Amazingly, how do I make my bra cup closer together? Put on your bra, and pin an end of the magic strap at the top of your bra. Take the other end, and pull it up at an angle. Try pulling it up to meet the shoulder strap on the same side or the other side. You’ll feel the strap helps close the gap between the bra cup and your chest.
Also the question is, why are my bra cups too far apart? If your bra gaps at the top of the cup, try tightening your bra straps. If that doesn’t work, go down a cup size — your cup may be a little too big. If you don’t think you’re an entire cup size smaller, consider one of our half-cup sizes (our Fitting Room quiz can help you identify if half-sizes may be right for you).
Subsequently, how do you make bra cups smaller? To make the cup smaller, cut mirror imaged narrow pie pieces from either side of that line, so that if the new edges are “closed” or brought back together, the cup is now a smaller size. If you want to make the cup bigger, cut the line and then put the bra on.
Additionally, how do you sew a breast cup? The good news is that many bra styles and cup shapes work well with round breasts. But many women have bra spillage when they use padded bras. Instead, try on a wireless bra, which offers lighter support, or a balconette.
Why do I have to keep pulling my bra down?
The cups are too small Now think of your bra cup. It is meant to contain your breast. If your breast is spilling out over the top or the sides, it’s going to be pulling forward and down on the straps.
How should a bra cup fit?
The cup should enclose the whole breast. The breasts should not spill out of the bra at the sides or in the middle. Double breasts must not form between the cups, nor should the breasts be pushed out towards the armpit. If they are, you have chosen a bra with a cup size that is too small: try a bigger size.
Can you go up a cup size and down a band size?
Proper cup fit is influenced by band size. As the band size changes, so does the cup size. For every band size you go down, you should go up one cup.
How do I know if my cup size is too big?
There’s a gap at the top of the cups. This one is fairly simple to recognize. When you look down at your bra do you notice space between your breasts and the cup? If so, it’s too big. If you aren’t able to see any gaps while standing up, try leaning over while looking into a mirror.

How do you cut and sew a breast cup blouse?
Why are my breasts bell shape?
Bell-shaped bust Women with bell-shaped breasts have very little soft tissue at the top of the chest, but a lot of volume at the bottom. This bust type usually needs a bigger cup and the weight of the breasts means that you should look for a bra that offers firm support and a great hold.
Why is my bra riding up in the front?
Measure your band size. The most common reason for ride-up is that the band is too big. You can avoid ride-up by getting a bra with a snug band. Have a professional measure your band size, or do it yourself by wrapping a measuring tape firmly around your rib cage directly below your breasts.
Why is my bra riding up in the back?
When the band rides up the back, it’s an indicator the band is too big. Without providing proper support, a band that’s too large can prompt the breast tissue to weigh down on the cups and pull the band upwards in the back.
Why does my bra lift up when I raise my arms?
If the bra moves up when you raise your arm, the band is too loose and you need to readjust the band. Side cups: look at your side view in the mirror. Is there any fat bulge hang under the armpit? If yes, you need to increase cup size or change bra style that has side support and full coverage.
