How to Restore Your Favorite Lingerie by Changing its Elastics
Lingerie is much more than just clothing, it combines comfort, style and sometimes sentimental value. Yet even the most refined pieces don't always stand the test of time. Elastic wear is a common problem, resulting in a loss of fit and support. Rather than throwing away your favorite lingerie, opt for a professional repair. Elastic replacement restores your underwear to its original comfort and aesthetics, while promoting more responsible consumption.
Why replace the elastic in your lingerie?
Elastic bands are a key element in lingerie. They guarantee a perfect fit and provide the necessary support to ensure the garment's comfort. However, these elements are particularly subject to wear and tear. Repeated washing, exposure to heat and even simple daily use can loosen or deform them over time.
A weakened elastic no longer provides the proper support and can cause discomfort or alter the silhouette that lingerie is intended to enhance. Instead of replacing the whole piece, changing the elastic is an economical and effective solution that extends the life of your lingerie while respecting its original design.
The Elastic Replacement Process at TILLI
At TILLI, our sewing craftsmen take good care of your lingerie to guarantee a result that lives up to your expectations.
The first step is to examine the piece to assess the condition of the elastics and the feasibility of the repair. Old elastics are carefully removed without damaging delicate fabrics, whether lace, silk or cotton. Our craftsmen then select quality elastics, adapted to the color and material of your lingerie, to guarantee a discreet, harmonious finish.
These new elastics are attached using sewing techniques adapted to fine textiles. Each seam is carefully sewn to ensure perfect support, durability and aesthetics. Finally, a rigorous inspection is carried out to ensure that the comfort and elegance of your lingerie are restored.
The advantages of entrusting your repairs to TILLI

By replacing elastics rather than buying a new piece, you can extend the life of your lingerie and save money at the same time. It's also part of a sustainable approach, reducing textile waste and enhancing the value of the clothes you already own.

Taking Care of Your Lingerie After a Repair
Once the elastics have been replaced, it's essential to adopt good care practices to preserve your lingerie. Wash your underwear by hand with a mild detergent, avoiding excessive rubbing. If you prefer to use a washing machine, place them in a protective net and choose a delicate, low-temperature program.
For drying, avoid tumble-drying and let your lingerie air-dry on a flat surface or drying rack. Avoid direct heat sources, which can weaken elastics and alter fabrics. Finally, store your lingerie in a dry, well-ventilated space, avoiding compressing it under other garments to preserve its shape and structure.
Replacing lingerie elastics is a lasting solution for bringing your favorite undergarments back to life. At TILLI, our skilled craftsmen offer you a professional service, tailored to each piece and carried out with care. Thanks to their expertise, your lingerie regains its comfort, support and aesthetics, so you can wear it with pleasure and confidence.
