There are definitely ways this could be countered, for instance, adding in a layer of backing or thin cloth. With the Flirtelle Lucy, I didn't worry as much about it because the mesh in the top panel is thick and has very small holes, as opposed to a bra like the Freya Arabella where the mesh is thin and has holes that might be bigger than a stitch you'd want to put in. I think sewing on a machine helps to counter any issues with a thin mesh, but other than that, using a thin backing might help a lot (and then you can trim off the part that is not in the stitch when you've finished).

Did you do anything differently for this alteration because of the lace upper panel? If not, what made you decide it was okay for this bra? I'm really hoping to do this for a Freya Luisa and Freya PollyannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-54656739171294167662012-11-30T02:28:09.165-08:002012-11-30T02:28:09.165-08:00See the most Sexy Bra Girls http://www.youtube.com...See the most Sexy Bra Girls <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2cd1aUX5qw" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2cd1aUX5qw</a> <br />jyoti85https://www.blogger.com/profile/16918703390992132843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-17891232336272146892012-11-04T03:09:06.611-08:002012-11-04T03:09:06.611-08:00Another option for a grey bra is the new Ewa Miche...Another option for a grey bra is the new Ewa Michelak one. PL Stalówka. I've never ordered from them but their bras are gorgeous and they have just come out with this gorgeous grey one!

Although I don't have too many that need to be altered in that way the one I have that needs the gore taken in has other problems besides (I hate most bandless bras.)<br /><br />I agree that the Belle is pretty hideous.

Thanks for this post!<br /><br />I did the same alteration by hand after reading your earlier tutorial about making a bra less pointy. It worked, but the two sides aren't quite altered the same amount, which bothers me a little. If I do the same alteration again on another bra, I'll have a professional with a sewing machine do it for me. I don't have a sewing machine or any sewing machine skills. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
