HP Nina turning into something different?

Today I managed to cram myself into 80G - Ewa Michalak » Hp Nina (226) and very shocked I realized I had managed to concentrate my root without spilling over, combined with getting a perfect high and tall shape. No distorted wires. No wires on breast tissue. This branarchist was seriously shocked.

The only problem were my boobs pushing away the gore, because even if I still have a hard time to believe it they seem to be fuller in the upper inner quadrant and so want all gores to go away. However gravity has it they want to fall down and east and west.

First; lengthen the straps and take one of those plastic bag clip (I haven't gotten a proper racerback clip yet lol) and then my usual game with adding extra center pulled straps.

So I took the straps I used at my 34J - Panache » Ariza Balconnet Bra (5051)racer back alteration and fastened one in the front. Again very ugly but whatever. I didn't know where to fasten it so I just fastened the band into the other band with the yellow plastic bag clip.

You can now see one of my boobs sits lower than the other since I haven't still added the strap on that side.

After that I turned the band inside out in the front to make it come higher and stop pushing straight into my stomach. I kind of want to turn it into a partial banded bra so that I can breath and eat.

And also I want to buy powernet and get rid of the terrible band. How do I go about this? I want a much taller band in the back in a "reversed longline" style. I've seen powernet here http://shop.textalk.se/en/artgrp.php?id=35854&grp=1970215 How long will powernet last if I don't use it? I figured I could stock up of a bunch of powernet fabrics because I figured I might need to do this with all of my bras. It should be a fairly easy alteration?

  • I could totally do this! Also, racerback converters are rubbish. I keep breaking them, clearly no-one thought to test them out on the strain of 26L/28KK breasts. 10-20% of the weight of breasts this size is a lot. I think your plan with bag clips is so much better.

    Now... to get extra straps and sew on some loops. This would totally help take the strain off my sides because the straps would be supposed to be angling in, instead of just doing it anyway.

    I've wondered about reverse longlines (I affectionately call them 'highlines') myself. You'd need taller closures and to resew the line of the elastic. I think that powernet is pretty durable stuff if you're not stretching it, so there's no reason why you can't go crazy and buy a whole roll of it or something.

    Also, how on earth do our totally different boobs need the same sorts of solutions?

  • @Ereshiy Yay, I thought it could be something that might be working for you as well XD Parts of me want to get powernet in lots of different colors so I can combine them and make more colorful crazy creations XD Like red and pink.

    I think since these plastic bag clips are quite strong they might also hold a racerback for you? I was shocked it would stay put without any seems what so ever XD

    Also; highline, it's a perfect name, thanks I'll totally adopt it <3

    Now; Ripping a band into partial will that kill the bra?!
