Top: new bra with cup extension. Bottom: old bra.
After all of the work I put into redoing this costume and extending the bra to a bigger size it did not fit! It was too big. At the time I started the bra I need the extension but once I was ready to fit it for shoulder straps I discovered the cups are way too big. I have never had to pad a bra. EVER. I had no bra padding nor old shoulder pads to be used as push-up padding. Instead I took the original, much smaller bra, and stitched the whole thing inside the new bra. And it actually worked! Once I figured this out I felt pretty genius.
Ideally, I need a bra size somewhere in-between these two. I bet if I had left off the bra extension off the new bra it would have fit fine. Well, hindsight and all.

The belt not quite as gaudy as I would like but I'm done working on it for a while.

Good job! I'm still having issues with my top. Smaller boobs = bigger issues with fitting. I'll keep trying though.

@Lark what kind of problems are you having? I've been helping some of my dance friends with fitting various big and small boob issues. Maybe we can brainstorm.
