How does one go about making underwires narrower?

I have the Cleo Neve Strapless in 30D, and it is as close as I'll ever get to having a strapless bra that actually fits. It is shallow enough, cups are spaced far enough, and the tops of the cups are open enough for me. However, there is one thing about it that is not-so-perfect: the wires are slightly too wide. How can I get the wires to be slightly narrower? The cup width on this bra is 6" and I'd like it to be more like 5.625" or so.

  • You can bend some wires to make them more narrow, but that makes the cups a little more projected. You can also do the opposite to some wires and make the cups more shallow and wide. Somebody wrote a blog about it. MEB

  • Bend them, or replace them with new ones the correct width.
