How annoying though, especially under the circumstances.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1422317 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 20:37:17 +0000 abc 1422317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For those needing new bras, I just refreshed mine at Soma, its their twice yearly sale and I got some bras for under $20 and found matching panties for $3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1422306 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 20:16:47 +0000 jackiec 1422306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh funny story!! Sorry about the malfunction! I'm sure no one noticed. Yep good reminder to shop for new ones. I'm guilty of wearing-till-falling-apart too. Sadly never popped out of a bra though...nothing there hahaha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1422273 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 19:19:20 +0000 Anonymous 1422273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for wireless bras. A couple of months ago the wires set off the security when flying and I got pulled aside. I'd really like to avoid that. Maybe it will mean taking the wires out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1422140 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 16:03:41 +0000 Diana 1422140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the support (pun intended?) and the laughs! Party went well and I think the benefit of wearing a bubble skirt is that nobody notices a slightly droopy right boob! (In any case J said he couldn't tell when I had clothes on.). </p> <p>I do have plenty of other bras but this is a good reminder that some of them need to be replaced. I have actually had an eBay alert for this one for a while now but no hits so far. It is discontinued and also a brand that's hard to find in the USA in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1422097 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 14:27:12 +0000 Anonymous 1422097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What would YLF do?

I snuck into the work bathroom with scissors and ripped out both sides so at least I was symmetrically droopy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1422019 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 07:56:00 +0000 Deborah 1422019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This HAS happened to me before lol. &nbsp;Its kind of hilarious but very inconvenient. &nbsp;I do need quite a bit of support so I would have actually removed the other side as well to keep things balanced and also for the comfort. &nbsp;It felt weird to have one side supported and the other not. &nbsp;Needles to say, time for a new bra </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421994 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 06:13:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1421994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny story. Time for bra-shopping! I think I would have taken out the other wire, too. Though the vacuum technician at work might have wondered what I was doing, taking his needle-nosed pliers into the restroom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421897 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 01:32:33 +0000 deb 1421897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has happened to me at work an I took both wires out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421888 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 01:20:44 +0000 rae 1421888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have hulked out of a top before. So sad. I would have done the same as you, although I might also have dug out the other side's wire to combat lopsidedness. I hope you aren't too uncomfy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421884 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 01:13:28 +0000 Echo 1421884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am ROFLOL about the "power boobs" and "hulking out" of jeans! However, I actually have had an underwire break before, and was left doing the same thing you did, except I Think I removed the other underwire for the remainder of the day, too. And this reminds me that I am overdue to bra shop, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421803 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 23:49:07 +0000 Angie 1421803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHAHA.

It would have to happen on a day when you are going out straight from work!! I think the sweater will disguise it, but if not, Sveta's suggestion of bright lipstick is excellent. Or, you could try a run in your hose, to ensure they are looking at a different malfunction?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421742 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:31:43 +0000 Diana 1421742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't get the other wire out without cutting open a seam and sewing it back. The only reason I got the broken one out was that the ends had poked through. </p> <p>I may remove the other one when I get home. Sometimes I like a nice wireless bra. But on the other hand maybe it's time to let this one go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421739 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:29:29 +0000 fuzzylogic 1421739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Catastrophe! &nbsp;I&nbsp;would have taken out the other wire, too- I would have felt awkward and the bra has come to the end of it's life anyway.</p> <p>Hope you had a great night, regardless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421734 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:24:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 1421734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd take the other wire out too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421696 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:40:05 +0000 rachylou 1421696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a buggrit. I'd have done the same. I suppose you could pull the other underwire out, or just take off the bra. That's a lot of bother to me tho. But I'm RATE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421693 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:35:35 +0000 Diana 1421693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha Elizabeth, do you remember when I hulked out of my pre- ripped jeans???

I've never had one break like that, although I have had them come out through a hole in the casing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421684 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:21:17 +0000 Diana 1421684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks OK.&nbsp; I don't need a ton of support anyway.&nbsp; I am wearing the floral sweater so the pattern will be distracting anyway. </p> <p>I've never snapped a wire clean in half before!&nbsp; I've had them poke out the ends and get bent out of shape but have never actually broken one.&nbsp; And it's metal too, not plastic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421681 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:17:52 +0000 Dimity 1421681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have done exactly what you did. And I'd&nbsp;be glad that the pieces of wire didn't end up inside my front loader washing machine where they destroy the workings at great cost! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421680 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:17:06 +0000 Sveta 1421680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that's not good when our "foundation" is crashing over our ears (or chest). Is your top fitted or fluid - this won't be as noticable with the fluid top. In the worst case maybe to pull out the second wire too and apply extra layer of a bright lipstick? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421679 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:16:35 +0000 Alassë 1421679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:( I'm sorry, Diana. I guess it is time to look for a new one. Can you source it on eBay if it's not a current model? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-thats-a-new-one-wardrobe-malfunction#post-1421675 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:04:00 +0000 Diana 1421675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I am currently at work, and in a couple of hours I am headed to j's holiday party. A little while ago I noticed that my bra seemed to be poking me painfully. Upon investigation, it turns out that I somehow managed to *snap* an underwire and the jagged ends were poking through the fabric! What to do??? </p> <p>I ended up pulling the two pieces of wire out so at least I'll still have a bra for the party tonight... Hope I don't look too lopsided with only one underwire. What would YLF have done? (No time to go home or to a store that sells bras!)</p> <p>Gah. Guess this is a sign I need to buy new bras. This one was my favorite too. Sigh. </p>
