  • so by sucking up some of the top of the cup at the wire, that reduced in-cup quadding. interesting.

  • It's weird, you would think that would create more, but it's actually that the lace isn't tensioned properly.

  • Properly for some anyway. If you had very very very full on top breasts I think it would be fine.

    I have the same problem with this bra. Thanks for sharing. Now I wish I'd kept the one I got on sale for cheap so I could experiment on it 😁

    Thank you so much for doing this. Did you hand sew it or use a sewing machine?

    I hand sewed it all.

    Wow, your alterations made a huge difference in the fit. Looks great! Thanks for posting.

  • Sorry, one more question. If I'm not replacing wires, where would I stitch the stretch lace to? I'm not really sure I can pull it enough to stitch it to the gore, but maybe I could fold the lace over and stitch it to itself.

  • triumphof i think that would work. Or maybe you could sew the lace to the cup at the top of the cup by the strap. I would experiment.

  • So basically, cupandahalf , you converted a regular Curvy Kate Ellace Balcony Bra (CK4401) into a plunge. Cool. I spent 30 minutes looking at the measurements tables for CK Ellace and Panache Ariza.

  • But how did you obtain a 30:12 Panache Ariza Balconnet Bra (5051) to cannibalize? I thought that style was discontinued. :(

Fit information

On Apr 2018 View measurements

Gore gapes because it is too tall and my close set breasts push it out. When I replace the wires with shorter ones this will no longer be a problem.

Center gore placement:
Doesn't lie flat against sternum
Top of the cup:
Cuts into breast tissue (quad boob effect)
