I'm trying to justify ordering three new bras that probably won't fit me at all. A month ago I bought a white Curvy Kate Portia Balcony Bra (CK4001) because I've been yearning for it ever since I first saw it (and it really is beautiful). The wires are far too wide but I'm thinking I can alter it somehow to make it work (maybe by taking in the centre gore to change the angle of the cups? Does anyone have any experience with this?).
This time around, it was the Cleo Darcy Padded Balconette (6821) in the new lime and pink bird print that caught my eye. Green bras are so rare and the print is so adorable that I couldn't resist. I also got the Freya Flourish Padded Longline Bra (1543) as I've been dying to try a longline bra for a while. I told myself not to get anything else, but checked the Figleaves outlet section and found a Freya Swim plunge bra in a cute print (it's brown with lollies I think? Could be leaves, balloons, I'm not sure actually! I can't seem to find it on here) for only £16.50! http://images.figleaves.com/product/870x1113/r704494-p717014-front.jpg I've thought for a long while now that I really need to get a well fitting swim top, but all the BOOM! cleavage ones or super bold colours and prints aren't for me. I don't want my eyes to hurt every time I see my braThe other bras I got were full price so my wallet is crying right now (I'm not! I love getting new bras!) And I'm really happy that I could stop at three and not add another five bras to my cart!
I'm hoping all my new friends will fit, although I'm not counting on it. Usually if it's not the wires, it's something else that's not right. But hey, it's a learning experience!

I think Bras I Hate & Love wrote about taking in the center gore on a CK bra. Not sure how successful that was though.
Good luck to you :)
