Having used this one while breast feeding, it was pretty far gone and was about 6 inches to wide around now, although the cup size wasn't too far out. Being a very simple style I thought- Why not?
The first step was to put it on and measure how much needed to be removed.
Here it is with the extra taken out and the strap cut off as well. 
Then I just straight sewed it back on. I had made sure to cut out the section so the ends would match in height when reattached.
Then I zig zagged over the join and used a smaller zig zag to reattach the strap in approximately the right place.
An easy refashion and if it works, I might also rescue some other, prettier ones that have become too big.
A good way to get more life out of bras. Especially as nursing bras can be so expensive!

I do this to bras all the time. My bra size is 30G. My solution is to buy 36DD and chop the back (The cups are the same size). I have also bought 38Ds and done the same thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great money saver. My choice was refashion or start making my own bras. I might still make my own, but right now refashioning works.
