Perking Up those Old Bras: 2

It is possible to repair some old bras. If the underwire is poking out of your favorite bra, all you need is a needle and some thread, maybe even a paperclip to help stabilize the troublesome wire.

If you have a bra that is just looking a little worn and boring, but that is not falling apart, why not jazz it up? You can add lace, appliques, sequins — anything you like, really, as long as it suits your personal aesthetic.

Now, sometimes, a bra just cannot be saved. Maybe it is too small, maybe it is too big, maybe it just does not suit your style any longer. We are going to talk about a number of things you can do about that in the next post, but sometimes, you may just want to give up the ghost and donate your unwanted lingerie to charity.
