My first bra alteration!

I'm proud to say that with my very limited, and sketchy hand-sewing skills, I successfully altered my Alegro Innocent Lily in a 40FF. There was a lot of extra, stretchy fabric at the top of the cups that I just could not fill. I was able to take a bit of that extra fabric in, and now the cups fit perfectly. No gaping whatsoever. I'm really happy about this, even though it's just something small like altering a bra.

  • How did you bring it in? I might have to do a similar alteration with a bra or two due to my shape...

  • Honestly, while wearing the bra I just folded in under the fabric and brought it towards the strap. I pinned it, and stitched it. As you can see in the picture, this caused the seam to be more angular, than a curve.
