Abstract (en)

The invention relates to the field of women's underwear. The technical problem solved by the invention is to provide a comfortable arc-shaped underwire (11, 12, 14) with simple structure. An arc-shaped underwire, is embedded in the lower edge of a bra cup (2) for supporting the breasts; the underwire is arc-shaped as a whole and is provided with an inner (11) and outer end (12) that respectively faces and deviates from the middle part (4) of the bra; at least one end of the outer and inner ends deflects in a direction deviating from the body. The end of the underwire maintains a certain gap with the body to ensure that it would not press the user. The structure is comfortable to use.
