SM Bezyk/too big bands
I'm wearing my SM Bezyk today. I had ordered 70J instead of 65JJ to avoid custom order fees, but as a small 30 the band is way too big, so I've been keeping the straps loose to avoid having the band ride up. I just caught a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror at work and was surprised and ashamed to see how sad and saggy my boobs looked. So I tightened the straps which helped a bit, but now the band is riding up like crazy. I need to stop telling myself that 32 (and some 30) bands will be okay, or at least start altering them down to fit. And while I'm at it I should start moving the straps on my bras so they don't cut into my arms and deform the cup shape. No more too big bands for me!

It's actually funny, because I'm in the process of trying to let myself order bras which are too big in the band. I feel like I've been shooting myself in the foot by only getting 28 bands, as altering the back of a bra is really easy (and I think I do it a different way each time).
I find that anything looser than exactly 28 inches is painful, and the wires drive into my front and I'd happily wear less than that down to about 26.5", but I think that my prejudice has stopped me from getting some stuff which could otherwise be a good fit.
My problem is being too lazy too ever actually alter down the too-big bands, telling myself that it's good enough. I don't have a sewing machine and I don't want to ruin the bra's appearance with bad hand-stitching, at least that's my excuse for putting it off. Also I do fit into some ready-made bra sizes, so I have less of a reason to sister-size.
