Love the tips on alterations - I do a great job shopping the higher end websites and getting bras I love in my size for good prices (36G) but sometimes they just aren't quite right.

(I wanted a sexy boudoir bra to surprise my husband.) I was hoping that, since Lyla is Arabella's "sister bra", the construction would be the same. Unfortunately, it appears that there isn't an extra lining layer on the Lyla. It's difficult to discern but the lower cup material is either a thicker mesh or two layers that are bonded together. In any event, it's pretty ugly and gives me a terrible shape under clothing. So I guess I'll be selling this one off. Anybody want a new 34J Lyla??? *sigh* Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-53450579438177468132012-10-19T05:46:52.387-07:002012-10-19T05:46:52.387-07:00Comenting a bit late, as I'm going through you...Comenting a bit late, as I'm going through your alterations posts. Just wanted to state that I've done this on an Eliza in a 34K with no problem in terms of support. However the Eliza is more supportive than the Confetti in the first place, as it fits more like a full cup than a balconette.astridhttp://lesgrosbonnets.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-14404817011703127812012-08-08T01:59:17.924-07:002012-08-08T01:59:17.924-07:00Hah, I just treated my Arabella to a cutting and, ...Hah, I just treated my Arabella to a cutting and, man, it's the best alteration I've ever done to a bra. For some reason, it seems a wee bit larger on me, only a little, but enough to solve my former problem of too-small cups. Perhaps I've stretched the mesh or something.<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-62970008126662386042012-07-04T02:16:43.785-07:002012-07-04T02:16:43.785-07:00Thank you so much for responding!

I have just done this on a Masquerade Anise. I...Hi! I have just done this on a Masquerade Anise. I bought the bra on ebay for hols and evening wear, but the padded cup linings look ugly on my FF boobs and stood away from the top of my boob on my slightly smaller side and there was a very obvious visible "top of the cup ridge" under many clothes.<br /> I am pretty pleased with the results. I was worried the cup would be too big, but perversely, it seems to be a snugger fit now. (If the cup were too big, once the pad is removed, it would be easy to make a little tuck alteration in the fabric yourself without compromising the bra as the lace is so fine). I have to say, the upper part of the bra is very low and barely covers the top of my boobs, but it is snug and secure. The bra gives me great uplift and brings my boobs in nicely at the sides to give a neater look. Although the bra hasn't been worn and washed yet, it doesn't seem to have compromised the uplift at all and I am pretty pleased with the overall look of my boobs, which need A LOT of uplift, shaping and support at my age! The straps on this bra are silky and decorative, so it is nice to wear under a toning strappy top or dress for holidays, without the straps looking too utilitarian. I would only wear this bra for fairly frivolous use as my boobs do feel quite exposed.......in a good way iykwim!<br />If you cut out the lining, I found it easier to a do a neat and careful job with the first cut, rather than a rough cut, then going back to trim the edges.<br />Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-60182663702496835052012-05-30T08:23:17.569-07:002012-05-30T08:23:17.569-07:00this is the first time I have heard anyone doing t...this is the first time I have heard anyone doing this, thanks for the tip going to try it. real sheer underwire bras are so hard to find.

Just...I love alterations :)<br /><br />It looks really nice!<br /><br />Just another tip: Use nail scissors to cut the lining.
