Bras are so expensive so these tips are most appreciated, especially the underwire fix. Thank you!!

[@margareth1504]

Until now, once a wire came through the fabric it was nothing but binable. I tried sewing it up before but that wire kept coming through anyway. Now if it happens I can try this cross over stitching. 👍

Oh My GOSH!!!! Thank you for this fantastic video. I have two $250+ bras that I ordered online given the size chart. I wore them before realizing that they didn't do the job quite like I'm used to. They are too big and I couldn't find a sewist who knew how to fix them. I couldn't bear to throw them out. Now I can enjoy them thanks to your video. You are the best!

[@yasminenache]

God bless you! You are a life saver. So simple and easy. I used to pull out the underwire.

[@lorcashine]

Great info. So frustrated by these issues for years! Thanks for the clear instructions. Can wait to fix the ones I didn't already throw away!

[@aussiebushhomestead3223]

Thanks for this great info. Underwires have been a constant challenge, but not anymore! Thanks again.

[@mafarmtown2086]

Sorry, but the cross stitching of the hole that the underwire made will not be sufficient for very long in keeping the wire in place. The tip of the underwire wears through the stitching in a very short time. Speaking from experience in repairs of mine over the years.

[@BridalSewing]

No, it doesn't last long. Underwires have to be repaired fairly frequently.

[@Bellecouleur]

@@mafarmtown2086 I use a double layer of grosgrain ribbon to repair these.

[@kf505]

I just sewed a popped out underwire last night before your video came into my feed! Your way is so much easier than all the stitches I used. I had previously hand sewn it only for the wire to reappear again. I love the idea of moving the straps in the back. When you are plus size, it's cheaper to buy a smaller band size and use the hook insert sometimes than to buy the proper band size but then the straps want to fall. Glad you fell into my feed, thank you for the tips!

[@retrochic1965]

I worked at a Walmart several years ago and bra extenders seemed to be popular. The one I worked at, they could be found in two places. One was by the bras and the other place was in the craft department mixed in with the sewing notions. I wouldn't just tell the customer where to look, I would actually walk them to the location.

[@BridalSewing]

I found this in the sewing section.

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

@@retrochic1965 last time I went bra shopping (Walmart indeed!), the extenders were my saving grace. I tried and tried bras till I almost cried with tiredness and frustration. Nothing fit properly - either the cups fit and the band was too short, or the band fit and the cups didn't. Thankfully, I remembered the extenders, got the bras with the fitting cups plus matching extenders, and called it a day. Finally. 🥴✌️👍

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks! You just saved me a bunch of money. I bought some bras that did not fit well. Since I had removed tags, etc., I was sure I couldn’t return them. Fortunately I kept them around. Now I know how I can make them fit! BTW, you have such a pleasant voice!😊

[@PamelaKirkbride-qv6ld]

Those fixes would cause bulky three layer ridges against your body and would be very uncomfortable. You would have to do them on a sewing machine and cut off the excess material to get them to lay flat and not dig into you. The underwire thing is a good idea f it works, but I have tried sewing it on a sewing machine and even adding it over with another layer of soft material to reinforce the place where the wires came through, but on has still poked through that! I think they should make the wires with more blunt ends and double thickness fabric over the ends when they are made.

[@lorcashine]

They probably make them that way on purpose so they do poke through and we have to buy new ones. Many people find a bra that fits and keep buying the same style over and over. So frustrating. That is a great idea. They could round them and then coat the very ends with a little thin rubber too.

[@joannekaiser1380]

The ”x” stitch closes the hole. But, how to prevent the wire from busting through your repair? I’ve stitched the hole closed only to have the wire break free.

[@blaireshoe8738]

I'm really curious how this affects the feel of how they lay. For example the racerback solution, the way the strap twists at the temporary bow would annoy me, but the permanent solution would be fine sensory-wise. I really can't imagine how the bunching inside from any of the ladder stitches would feel. Might just have to try them myself to find out!

[@Dwynfal]

@@blaireshoe8738 I've done the fix on the side of the cup a few times and found that, on the more padded or moulded bras, it could be a bit annoying. That said, the more stitches you use the less you feel it because the stitches compress the lumps. I first tried use6-7 stitches and it was OK but a bit annoying so I ripped it out and redid with 12-15 stitches and I could not feel it!

[@dale3404]

@@Dwynfal good to know. Thank you.

[@Bane_Amesta]

@@blaireshoe8738 I did the ladder stich on the band of my bra, but in the opposite side, aka I put the bunching fabric outside and then sew it again to keep it flat. Of course this isn't the best option for everyone but in my case I don't care too much since no one will see it, and it wasn't a bra with many decorations either.

[@BridalSewing]

I'm sure it's more comfortable & it wouldn't be seen with loose clothing.

At least three of those things happen to me.. I have just purchased a new bra because of the underwire stabbing me. I will now see about fixing it. I always thought the slipping bra strap was because I had sloppy shoulders. Thanks for the tips!

[@BridalSewing]

Some people's shoulders are more sloped. In that case, moving the straps in can help.

[@mjb9176]

I’ve sewn the little tear the underwire made only to have it poke through again. Had hubs cut it shorter by an inch and sanded the cut metal. That really helped. Also hand washing them. Even in a pillowcase in the wash I suspect that the underwires were getting pushed out the sides.

I've had breast cancer surgery and been told not to wear underwired bras ,is there ap way of removing the wires from my bras that will still give me the support I need?. Thank you. Lorna in UK ❤️🇬🇧

[@BridalSewing]

It depends on the design. Since you cant wear them anyway, try putting a little slit in the channel & take them out & try it on. You might be able to wear the bra that way. You might find that you need a bra that was designed to be worn without underwires.

[@heard3879]

I have purchased so many of those bra extenders and they're not always able to fit the bras. The hooks and loops are usually a little further apart or closer together than the bra has. Very frustrating.

[@blaireshoe8738]

So I guess I'll need to take a measuring tape with me and pre-measure my own, I would have thought they'd be standard, thanks for pointing this out!

[@LOioma]

The hook size itself can be different, too. So, it will still fit, but you need to push it in.

You can replace them. You can buy new underwires by themselves according to cup size, or, you can find a very cheap bra on sale that you don't necessarily love & cut the wire out to put it in your favorite bra, to extend its life.

[@Myword6-6]

Why you not use the same color

[@BridalSewing]

This was purely for demonstration. I used contrasting color so it would be more clear. I did mention that in the video. 🤗

[@LOioma]

Thanks for detailed video! However, I strongly disagree with fixing last issue of failing straps on the back. It seems easier to just cut and attach with three stitches there, but it will add 2 more problems: the cups on the front will rotate and show some gaping, since the angle of the strap is changed; on bigger cup sizes the band will dig in the back, since those "peaks" that was tucked in is used to smooth and distribute tension on the back. If bra is bigger then A or B cup it will be a lot easier to reattach strap on the front closer and spend some time dealing with lace and tucking a small triangle of cup in (it's thinniest near the strap) then trying to fix both issues with fit on back and front. If reattaching strap on the front is not an option due to design, a piece of lace, ribbon or elastic can be sewn to to both cup and strap on the front, forming a triangle, making a cup "higher" and strap won't fall either.

[@BridalSewing]

@@LOioma it can def cause these problems if you push them too far, but if they are already too wideset and you move them in just right, it doesn't cause a problem. I've done it before. & really, every bra is different.
