Fixing distorted bra cups

[Ainsley]

I have this problem with a couple of my bras: the shape of one of the cups is a bit warped, perhaps due to being a bit crushed during shipping or something. I've tried pushing them back into shape by hand with more or less vigour but haven't had much success with that method.

Does anyone know a way to reshape them? I'm having visions of those wooden stretchers that you put in shoes...

The only thing I can think of is the shoe-horn concept. That is, stuffing something into the cup to reshape it, then maybe hang it up in the bathroom while you're taking a shower for a few nights.

i thought the same thing as vilia but in reverse. get the base moist [sweaty or steamy] then stuff it with something until it drys and hopefully it will retain the new shape.

if you figure out a "cure" for this, please post it. it must happen to everyone

I've had limited success with draping the bra over a couple of wine or liquor bottles (with the necks of the bottles pushing into the centers of the dents) and leaving it for a few days. If the bra has loads of beads, its own weight will help push the dents out. It's only a temporary fix, the cups will eventually re-dent themselves, but if you can plan ahead you can set up the bra a few days before you want to wear it.

Aziza Sa'id had a trick for this...hmmm...you get the bra quite damp with water and a little vodka I believe, and then stuff a grapefruit in there and let it air dry. :)
