I thought this might be helpful for all you hard-to-fit gals out there:
I took a bra that fit well, took a deep breath, and then cut the strap off, leaving about 1/4" of strap attatched to the cup.
I picked up a 2-hook width bra extender, and cut it down the middle, splitting the two rows of hooks. Then I cut one eye off the top of each side (I only wanted three hook positions on the strap), and I cut the actual hook off. I sewed the hook onto the portion of the strap near the cup, and the row of three eyes onto the strap. Then I took a piece of elastic, sewed one end to the cup near the underwire, and one end to the strap. This keeps the strap from flying away when unhooked.
It really wasn't that hard. I'm so proud of myself. Now, I have to find a tan extender to do another bra.
