where are you, Fantasie Francesca vertical seam noir?
I've been waiting for this bra to show up on ebay for aaaaaages, and it... never did beyond a few listings with retail pricing.
I see the strawberry colorway, and I see the noir balcony, but the vertical seam is only available in a longline. Whyyyyy?
To be fair, the longline is lined and the regular vertical seam is not, so the longline would almost certainly fit better, but it's a longline! I'm flexible and dexterous and I still have issues with two bra hooks some mornings. There's no way I'm going to be able to do up a longline in the morning when I'm rushing to work.
...how hard would it be to convert a longline into a regular bra? Easy peasy? Because dagnabit, I want that bra!

In theory, it's a simple sew. In all practicalities though, it may be more difficult.
Removing the bottom elastic would be simple enough, and removing the 5+ hookset may be easy, depending on your skill and patience level. Where it gets tricky is getting a new 2 hookset to attach that will match the color of the bra properly, then shortening the longline to the proper height so the new hookset can be slid over the new band to create a smooth edge. Too wide/thick and it bunches, while too narrow it will poke and itch.
Im like 99% sure I saw it on some aussie online stores.
