That's exactly what I do! I buy a 34 C and sew in the band. I think anything over a 34-36 band, the placement isn't right with the band (when its sewn in) I also sew in the center gores closer! $6 for my 34C bra, I'm good, for a few months at least. Your growth rate is impressive!

What a coincidence! I was just reading about adjusting center gores today

I wore a 36C with an adjusted band today and my boobs were looking a lil wierd so I went to the bathroom to see what was going on and I noticed that when I pushed the cups together, they looked fine so when I got home I sewed the gores closer and I gotta say, the bra looks much better. Sometimes I wonder if its worth the hassle, but then I see the prices of a 30F and I say, pffft forget it! I'd rather spend some quality time with my sewing machine than drop $74 on one bra

Anyways, when you adjust the center gore, do you just bring the cups closer by sewing up the fabric between the cups or do you actually sew the casing covering the under wire to bring the cups closer together? Like this girl:

I tried the first method, pinch and sew because it's just so much easier. My needles weren't gonna be able to handle the other method though it'd probably hold up better.

I hope I can keep growing rapidly, but I'll probably reach a plateau soon, like almost every other person here so I'm prepared! Got all my herbs and research lined up and ready for battle!

Great site! I have never seen them sewn overlapping, but it did cross my mind. I don't do it that way but the original way of the center material and like, corner to corner of the casing coverings (the edges) at the top: errgh I can't explain it so Ill just show you:

I hate it when bras separate my breasts I will never,never, never, never let them

Oh! I got you. We should start a bra alteration thread, I think a lot of ladies here will be happier buying bigger cups to adjust. When someone asks my bra size, usually female family members, I'm like oh I'm a 36C and they're like, OK but if I said I'm a 32DD, same cup volume, different band, they're like "Uhhhh you don't look like a double d." I just wish more women were educated about how bra sizes work. I know it's complicated but it's not that complicated. They think a 32F is bigger than a 38DD because they never see an F cup bra.
