Carefully remove the gel pads from the bra

Measure around your ribs, just under the breasts, to the nearest half-inch to determine your size. Add one to this measurement and then multiply by six. This is the number of the stitches you will need to cast on for the bra band. If you have a measurement of 30 inches, for example, you add one (31) and multiply by six (186) to cast on a total of 186 stitches.

Beginning with a purl row, knit five rows in stockinette stitch (alternating rows of knit and purl).

Carefully remove the gel pads from the cheap lingerie  There is typically a small slit or tucked seam that allows you to pull the gel pads out of the bra. Do not use any sharp objects to remove the pads as you may puncture the gel.

Loosen the straps on your brassiere by pulling the strap clip up while firmly grasping the back of the strap in the other hand. Strap clips are circular or rectangular pieces of metal or plastic.

Put the brassiere on by clipping only the bra band in the front or back in a comfortable position. Leave the straps hanging loosely on your shoulders. Stand in front of a mirror that allows you to view the entire upper portion of your body.

Try loosening both straps and hooking your bra band on a tighter notch before you begin to alter the bra. Sometimes, women try to lift their breasts by tightening their bra straps more than is necessary. However, because all breast support is supposed to stem from the band rather than the straps, the only thing accomplished by tightening the straps too much is making the bra band ride up the wearer's back and appear too big. If your bra band still seems too big after you try this step, move on to Step 2.

Put on the bra with the band unhooked. Pinch both ends of the band to fit in the back. Then, have someone draw lines on each band 1 inch from the points where you have pinched. The 1-inch leeway is there so you will have room to sew the clasps back on in later steps. If there is no one available to help you, it is possible to mark the band on your own, but it will require some skillful maneuvering on your part to pinch and mark the bra at the same time. Another option is to put the bra on backward so you can mark the band in the front, but this may result in a less precise measurement and only works for small-breasted women.
