What do you guys think of reshaping the wires to change your bra's fit? I'm finding that I actually need *much* narrower cups than I've had, and I've debated trying to alter the wires to give a narrower cup and more projection -- but how does this work? Is this actually bad for the bra? I could use some advice.Thanks!

I bent the heck out of my Parfait Charlotte wires. It actually fits pretty well now! I think it's about a 1/4 inch smaller now, and I gained about a quarter inch in the cup depth. It had been too shallow (evidently), and the cups were a bit too wide. I actually really like the way it fits now.
I took the sides and top of the cup and pushed them together. Depending on the wire strength, it may take more (or less - that's always me!) pressure than you think!
Do it in stages, and then measure.
Depending on how well the bra fits right now, that may give you what you want. I'd say try it on a bra you don't really wear first - see if you like it, and if it does what you think it will.
