I wear a 32D so I'm thinking that since it's such a small bra that that is why I'm not getting any smashing in the front and also no gaping.Laurizlehttp://laurenhage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-54625492057928706622013-12-16T22:05:57.350-08:002013-12-16T22:05:57.350-08:00Thanks a lot for sharing this great review.

Mine took a couple of weeks of wearing and washing to soften up ( same for Lucy ). I buy my bras from A Cup Above which is in Perth, but they do online sales too www.acupabove.com.au. I love the Marcie, it has become my absolute fave and can't wait for more colours. Lucy is my second fave.

Most sites seem to say this is a symptom of too small a cup, but I'm fairly sure that's not the case, as I'm allllllmost too small for it. Any ideas?

I couldn't seem to fill out the bottom of the cup completely and the very tippity top of the cup would gape when I moved my arms/shoulders certain ways. In the middle, I felt like I was really pressing hard against the cup and was being flattened. The straps and underwires also felt way too wide set for me, so I couldn't keep it. I was a bit sad because I love the red, and the design is cute. However, the style looks much better on you!Sophisticated Pairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548874262631290892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-83801668740886470822012-10-11T21:39:12.084-07:002012-10-11T21:39:12.084-07:00Please let your readers know about www.facebook.co...Please let your readers know about www.facebook.com/BeaDearandDonateaBrassiere.

I love this bra, and I love the shape of it, but fuller cup bras often tend to cut into my (very soft) breast tissue, regardless of the size I get. So I've found stretchy lace works better for me (e.g. bras like Panache Jasmine, or Panache Andorra).<br /><br />Just also want to say keep up the good work on this blog!

I suspect it comes from wearing a cup that's a bit (or a lot, in the case of the Juna) too shallow for my shape, and therefore flattens.

I found that the Masquerade Rhea you raved about gave you a bit more of a squashed, up-against-the-window shape than the Marcie, though I see your point with the latter and acknowledge that the padded v. unpadded style has something to do with it. Great review, and thanks! I own the Marcie and it doesn't give me that effect, but I was also able to get it in my normal size (32H) instead of having to go the sister size route.Laura (DT)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01769096842013223783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-11619182554368050822012-10-09T04:40:50.295-07:002012-10-09T04:40:50.295-07:00I have pretty full-on-bottom boobs and this fit pr...I have pretty full-on-bottom boobs and this fit pretty awesome on me.

(I have reordered it in 34J after trying it in 32J, as it was a smudge too small in the cup). So I think this bra could work very well for a variety of breast shapes. I don't get the same shape as you in it, obviously, but still very rounded and uplifted. I think the Lucy bra is more shallow, where this one allows more forward projection. Or maybe that is just because of the full band, as you say, prevents the cups from being stretched flat.XLhourglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029432165621398859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-32347057514551375802012-10-08T19:38:47.608-07:002012-10-08T19:38:47.608-07:00I get that pressed-against-a-glass-door flattened ...I get that pressed-against-a-glass-door flattened look in my Fantasie 4520, too!

I was iffy about what size to get so that has helped me immensely. I had to take in the centre gore of my Lucy too so it's good to hear with Marcie I wouldn't have to touch it. The only problem I've had with Lucy (aside from the wide centre gore) is the tops of the cups being ever so slightly restrictive and I've been wondering if going up to an H would better. As you've shown the cups on Marcie are quite big up top, I'm guessing the 28GG would still be good for me. It is still a beauty so I guess I shall only know for myself by trying it out.

In the photo with the slight flattening (which is the effect I get from all CK showgirl bras too but more extreme)it also looks like it cuts in very slightly on top, but not enough to make it show clothed. <br /><br />Some day I'll have to try more cleo bras. The one I tried was ridiculous on me -- I need a full band for my high-set boobs and a narrower center gore than the one I tried has. The cups fit and were nice and round but the overall shape it gave me (and the fact that it lifted away from my ribs on the outside when I raised my arms) made it a bad fit on me.
