underwire
Curved chest support
Underwire is a thin, curved piece of metal or plastic sewn into a bra beneath each cup to provide support and shape.
The term works as both noun and modifier: an underwire bra, the underwire is poking through.
Bras without this feature are called wireless or soft-cup.
