First of all, I have 2 questions. 1st one is for sayitifyoumeanit how come you can't wear plunge bras? I noticed a comment from you located on the bra alterations section where you said you can't wear plunge bras. I found this interesting because both you and I have center full and close set girls. And because I love plunge bras. Sorry in advance if I missed the reason on your blog. :)
2nd question: What is a U band?
2nd of all, I noticed issues with a lot of my bras. Straps being way too wide for me and center gores digging into my center breast tissue. I thought about sayitifyoumeanit's blog on center fullness being a dominant trait and what she does for this problem. I just tried on 1 of my favorite bras with pins in the center gore, to bring the cups closer together, with a band extender.
Took care of 2 problems: Gore digging into my close-set, center full boobies and made the straps more narrow. Did the same thing on another bra that is a plunge and the straps became the perfect width for me. I wanted to share this because I know that I'm not the only one who has narrow shoulders and center full close set girls, (dani ). Altering a center gore is one of the easiest alterations to do also. :D
Love this website and all the women on here, btw!

  • I know I'm not who you were asking, but I can't wear plunges because my tissue is too soft and my breasts seem to have magnets inside and they puddle together in the middle. I need a higher gore to separate them so the cup doesn't dig in where the gore meets the cup.

  • I'm a little curious about the plunge bit. I dont want plunges because my soft, somewhat center-heavy, somewhat close-set 32Js tend to climb out the middle of bras that are too low-cut. Plus, I get rash and really want them SEPARATED! It seems like in my size, plunges squish your boobs together. Cuz they cant pull them apart.
