    Fits decently, but isn't perfect. The straps are too wide, which creates some issues with gaping on the sides and top of the cup.

    November 2015: Now the cups are too small and cut in almost everywhere. There is visible strain on the cup seams. Rib cage is a little over 1" larger than before, so I need to use an extender again (it's also been resting for a few months so it's probably tightened up again). I've ordered a 28FF, and I'm afraid I should have got a 30 band. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />


    Original review: When I first got this bra, I could barely stretch the band to 28", so it was painful and I had to use an extender. Over 6 months later, and it's definitely comfortable ... on the first hook, but on "less bloated" days I sometimes will have it on the second hook.
    I believe that since the cups are a tiny bit too deep for me, and the band tight, the cups are stretched wide so that the wire sits about a quarter inch beyond my breast tissue. Otherwise the wires are a bit narrower than my other two bras that fit perfectly. I fill the cups all the way, and only when I slouch is there a gap along the top.
    Overall, the bra is comfortable, but if I'm just slouching at my computer all day, my breasts and small rolls of skin under them sandwich the wires and smash them into my ribs, so when I finally "unfold" for the day and stand up, I have painful indents. This is easily remedied by me not slouching, which can be hard to remember sometimes. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
    I would definitely recommend this bra if the Maddie fits, and Parfait Charlotte fits. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    This is the pink Marcie, which I've heard runs small. The band is certainly tight, comparable to the yellow Marcie tightness, at least. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be more like a 28e or not, because it seems to measure around the same measurements for other Marcies in this size.

    The wires are really wide on me. I just remeasured my 28dd yellow Marcie and this bra is 2 cm larger than that! I guess I'm still in the 'wide and shallow' end of the Marcie spectrum. I'm not sure where that changes. The cups are also moving towards too tall. I get a little ... underarm rubbing and the lace of the cup is nearing full cup level.

    The projection is lovely, especially in the center and since I bent the gore, I can pull the bra up into my IMF, which I never could with the 28dd. There's some space above the nipple that wrinkles. I'm not sure if it's lack of full on topness, conical/puffy nippleness or what. I might not need so much apex projection.

    My only complaint about the actual bra is that it's not as high quality as my yellow. I wore that day in and day out for months, and it's still going strong. I did buy this bra used, but I see fraying edges and there's some poor stitching where the lace meets the cup.

    This is the first bra that really fit me. I love the Marcie. Great for even breasts. Gives a nice round shape. Tight band. I found that the cup ran a tad small for me (normally a 28E but E gave quad boob).

    Rounded shape. Fits well my boobs, I'd say they are average fullness, not very FoB or FoT. Slightly wide wires, but not uncomfortably so.
    Band is quite tight and hasn't stretched out much. Was ideal when I had 27.5in ribcage, now I've gained a bit more, and in the picture I'm wearing it with an extender.

    I love Marcie bras! I have three of them! They give a nice rounded lifted shape with no padding. It's amazing. As I'm in between a 28f and 28ff, this bra ran a little small. When I have good posture, the top of the cup definitely cuts in, creating a quad boob. I also have some spillage on the sides.

    It didn't jab me so badly or cup up very high in the armpits which was nice. However, I don't know if that just happened because it was a size or so too small? The strap width was acceptable as well (again, because it was a little small?). I don't know, but it is really pretty, and It maybe my boobs round which not all unlined bras do.

    The wires are too wide, but the gore's refreshingly narrow, and it seems like it almost fits... except I get this weird bulging in the lace section of the bra. I think I might look for a size up, otherwise this might be the comfiest unlined bra I have.

    Is currently brand new and tight - I currently need an extender. 30 band is too big and slips around though, so we'll see how it goes.
    It fits my even boobs great.
