What would happen if I removed the wires from this bra? I tried bending them out but they still poke and rub and are terrible. Would it just make everything terrible or would it possibly help?

Wacoal 32G with band extender. Blaaaaagh.

  • What Wacoal are you talking about? It will basically just fit a little differently. The wires can't hurt you if they aren't there, but not everyone likes the fit of a nonwired bra. If there is no wide underbust band there can be a distinct lack of uplift.

  • The cup shape probably will be totally different if you remove the wires.
    However, you can always try and put the wires back if it doesn´t work. If you have a seam ripper and a sewing machine / if you hand sew very well, there is a change that it won´t even be noticeable.
