Boobs and birth control... and alterations
A couple of days ago, I made a post about my new ventures into birth control territory, and losing weight in my boobs because of it. I've gone from a mostly-30G-bordering-on-GG to a 50/50 30FF-G. I took some time to try on every bra in my brardrobe to see which fit with my new boobs and which did not. Some were the same (thank whatever deity for that - I'm not quite ready to replace my *entire* collection), but some are too big to the point that they're unwearable. I'll be selling, swapping or giving away a bunch of these, but some I have dyed or altered and can't really pass on. One is my beloved Deco Hatty. I poked around with it for a while, and got to thinking... Maybe I can cut off a part of the cup to make it fit? Like it fits well enough in the bottom, it's just the cup that's too tall. If I make sure to do it neatly and sew the outer fabric back, just maybe I can make it work.
Would it be a bad idea? Would I be ruining a perfectly good bra (for someone else)? Has anyone of you cut up a bra like this, or something similar, and have some suggestions on how to do it? I love my bras and I don't want to spend forever and a fortune trying to find them in a smaller size again.

I honestly don't know whether it would work or not, but sounds like you have nothing to lose!
Please take photos or video so you can teach others if it works. I cannot wear Freya, but a lot of cups are too tall for me so I would be interested.
You might want to hang on typ a few of them if you just started the BCP. Your body might react differently in a month or two and they might grow a bit more.
