I like this bra! I'd been dreaming of having a nude Marcie since I saw a photo of one on the "what bra sizes look like" Wordpress, and I was super excited to receive one. It's way small on me -- even my smaller breast gets quadboob when I scoop & swoop or when I lean over, so I'm waiting on a 28FF (bought this one used so can't return it) -- but I like the bra as a whole.
The band was too tight to fasten in front (terrible habit, I know!! I just find it so difficult to fasten bras in the back) when I first received it, but after a couple wears it definitely stretched out so that now I could probably stand to wear it on the second tightest hook. It's not wearable under a white shirt because of the polka dots, but hey, that's what my white Corin bra is for!
I find that it gives me a lifted appearance for sure. I like to test out lift by putting on this one tank top I have that makes me look SOOO saggy without a bra, and the Marcie definitely improved that a lot. It kind of has a minimizing effect on me which I dislike, but hopefully the 28FF will solve that by not squishing my breasts into a too-small cup. I think the band might stretch over time more than I'd prefer, but we'll see what happens. It's comfortable to wear and I don't notice its presence during the day. Basically, I like the appearance of the bra itself, but I'm not a huge fan of the shape it gives me.
Assuming Cleo/Marcie is true to size, this tells me that I am almost definitely not a 28F, no matter how much I doubt that I could possibly fill out a FF cup. I'm full on bottom but I have no issues filling out the top of the cup (again, might be different in the FF, which I'll indicate in my review of that one).

• Yeah it’s not great under white (that’s what red is for), but you can tell it is too small as the gore doesn’t appear to be tacking. Sorry it’s not a good fit. Nude Marcie is a strange fit as it seems to run bigger in some areas than others, but Marcie is highly variable depending on the colour you get. My 30F black and navy don’t fit the same...black is 1/2” taller all over which makes it not fit quite as well.
