Unless you’re shopping for a sports bra, it seems that many clothing manufacturers have gone underwire-crazy. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t necessarily want to trade comfort for a perky fit in a cute sweater but still wants to select from the hip and trendy bras, removing the underwire from your new bras is the best solution, and it will accommodate your comfort and your fashion sense, too. So, go wild on your next bra-shopping expedition, and hurry home for a quick fix on your new purchases.
Look for bras that actually say "T-Shirt" style on the tag. A proper T-shirt bra has no seams or embellishments and features smooth, contoured cups.
Select a neutral color. Nude gives the best return on your investment as it's the most versatile and least visible color. If you plan to wear your T-shirt bra beneath a white T-shirt, avoid wearing a white bra. White on white creates a shadow that will make the cheap lingerie more noticeable. Nude is the only way to go.
Choose the style that's right for you. Underwire bras come in several different varieties, so you need to find one that suits your style and clothing choices. If you wear many low-cut tops, you want a bra that won't show, so a full-coverage cup would be a bad choice. If you're large-chested, you might opt for something with more coverage, since you need more support.
Pick comfortable straps. The perfect underwire bra should have straps that feel comfortable after a long day. They shouldn't dig into your skin or bunch up. Some models now have wide straps and gel cushions to make your bra even more comfortable.
Insert the needle on the inside of the bra at the outer edge of the ripped underwire casing 1/16 inch from the top edge of the bra. Make small stitches parallel to the bra edge to completely cover the casing from edge to edge. Knot the thread and cut.
Insert the needle again, 1/8-inch down from the first stitch line on the inside of the bra. Make another stitch line parallel to the first, using small stitches. Make sure the stitch line completely covers the the casing from edge to edge. Knot and cut the thread.
Tape the underwire edge with masking tape if it appears to be sharp.MORE:cheap sexy lingerie
