How do I keep the wire in my bra?

I have one bra that fits me perfectly and the wire has come out of one side. I have tried to sew it, but it comes out again. Have any of you ladies got any tips?

    That looks really good. Mind you, when you scroll down to read the reviews, one is really positive, but the others didn't get on with it at all. Have you tried it?

  • I fixed mine and touch wood it has not poped out againg by sewing a thick piece of fabric over the hole, so far the wire has not come out of the fabric.

    I’m back and more determined than ever!!!!!

    dab of superglue? and don't wash your bras in the washing machine - nothing worse for underwires.

    I second the bit of fabric over the hole... And also, depending on which side the wire has come out, I have folded the armpit bit over before and that's kept it in place.

    I wash bras in a small zip-up net lingerie bag, so they can go in the washing machine without getting damaged. It seems to help. I bought the bags for about £3 each at John Lewis but I'm sure they are probably available even more cheaply elsewhere.

    I read the thread title as "How do I keep the wife in her bra?".

    Then I reailsed many probably wouldn't moan about that too much...unless down the pub!
  • Not a very glamorous suggestion but it does work, honest...
    before you sew up the opening, put a little ball of blue-tac or similar over the end of the wire. I don't know if it blunts the end, sticks to the fabric or quite what but it's always worked for me!
