two hooks, though the band seemed pretty stretchy to me - I'm not sure how those factors would combine and effect the lifespan of the bra in this size. The mesh was definitely transparent, even my very light pink ghost girl nipples were clearly visible through it, actually they were way more visible in this bra than they are normally. The mesh fabric of the main body of the bra was also prone to making my softish tissue wrinkle or "fold" in weird ways within the cup (probably becasue it didn't fit well) which were pretty visible and unattractive, which could be a unique thing about the tangerine shade, I don't know. The fabric also had enough stretch to it that when the strap pulled on the outside panel of the three-part cup that it was attached to, it created this visible line of tension across the cup that could be seen because it reflected light differently and made a vague depression along that line in the breast too. The center vertical seam in the tangerine marcie I tried was also very visible under the thin sweater I tried it with. I tried 3 comexim bras at the same time (65M - Comexim » Sonia Half Cup (406) 65M - Comexim » Ingrid Plunge Bra (289) 65N - Comexim » Burgundy Half Cup (357)) and tried all 4 bras with the same pink sweater. I'm not sure if it's possible to tell in the pictures, but in person the seams in the marcie showed through the most. This surprised me for some reason, so I thought I'd mention it, I guess I think of a bulkier padded bra as having bulkier seams but in this instance that didn't happen. Still, the shape was so nice that, had it fit me even slightly better, I would have kept it anyway and worn a tanktop or camisole with it if I cared about the seams showing - they weren't a deal breaker for me at all.
