Smaller side cup alteration to fix gaping on Cleos

I just performed my first bra alterations! I am asymmetrical by half an inch, and have been having some gaping issues in my Cleos on the smaller side, but I can't go down a cup because a) my larger side needs the depth, and b) I need the current wire width.

So I took out a needle and thread, grabbed my Lucy and Lily, slightly pinched some upper-cup fabric near the gore, and put in a few stitches in a matching color. If I can figure out how to insert pics, I'll show ya! The result is a very subtle wrinkle/crease at the gore, and no upper-cup gaping! This would also work to adjust bras symmetrically that are too FOT for your shape or slightly too big.

I am incredibly psyched!
