One-hook Gossard giving me trouble
Does anyone have any suggestions or links to help fix this? For some reason a 30E only seems to warrant one hook, and obviously it is straining. I'm unfortunately not super sewing-savvy, but I can hand stitch well enough and have a friend who is great on a machine. I just don't want this poor little hook to pop off! Thanks!

Is the band fine or is it actually too tight? In that case, you could get an extender and use one of the other hooks, which are not strained. Sorry, I don't have any other suggestions for how to fix it
that style of Gossard would be super easy to alter to a double or triple hook.
just seam rip the ends that attach to the elastic bands and then sew on the size hook and eyes you want.
i suggests youtubing "how to attach hook and eye to a bra", and then you'll see how easy it should be, i would recommend only hand sewing this as many machines (at least my vintage one) can't handle that small and thick elastic.
good luck :)
