Wearing a bra that fits perfectly ensures a woman's comfort and proper support. Although bras are designed to fit women of many sizes, you can still have trouble finding the perfect fit as the band or the straps may be too small or large. With basic sewing skills, however, you can make some adjustments to your bra.
Sew a line parallel to the closure edge, 1/8 inch from the closure edge using small stitches. Make several more looped stitches at the other outer edge of the closure. Knot and cut the thread.

Insert the needle again on the inside of the bra 1/8 inch from the first stitch line on the closure. Make the looped stitches at the outer edge. Make another stitch line parallel to the first. Make additional looped stitches at the other end. Knot and cut the thread.
Fix a Bent Hook Closure
9
Flatten the wire using the needle-nose pliers, making sure the three wires of the hook are parallel to each other.
10
Use the pliers to bend the hook back into shape, making sure to leave a gap between the hook and the bra itself.
11
Test the hook by fastening the closure lingeries. If the hook does not line up with the eye, use the pliers to bend out the hook and rebend it to fit the eye.
Fix a Detached Bow
12
Insert the threaded needle on the back of the bra where the center of the bow is to be placed. Pierce the bra fabric and the bow with the needle.
13
Turn the needle around and insert the needle back into the same place. Repeat the stitches at least three times. Knot and cut the thread on the inside of the bra.
14
Check that the bow is secure by giving it a gentle tug.
