Airbrushed silicone
Looking for some advice...I am less-than-busty. Very much so. As in, I can barely fit an A cup. I have a top that I made (well, okay, kinda. It got left out in the backyard for a long time and is currently covered in dirt...and algae. Oops lol) on a bra that was actually one of my sisters' that got left behind when they moved out. It's small, an A, I believe. It has lions paw shells. Pretty average. But when I swim, water will rush in and it's tiny-boob-a-palooza when the water pulls the top away from my chest. I have it tied up with netting and double knot it and make it tight enough that it actually hurts my neck.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? Add more stuff around the shells so more of my chest is covered? I never thought having TINY boobs would be a problem. :|
Syd, maybe add netting that goes over the center of the top? Like a bandeu top?
I would make sure you have the correctly sized bra first! My bras used to gap a bunch on the top. But when I got correctly measured and figured out sister sizing, bras magically started to fit. I'm not sure if that'll solve everything, but it may help a little!Quote:

I really think a sports bra will hold on tight to you and you won't have to always be looking down to make sure your top is not gaping open when you bend over or swim, etc. I know how you feel though. I have put on a top, gotten in the pool, then had to tie it much tighter and constantly worry about it. I hate wearing a one piece though so I know that that is not always a fun option.Quote:

Or buy booster bras.
I have the same problem! Lol I actually now use the gell adhesive inserts ie. Fake Boobie. It helps add that extra push and fills in the gaps's and if your bra still gaps no one can see the itty-bitty's[emoji12]
Just purchase some close to your skin color.

Wow, I thought I was alone with this problem! Thanks for all the responses! :) the bandeau thing sounds like a good idea..and like it can turn out to be really cute :) I'd definitely like to try those silicone things! They look comfy!
I've always had issues with bras. Never had one that fit properly. I try to avoid wearing them as much as possible. Because freedom. Lol
Just finished my top ^_^

Doesn't show the colours that well, but its the same as my tail (silver and dark blue) ^_^
That is pretty! Wish I wasn't allergic to acrylic plastic.Quote:
