I'm curious to know how many folks here alter their bras (either themselves, or by taking them to a seamstress)? From strap shortening/lengthening, to cup darts, to band shortening, and more... I'm interested to hear what you've tried. Anyone here ever try sewing a bra from scratch?

I have some sweet-ass bras for sale at the moment at bargain prices. Most are brand new, just never got worn before my size changed or the return shipping would have lost me more money than the refund would have been. Check 'em out, and if you're interested, post here, or send me an email at boobiusmaximus (at ) gmail (dot) com.
