Okay, the 34HH is definitely too small in the cups (see side pictures), but I think this bra will work for me if I can find the right size. The sizing issue is not Cleo's fault; it's just that I'm still trying to figure out my size. I've read that the Marcie actually runs a little large in the cups.

As many others have noted, the shape is nice and round, and it's a good bra for someone with even/on-top fullness. The stretchy lace is very accommodating. And yet I really like how contained I feel, which is probably a result of the strong wires, good side support, and nice shaping from the lower part of the cups. It gives me a lovely side profile, no east/west issues.

For me the straps were easy to adjust to the length I needed, and doing so greatly improved the shape/lift - possibly a sign that I could do with a smaller band?

The only thing I have to complain about is the wires. This bra most definitely pokes, and it's hard to know how much to attribute to sizing issues. I have center-heavy, fairly close set breasts, and while the gore works to keep them apart (and actually tacks, a thing which I had never experienced before!), it also hurts. The top wires of the gore dig quite badly into my sternum - so much so that I will get tiny stab wounds if I wear it all day. On the sides, the wires may be a tiny bit wide for me, but they are definitely too high. I get some underarm poking which can be quite uncomfortable.

Finally, looks: hot pink is usually not really my style, but I really like the contrasting bow and the polka dots on the mesh. I was very surprised by how pretty I felt in this bra. It's my husband's favorite at the moment! Should be even better in the right size.
