Alteration experience no1
Altering my Cleo Swimwear Hattie Twist Bandeau Bikini Top (CW0043) from a 30 band to a 28 band turned out to be really easy. I simply moved the clasp an inch on both sides, and used double-thread stitching in 2 rows to fasten it. It's a bandeau/halter top, so there are no straps to worry about. The bikini does slightly wrinkle near the clasp, but it doesn't bother at all. I'm surprised at how firm it turns out!
I'm kind of excited, because this opens possibilities bikini-wise, given that 28F bikinis aren't a frequent sight.
My Miss Mandalay Los Angeles halter bikini fits the best, but I also got a Beach Life Remy Sea Shore which may need altering if it ends up stretching out, so I'm glad it's so easy!
