in which i fail to acquire bras that fit

[lilamp]

i seem to have reached an impasse in my quest for bras that fit. i was hoping to find something on zappos, what with free back and forth shipping, but the two bras i was very hopeful about have disappointed me. 36G fits well in the cup, but the band is on the tightest hooks and would be too loose in no time, and you know, you kinda want a $50 bra to last a while. alas, the 34H is too small, and there is no 34HH. :( (mind you, according to measurements i should be a 38...) pretty much all the other bras i tried on go too far up into my armpits, because apparently my torso isn't long enough. grr! i wonder how hard it would be to add more hooks to a bra...

If you've found cups that fit, can you add more hooks so that the band will tighten more? Not ideal, but ...

yeah, i dunno, i am not a seamstress... i may look into it.

Arsehole bras. :-/ I came to suggest the above too-- maybe take an old bra, cut off the bit with straps and sew that on? But I write this as somebody who has fixed clothes with a stapler before.
