So the bra was from Walmart, since I wanted to know if buying a cheapie bra in a big band would be okay to modify down about 6 band sizes down... It can be done, but it's difficult. The stretched band ended up being one band size bigger than what it was supposed to be, and immediately stitches started coming undone along the elastic. It was horrific. The unmodified band gave the cups an illusion of being 3 cup sizes too big, but when I stretched the band and pulled the bra against my body, the cup filled out perfectly.
It's really too bad that this bra is almost unwearable, the color is really pretty. Right now I'm struggling to shorten the band adequately, since the cups seem to be good enough.
EDIT: I have been able to adequately shorten the band and the fit is pretty much perfect.
