Mending your leggings--runs, holes and rips
« on: March 11, 2011, 01:29:50 pm »
I've grown to love wearing leggings because it's a flexible fashion clothing. You can wear it with a short dress, a long shirt or even with boots. The problem is, I always have to replace my leggings and buy new ones because they tend to run and get ugly holes in them...  :'(

I've tried wearing thick leggings like the ones sold in bench and looser ones so they don't stretch the fabric out and make it prone to running but I still end up with the same problem--unwanted runs, holes and rips when I wear them (not when I'm washing them). It's getting really frustrating and draining for my wallet to have to buy one after just a few weeks.

Any tips from my fellow legging lovers? Is there a good brand that's more durable and long-wearing against rips? What do you do when your leggings get a rule or a hole in public?

i do the same. mas hassle pa kasi mag repair and i am the epitome of an undomestic goddess! lol

but i rarely encounter naman getting runs or holes in my leggings and some of mine are divisoria bought. i also get stuff from bench and landmark, same thing.. the most problem i encounter is when the crotch part na breaks apart.. but that's only from too much washing and wearing. when it happens i just throw it out.
they say i look good. trust me, i taste even better! :D
