If you are experiencing spillage at the neckline, but the overall cup shape feels correct, you might simply need more fullness in the upper cup. I am my own fit model, and have very little tissue in the upper part of the breast, so if you have a more rounded shape, you might need more room in the cup. Another indication of needing this pattern alteration is tightness in the vertical seam above the apex up to the strap position. This pattern alteration applies to both the Annika Wireless Bra and Zenita Wireless Bra. Shown below are the Inner Cup/Outer Cup pieces for Zenita. I recommend applying the changes (and creating a test fit sample) in just these pieces before applying the changes to the Upper/Lower Inner and Outer Cup pieces of Zenita. After adjusting the pattern pieces, be sure to measure the seamlines, and make sure they will match. Increase the curve from the apex and blend into the seamline. This is a subtle addition; if you need to add more than 1/4" on each side then it would be better to increase one cup size and adjust the fit from there. The opposite adjustment would be adding fullness in the lower cup. You might need this adjustment if there is a flat spot and/or tightness in the lower portion of the cup below the apex. I would caution against adding too much to the lower cup, because the breast could sink down and look like it is sagging in the cup.
