Turning Goddess Alice fullcup into punk version of halfcup. Do or not do?

The best fitting bra I've tried until now considering wires, depth, wings and cup construction are the Goddess Alice 34HH. It's too big on top though. It doesn't mess up with stability but it's visual under clothing as it wrinkles like mad and the fabric is so thick.

But turned inside out it has satin cups, with the same type of vertical seams you see on the CK Tease me.

It's a fullcup that's constructed like a balcony with the side support panel bottom section coming up to meet the straps. The strap section could be cut off to make the bra lower cut.

Then the upper section would need to be cut down. Like in that alteration brasIhate used to make a high cut bra lower cut, but this time not only the lace will go but almost all the upper section. That will make the ex nude fullcup bra an unpadded open top halfcup or demi bra with matte golden satin cups. The fit of the cups will then probably be something in between Effuniak HM and HP bras.

The band will then be needed to be cut off and turned on the right side so the eyes and hooks is usable. Also the center gore will be taken in boobius maximus style. The question is weather or not the wire channel will remain visible or of I will need to decorate it in some kind of way.

I don't want to make a perfect looking bra like the brasIhate alterations. I want it to look home made and punkish in style with visible seams and cuts. I am no seamstress in any kind of way.

First I wasn't sure if this was even doable and was afraid I would mess up the construction of the bra completely. But now I think it might actually work out. However I do admit the idea all together is very weird and crazy. Turning a bra inside out and reconstruct it all together are probably not the first bra alteration to consider and I'm not even a huge fan of satin. But it just looked kind of cool inside and out.

So how out of line am I? It's late in the night and I could have foreseen one or more very important details that will ruin the whole project.

Before we get into the real meat of the endeavor here (finding you a bra that fits and makes you look and feel fabulous, no compromises!) first we have to take a few baby steps. There is so much misinformation ...
