Why do some bras have wires that don't fill wire channels? A pet peeve of mine! A few other fit issues as well. More on the blog!

I purchased this bra from Brastop at a very reasonable price while on sale mainl

  Thank you so much for this review. I never made the connection with empty wire channel, but I had those same side flaps. I almost never see this fit issue on others and thought it was just me and my freakish boobs. I had to send Ellace back due to the side gaping. Ugh.

• letstalkaboutbras A comment on my blog from someone who sews bras said there should be room for wire not to poke through but this is bad...I do not see it in my other bra brands 😔

  I appreciate the extra space....I can move the wire away from the gore. :-) It is so interesting the variety of characteristics we all need. :-)

  That's me too Love4Pollinators. I also took in the top of the cup by the wire. I think the extra room is to help folks with band tension on a more v shaped torso, something I definitely don't have.

  If you take a tuck in the band in a wedge v dart shape at the seam where the band meets the cradle it will get rid of the extra loose fabric near the armpit in the cup . It properly tensions the band and allows the wire to spring .

• Ivp Is that sewing terms? I don't sew so I would not be able to alter anything :(

  I just put a dart in today after reading this and it does really help. A seamstress could do it quite easily in about 10 mins.
