✄Renovating old bras:
to contain the breast tissue which threatens to overflow. Experiment in front of a mirror, pin-fitting the pieces of lace: the bottom part will attach to the bra cup, and the top part (the finished edge) of the lace will look as if it's just a pretty, decorative addition. Stretch lace or non-stretch lace can be used. It\'s easiest to match black lace to a black bra, and white lace to a white bra, but there\'s no reason why contrasting lace can\'t be used. Often a bra whose cups are too small have bands that have stretched out - the band can be snugged up by taking either a full-length tuck (the same amount in each side)or a dart (again, the same amount in each side) in the BACK of the band. If you\'re ready to chuck a bra because the straps keep falling down, unpick the straps in the BACK of the bra, and move the straps closer to the back opening, so the straps in the back look like this: \\__/ instead of like this: 1__1.
Bra cups that are too large can also have tucks taken in them: slashing and lapping the dart area will make the cup lie flat.
