I did last week a massive bra alteration on the Freya Lydia, which I was looking for a good moment and couldn't find in my usual 28GG nor 30G!
Luckily, my sewing skills being advanced, I decided to try to find it in a sister size and cut it open.
I bought a 36E, and spent 3 hours work and concentration, and at the end, a perfect 28GG!
For those who are used to alterations, you don't remove the end bit (with the hooks), but shorten from the part next to the cup.
The tricky part is to remove all the stitches, but the hours spent doing it is well worth the result.
I took some pictures but don't know how to show them here.
As soon as I know, I will show you the result.
I've been wearing it since, to try it on more than a couple of minutes.
Great!

A comment regarding altered bras. If the alteration is not super drastic you can add the bra twice (as if you had two bras) to the site, with one with the data before alterations and a second entry with altered data (and indicate that the bra has been altered when entering measurements)
The first entry serves for usual purposes, the 2nd one having the altered measurements flag will not affect other averages but will be used to know what numbers are better for you (considering you've entered bra fit). It makes it easier also for you to search based on measurements.
I hope you figure out how to post the pictures. I really want to see it!
