Interest in alteration pics/tutorials?

I have absolutely NO space in between my boobs, like none. At all. To the point where I'm pretty sure I have natural symmastia, because where my boobs connect is a lot more forward than my sternum. If that makes sense. Anyways, because of this, center gores are always too wide and never tack, and are way to tall and cut into tissue and start to hurt and/or itch really bad throughout the day. I am going to start experimenting with altering my bras with higher gores into plunge bras, starting with the Cleo Juna, because I have two of those so if I mess it up, I have a backup ;) Anyways, is there any interest in me actually photo documenting my trial and error alterations for this? Is this a common problem for people?

  • Yes!! I have the exact same problem... I always have to bring in the center gore on bras, but I wish I could figure out how to alter my awesome balconettes into plunges. I've only seen one other person do it before, but she said the wire ended up poking back out. I wish there was an easier way.

    FWIW, this girl cut the wires with a wire cutter and then used dental wax to seal it so it wouldn't poke. Although I am not sure how successful that was if it poked through. Hope you can figure it out :D

  • I have the same really close-set breasts. I tend to just put up with the gore folding over itself, but if you come up with a solution, I'd be keen to see it. Even plunge bras aren't really plungy per se in my size range.

    So be more patient than me when altering bras and take photos of what you do! Even if you don't end up with a great result, it's still a learning process.
