helpfulI think you're gonna have a LOT of cleavage if you do that.Not sure if you'll be falling out too much for comfort's sake or not.

helpfulComparing your measurements and the bra's, it is unlikely that the alteration will make any good changes, the cups will still be too small (the wires are not wide enough, so is the depth).
Although the band will be better, you will still have the quad-boob effect.It seems like the straps are also shortened too much, they seem to dig in your shoulders (you probably tried to compensate).
You should try to go down 2 band sizes, and at least go up 3 cup sizes (yes, it will be around 34JJ in UK size).The streched band you measured is definitely not for you, once the bra will unstrech with use and time, it will be unsupportive and completely useless (apart from being so cute).

helpfulWow, that is one stretchy band!
No, I don't think this would be worth altering. Do I see a nursing clip up there? I like Anita nursing bras a lot. I believe Cake also has a lot of very popular, well made models in full cup sizes.

helpfulCan you knot the bra band in the back instead of hooking it?
Or, if that doesn't work, stuff something underneath the band at your back, preferably a sweatshirt or sth similar.
This will give you an idea how the band will fit altered.Updated on May 13, 2014 Flag this

helpfulAn 85H in EU is a 38G in UK, according to the bra size converter I found. The band is too large, and the cups are too small. I'd try a 34-36" band, and an HH-I cup (I'm using UK sizing).

Oh, I never said this before, but the cups don't come any bigger. It's this or nothing.

OMG you're kidding me! That's just awful. All bras should come in a full range of sizes!
I am so sorry. If the band is altered, do you think you can live with spilling out of the cups? I mean, that's pretty much your only option now, which sucks. It's such a pretty bra though ... I would probably deal with the spillage lol.

This bra is not in uk sizes, so this is approximately a 38FF, so going down 2 band sizes and up 3 cups would make you a 34H UK
