Hey Racer, I've recently taken up sewing. Theoretically one can sew bras from scratch, so anyone can get a perfect fit. I'm thinking of salvaging some cups off ones that fit and making bands to match. (if I find cups small enough, the bands are usually too small) But now I'm still at the level of sewing t-shirts with sleeves that are long enough.
It's kind of liberating, to quit thinking my body isn't the 'right' proportions. Instead, it's the garment manufacturers who arbitrarily limit their sizes to some supposed average. I saw an article in a sewing magazine on fitting jeans to any body.. they featured plus-size women getting perfect custom-fit jeans. They looked great in them. I swear it nearly brought a tear to my eye, since so much of my body non-acceptance has happened in fitting rooms.
