I, being a clothing-altering sort on my own, now do that to all my bras.
Man, I wish I was at all talented in this area! I would love to be able to alter all my clothes to fit exactly right.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've definitely found that the best way for me to get a bra that fits right is to go to a bra shop that does alteration, find one that fits in the cups, and have them take in the back.

I just saw yet another commercial refer to unhealthy food as "sinful." I am really getting sick of this.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Haven't bought bras in a couple of years. Not looking forward to when I have to again, as it was a bit of a pain. I'm an average size, but I want seamless cups and no padding. Good luck with that...

6 stitches, in and out in an hour, so not too bad. Hell on my typing, though.

Yikes, Jessica. Here's to quick healing. I am switching summer clothes in and winter clothes out but my summer clothes smell musty. If I hang them on the line for the rest of the afternoon, what's the likelihood that the musty will go away?

Ouch Jess. But I'm glad the ER was relatively painless.
I have a friend who worked in a high bra store in TO that did fittings and altered bras for a perfect fit. But I don't think they had many bras that were under $100.

Ouch, Jessica! Man, maybe my really old polishes should just quietly go away ...
It's been known to happen with new polishes, too. IIRC, bottle flaws leading to shattering were the reason behind the recent American Apparel polish recall. I've got polishes that are old enough to drink that are still in good shape. The only bottle that ever exploded on me was under 2 years old.

Because books.
I had a bottle I actually had to wait to have opened until Garv came home the other day. I couldn't even get it with a rubber gripper. Mortifying.

At Town Shoppe they'll alter any bra as part of the price. I tend to shorten the shoulder straps.
