FAQs

Can I cut or alter the bra cups?
It is not recommended to cut or alter the bra cups, as this may compromise their structure, stability, and intended shape.
How do I ensure they lay flat and don't create bumps?
Properly pinning and carefully sewing the edges of the cups to the garment fabric will help ensure they lay flat and create a smooth line.
Troubleshooting
Bra cups feel uneven after sewing.
Ensure the cups were placed and pinned symmetrically before sewing. Check that the stitching is consistent around the entire edge of both cups.
Stitching is pulling or puckering the fabric.
Adjust your sewing machine tension. Use a finer needle suitable for your fabric. Consider using a stabilizer or a zigzag stitch for more flexibility.
Cups do not provide enough support.
Verify that the correct size cup was chosen. Ensure the cups are sewn securely to the garment's structure. For added support, consider reinforcing the garment's underbust band or straps.

Use a fabric lining or interlining over the cups. Choose a beige color that closely matches the garment fabric. Ensure the stitching is as close to the edge of the cup as possible.
