How to Fix Your Underwire Bra Real Quick?<\/h2>\n

If you want to save your underwire bra and also your skin from its poking, you will need a few things and a little magic of your resourcefulness. So grab a duct tape or a moleskin, a needle of 6-8 inches, an upholstery thread of the matching colour, and a nail polish or fabric glue. Once you\u2019ve got all these things, here are a few steps that you need to follow:<\/p>\n

Step 1: Pull Out the Protruding Wire<\/h3>\n

The phrase \u2018two negatives make a positive\u2019 falls right into place when you are repairing your underwire bra. Pull the protruding wire out just as much as 2-3 inches from the seam so that it\u2019s clearly visible.\"Pull<\/p>\n

Step 2: Wrap the End of the Wire<\/h3>\n

Once the wire is visible poking away from the seam, it\u2019s time to put the duct tape to use. Cut a portion of the tape big enough to properly wrap around the wire. You can also use a moleskin instead of the duct tape.\"Wrap<\/p>\n

Step 3: Poke the Wire Back In<\/h3>\n

Following up, poke the wire back into its original place. You wouldn\u2019t want it to peek out to hurt your skin again.\"Poke<\/p>\n

Step 4: Stitch the Edges<\/h3>\n

Now is the time to put your hand sewing skills to some good use. Use the needle & thread to stitch the gap in the fabric and close the ends once the task is done.\"StitchStep 5: Reinforce the Stitching<\/h3>\n

To ensure that all your work doesn\u2019t come undone, use a nail polish (preferably transparent) or fabric glue to dab on the stitching. This will seal the seam from coming apart. You can repeat this step after you handwash it.\"Reinforce<\/p>\n
