Marcie in 30D was my best fitting and most-worn bra when I was a 28DD/30D, so I have also sized up and collected 28E for my current size. However, 28E used to be a little big on me, and recently I've noticed that it's very snug. I decided to try one more size up to 28F since I do wear 28F in some styles. Unfortunately, while 28E is just a little big small now, 28F is definitely too big.

Interestingly, the band on this bra is a little bigger than my Black Marcie in 28E, but this one feels tighter. Both are the older style, without the printed underwire, which is the version that fits me best. The band on this is very tight but definitely fastens OK. I usually have some trouble with Marcie's underwires crossing or digging in at the gore until I get the bra adjusted, but in this size, the wires are definitely too high and press into my sternum. The tight band is surely making the issue worse.

The rest of the underwire is OK, and I didn't find that it was too wide or too tall under the arms. The cups are now definitely too deep and too tall for me, as the whole upper part of the cup ends up empty. Ideally, I would have the same cup height as the 28E, but just a little deeper and more projected.

I also noticed on this particular bra that the straps are a little different from expected and are narrower. Once again, this is probably because the bra is an older version, but they are narrower on this bra than on every other Marcie I have tried.

I guess for now, I should stick with the Marcie in 28E and maybe try it with an extender, since loosening the band will also make the cups feel a little roomier. The 28E is still a great fit, it's just super snug on me at the moment.
