A Very Roomy Wireline

 

This wireline was drawn for the wider underwire. It was apparently made to have close to an half inch of “wire spring” and them the pattern was flattened to allow for lace edge (page 86 of the 2nd Bra Makers Manual). 

The narrower underwire is what fits me. Therefore the difference between the two comes out as “wire spring,” or excess space between wire and wireline. Now, I’ve adjusted the frame as directed in the general fitting adjustments, and there is still over 2 inches of gap between my wire and the wireline, or an extra inch between the wires that mine would have to stretch or pull against the frame. 

I’m pointing this out because this brand of pattern seems to do something to the wire or hold it in such a way that it digs into my sides. I’m really hoping there is a fix for this. I like the height on these bands, but is that the issue? Should I switch the cups to another bra band and see if the fit improves? I’ll see if this adjustment works by wearing these over the weekend.
