Hi everybody:
I have a favorite bra that is not all that old and one of the underwires has poked through the casing. It’s a very small tear, just enough for the end of the wire to jab me in the ribcage!
What would be the best way to mend this? I don’t want to throw it out since it was rather expensive and the rest of the bra is fine.
Thank you for your ideas!

How about using a small bias strip. I would think a light weight but fairly tight weave should work pretty well. You could try to match the color depending on the bra. I would think hand stitching would probably be quickest and easiest in the long run. But I don't think it would take to many stitches. I thought about saying fusible interfacing. This would be very quick and easy but I don't know that it would be very durable. Good luck.

that has happened to me, the wire starts to poke through. just shove it back in and put a few sturdy stitiches by hand where it poked the fabric. It will hold for months and months.
