underwired
Has metal support
Underwired describes a bra or similar garment with a semicircular wire sewn into the fabric beneath each cup.
The wire provides structural support and lift, shaping the bust more definitively than soft-cup alternatives: She preferred underwired bras for formal occasions.
The wire can dig uncomfortably if the fit is wrong.
