Band Transplant & Masquerade Rhea

Has anyone owned a bra that fit perfectly in the cups, but they hated the back band? That's where I'm at with my Masquerade bras, mostly my Rhea. I have the Rhea in a 32GG and the band is way too loose. I thought it would fit because I found the 30H Delphi and 30GG Rhea to be painfully tight in the band, but they also rode up in the back. So my 32GG Rhea rides up on the tightest hook, but it's also just such a thin band and I would hate it even if it fit. Has anyone completely gotten rid of a back band and sewn in the band from another bra? I'm really tempted to sew on part of a band from a 34DD DKNY bra I have that has a stretchy laser-cut back band VS style. It might look a little silly, but would be so much more comfortable!

PS- I posted about this a while ago, but I am on a mad hunt for a Mulberry Rhea in 30H, 32GG or 32H. So if you have any to swap/sell/giveaway, hit me up! (Would also take other colors if you have them, but mostly interested in Mulberry! Might also want anise, rosetti, etc. I love Masquerade half cups!)

  • I'm interested in this too. I absolutely love my Rhea, but I couldn't go up a band size and expect the band not to ride up, but it's really tight. For me, my cups are small enough for it to feel stable on me, it's just pretty tight.

  • The Rhea band is the worst! Although my 30H Delphi gives me the worst aches in my back from the tightness. It also rides up, ugh. I love Masquerade, but their bands need to be stretchier and wider!
