I think the 36J Marcie is about as close to perfect as I'm going to get. I might try it in a 38J to see if that will help stop the wire from poking into my sides. It might also help if I pull the underwire up further in the channel on the sides (and lower in the center gore) so it doesn't end in the middle of my side boob.
The shape I get from this bra is fantastic! And it's the first bra I've owned that doesn't slip down my rib cage as soon as I put it on--it sits right where it's supposed ... to and holds my breasts where I like them to be.

Well...it doesn't quadboob *much*...it fits my smaller breast but my larger one is always SOL. And even the slight quadboobing on the larger one isn't really noticable, it's miles better than my other bras.
Aside from the pokey underwire, there's one other problem: the straps. They're too far apart so they fold in on themselves in a weird, mildly unpleasant way. However, this is a structural issue for all bras that fit me reasonably, including my other Cleo and my Ewa Michalak. I don't think there's a solution to that issue because if the straps were attached closer to the front of the bra rather than towards my armpits, it would sort of divide my not-so-firm breasts and press the outer portion of them into my armpits rather than toward the front. I believe this is an inconvenience those of us with very large breasts just have to deal with when it comes to bras that fit. Just my two cents.
The general consensus is that Marcie is good for full-on-top shapes, but I also recommend giving it a try if you're more even shaped but somewhat projected. Wish it came in a JJ.

Unless you need the bra wires to be that wide, I bet you could size down one cup size and still be comfy. I find Marcie to be quite generous in the cup in this size range.
