Altering your bra cup to fit a smaller wire (aka the omega alteration) - a more accurate way

Image
The "omega alteration" is an alteration that aims to fit a bra cup into a smaller wire by shaving length off the wireline seam (distributed across the cup pattern pieces).  The standard omega adjustment This is what it looks like, and you may know this is something I have written about before, although I always felt that what I wrote was incomplete. Essentially , this alteration can cause a bunch of cup shaping issues  in its users and I have tried for a while to find a solution that works for different styles of bra. I believe I have found this method so I'm sharing it with you all. This alteration also works in reverse for those who need larger wires than typical.
