This bra is a transfer from Scharminkeltje https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It is the first single-hook-band bra I have tried. I have always been skeptical about single-hook bands, preferring 3 hook bands. I just like the extra band width and security.

But I have to admit, this bra's band isn't bad. It has pretty decent width at the wings, and is supportive. It just narrows to a single-hook width at the back. It needed an extender, and I couldn't find one, so had to figure out how to extend the band without a store-bought extender. I decided to make a single-hook extender and did so out of 1/2" wide Velcro strips. It would be "infinitely" adjustable. I then thought, if I made more than one extender, I could use them on other bras that I had trouble finding extenders for, such as my lavender Beautiful 1520 bra from Scharminkeltje. By using more than one extender on a three-hook band, I have three extenders that can be adjusted to different lengths, top to bottom.


Anyway, this bra fits me well. I have a small amount of gap in the top of the cup on my small (right) side, but it's not a deal-breaker. The wires are wide enough for me, and with good spacing at the gore. It's a KEEPER!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The cups and wings are embroidered with a flocked black floral design which I find very pretty.
