Underwire Bras

What is an Underwire Bra?  

Bras with sewn-in U-shaped wires to cradle the underside of the breast in each bra cup. If you are in the correct bra size and bra style, these bras are the most comfortable. This support feature helps to lift, separate, and shore up the bustline for better shape and extra support- especially for full-figured women. Bras with underwires can be designed with less coverage than those without.  Demi, balconette, and plunge bras use shorter underwires. Thus, good bra style choices for petite and short-waisted women.
