It's a pretty 3-part bra with embroidered polka dots, lace, and a comfortable mesh fabric. It got it in the orange colorway.

I used to own one of these back when I was a 38GG. For the most part I liked it, but the Cleo Blake fit me better. Though I will say that the Marcie conformed to my shape after I'd worn it a month or so. The fabric needed to be broken in to adjust to my shape. Unfortunately, this time, I bought a 38HH and should've gone with a 38H. I'm in between sizes right now. Construction-wise, it's a good bra, though I wish they offered the Marcie and Blake with a 3-hook closure (I think maybe there's a similar Sculptresse out there with 3 hooks, but I don't remember the name of the line).

I found when I used to wear my Marcie that the gore was a little high for me, but Cleo/Panache gives me the best tack of any US/UK brand I've tried. Most bras won't tack on me because I have close-set breasts (it's a running theme in all my reviews). Cleo always wins as far as a precise tack, though sometimes I wish the gore was a 1/4" shorter.

Since I got the wrong size, I found it chafed a little around the underwire area. And of course, there was a lot of gaping up top. It's a little big for me in the band as well, but the band mostly stayed in place. I took a chance in wearing this bra as I was down to only a couple useable bras, even though I knew the cup was gaping and too big when I got it a week ago. It was an eBay deal, so I got this because I was trying to narrow down my current size.

I'd definitely recommend the Marcie for someone who wants forward projection and narrower wires or for someone with large, close-set breasts who needs a bra that tacks properly. Or, for those of you who love polka dots and sexy, lacy bras!
