How to Repair an Underwire Bra

It can be aggravating - and expensive when your underwire bra breaks, either because the wire itself is broken or because it has come dislodged. However, you may be able to repair the bra and salvage what may be an otherwise good bra. If the entire bra is already worn out, skip this step and buy a new one but if your bra is still in good condition and if you are on a budget, it may be worth it to repair it yourself.

If the wire has broken, just throw it away. You can use the other wire in this bra to repair another bra so take out the other wire before you ditch the bra. You'll need a seam ripper, which you can find wherever sewing supplies are sold. You'll need to rip out the seam where the wire is encased and if you are going to throw the bra away anyway, you don't even have to be careful.

When you have a spare wire and need to replace one that has broken, take your seam ripper and open the casing where the wire goes. Remove the broken wire and then replace it with your spare wire. Then you'll need to sew up the wire casing so that your new wire doesn't come dislodged in the wash. Once you do this a couple of times, it will be easy and you'll save yourself mega bucks by not having to replace your bra every time the wire breaks. Good Bras can be expensive so this is a great skill to learn.
