Bra-lterations

Hah! Good one, right?

Speaking of bras, I don’t give up on a bad fitting bra easily. When I bought a few “final sale” bras from the GAP recently, I wouldn’t accept their non-fitting status. Bras are too expensive to not have a perfect fit. Also, they were in these super fun floral prints I have always wanted to own in a bra but could never justify. I couldn’t give them up.

So, I took a nude colored bra that fit me perfectly (also GAP Body) and measured the distance between cups. I saw that the new bras I had just gotten were missing some space between cups. So, I got out some gold grosgrain ribbon and went to work. The stitching isn’t beautiful (it was pretty difficult to sew on a bra) but the outcome was perfect! I wear these newly altered bras all the time now and they fit me just right.
