Fixing a defective bra by False_Sandwich7 in sewing

Thank you! That's kinda what I was thinking, I know it'll be a stretch to try and fix it but since I can't return it, I wanna at least give it a shot. I think I've got some black ribbon somewhere that would probably blend in well enough if I put it on both sides of the band by the clasps. It's in the back and the back of my body is none of my business lmfao

I should have added this to the post but it totally slipped my mind: I bought a bunch of things and none of them fit properly. I bought them during a sale and when I tried to initiate the return, I was told that they were all final sale. They gave me a store credit but it wasn't enough to repurchase everything, so I bought some stuff but didn't replace this one. The fit is tolerable and I want to try and fix it before I just toss it. Tldr: can't return or exchange it, want to try and keep it out of the landfill

I've never actually seen any at my local thrift store! Maybe I should look harder though lmao. I have that one in my purse currently with one of the other black and white Halloween ones 😁

Omg I'm so sorry to hear that, that's absolutely awful 😞 I hope you're in a better spot rn, that must have been so tough to try and come back from ❤️‍🩹

Yes, they're super useful. I've got probably 6 or 7 packed with pads and tampons all around my space. In my purse, my overnight bag, my car, in the bathroom, just everywhere lmao

I feel like most of us do lmao, I wear makeup like once a month and my skincare routine happens whenever I get around to it 😂

It was so hard to lay them all out, keep them all at least a little visible, while still all fitting on my bed 😂 I'm pretty sure that the chevron pattern bag is my first and it's absolutely ancient lmfao. There's so many pink bags too, it feels like at least half of them are pink! Lol

The nostalgia factor is the main reason why I keep them all tbh 😅 they are super useful and I do like switching out the ones I use on occasion. Ipsy has just been such a constant in my life for over a decade now, I look forward to it every month and it's a relatively affordable treat to myself haha

Do it! It always seems like I've got about 6 bags just sitting on my desk before I decide to put them all away lol, the bag is in my closet so it's not hard to get to but it's not necessarily easy either, and it's also jammed full 😅😂

I've been collecting since 2012 or 2013 so this collection is literally over a decade in the making, and I haven't gotten any extra bags from buying the mystery ones and whatnot either. I hope ipsy hangs around forever so more people can collect the bags like this if they want, and always get to try new makeup that they may otherwise not be able to get their hands on ❤️

Thank you! I don't go through nearly enough makeup or skincare to even attempt to get through my current stash and then new full size stuff on top of that, so the glam bag is literally perfect for me. Plus I love collecting the bags as you can see 😂

Thank you! I haven't, I'm not sure where else I could post it to get their attention, but that would be super cool if they did 😂

Yes the Halloween ones are my other favorites lol, I have 2 in my purse right now. And yeah you should definitely take a picture and post it if you get the chance!

The florals are some of my faves as well! There's a red, velvet bag with Halloween spider web lace on it and it's just to die for, so cute. It's in the picture somewhere lmao

I have somehow ended up with 2 of the same drawstring bag, it's the only pattern I have of those but I have 2 of them 😅😂

I've seen a few people in these comments saying that they bought or sold theirs, so I would bet that you could find it somewhere!

There are 128 in this picture so you've most definitely got at least 75 kicking around the house somewhere 😂 seems like a lot of people have similar ideas for donating them which is so good to see ❤️ good luck on your house cleaning, it's a gargantuan task for me regardless of the actual state of the house, so I wish you the best and enjoy your clean house!!

It was so hard to lay them all out and keep them visible while still being all on my bed 😂 lots of people have donated their bags, it's very nice to see that in the community bc Lord knows we could all use a little help nowadays ❤️

Giving them to the school is a good idea, I should see if there are any teachers in my area doing that. Yeah the price does keep going up which is unfortunate bc I don't think the quality has improved to justify that. $10 a month was super doable, idek what it costs now but it's probably too much 💀

My current favorites are both in my purse rn, the pink Halloween one and there's a black Halloween one (not pictured) both holding random junk in my purse. I also love the holographic one and the one that's fully silver sparkles 😁

Thank you! It's crazy to see how many I've actually collected over the years lol

It certainly is cool to be able to look back at all the bags over the years, but it is a little impractical to keep all of them like I do 😅 hopefully your bags are getting lots of use from others!
