Easy alterations
Has anyone had any experience in using these methods to shorten the band and take in the sides of the cups?

I'm not that great at sewing, but I impulse bought a sewing machine a few years ago (things- my one true weakness) and I figure I should make some use of it, especially as I can't bear to let go of some of the bras I have, even though it'll take several alterations to get them to fit... Are they as easy/reversible as they look? I don't want to immediately go for something that can't be undone, as it'll feel like a waste of money when I inevitably mess up, which I will.
For the first one, do you think there's a better way to do it that isn't as noticeable? At the moment, this is the best one I can find on google, but prehaps someone else's google-fu surpasses mine

I've taken in the bra at the gore but not the bottom of the cup. I found it pretty easy and quite reversible. Same with the band. I hand sew first, but I might machine sew the band for extra strength if I didn't care how it looked.
That's a good thought! I didn't think of sewing it twice like that, that'd probably be better for me as hand sewing would probably be easier to undo if I mess up, then when that's done successfully I can secure it better with the sewing machine :) Thanks for the advice. I thought this might be a good thing to do to after swapping any wires to counteract any change in shape, because if it gaps noticably at the sides of the cup now, I figure it'll probably be worse once I swap out the wires and make it narrower :D
