Thank you so much for this ! I’m VERY new to sewing, and doing exactly this is one of my big goals. I usually don’t wear bras because no bras in my cup AND band size exist. I will absolutely try this on some of my favorite tops so I can finally wear them without using annoying, precarious nipple covers. Much love! xoxo

Hi Lucy!
For larger busts you may need a dress/top that has the option of tying the back as tight as you need it like the outfits shown above, having that option helps a lot when you need support and not all clothing works on larger busts for sure!

I know it’s been about three years since you created this but I’m hoping you can help. I’ve been reviewing your really helpful tutorial. I am having a challenge as I’m trying to use the method under more support and I have someone who is about a 34C and when I put in the bra it’s it’s not giving her much support.

I cut off the straps of the lightly padded bra, left about 1.5 of the sidesvand connected the middle with a small strap as it fastened in the middle and that fastener was cut off.

It is not holding her up well. I’m wondering if something different needs to be done as this is a lighter-medium weight stretch knit I am trying to attach it to. I saw your dress was probably a medium weight cotton. I would appreciate any input /advice

Lucy

I’m really interested in this idea. I just wanted to see if you had advice for me as I have multiple tank tops (bought online) that are amazing but the bust just doesn’t fit me. Is there a way to keep the same tops and just make the cups bigger, or shall I just recycle the material and start from scratch?

Any advice would be great!!!
Thanks 🙂

OMG I completely agree! especially now, in the UK it seems to be the fashion for women to wear no bra but even though I’m young and don’t need to wear one for that extra lift i don’t want my girls on show…poking through!!! I actually would be mortified if people saw my nipples! Something i’m just not comfortable with.

I will def need to modify my sewing skills but this page has been so helpful and given me hope!

I am planning for a tropical vacation and just went through dozens of my old bras, trying to find what works with each sundress and strappy top I’m bringing… It was exhausting. I found my stash of bikini top pads, and thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice to just add something to each article I’m packing? ” Who wants to deal with complicated bra planning on vacation, anyway?! Looking forward to customizing my clothing with both cups and old underwire bras so I can throw ’em on and enjoy my time in the sun!

Can you give me some advice?
