Bra Underwires – Profile 17 | Balconette

Bra underwires with a medium center, medium side, wide fit, and open coverage are suitable for Balconette bras where an open upper cup line, a wider base, and a light fit without too much coverage are needed. This shape works well for balconette bras, sewn cups with underwire, and styles with a horizontal neckline, where it is important to lift the bust, keep the upper cup more open, and make the fit comfortable without too much stiffness.

The shape has a medium center, medium side, wide fit, and open coverage. The medium center makes the front part of the bra more versatile and not too high, while the medium side helps support the bust from the side without adding too much stiffness.

The wide fit is suitable for designs that need more space at the base of the cup and a more comfortable distribution of pressure. Open coverage makes the fit visually lighter and works well for Balconette styles where the upper part of the cup should stay more open, while still keeping shape and support.

The underwires are made from Bekaert wire. Bekaert is a Belgian manufacturer of steel wire and protective coatings, whose materials are used in industries where consistent quality, precise shape, and material reliability are important.

The wire has double corrosion protection: galvanizing and PET plastic coating. This creates a smooth surface, reduces friction against the fabric, and helps keep the finished garment looking neat.

The ends of the underwires are covered with protective drop-shaped tips. They help protect the fabric from damage and reduce the risk of the underwire piercing the channel during wear or after washing.

Two wire options are available for order: flat and oval. Flat wire is suitable for most standard lingerie styles. Oval wire is chosen when a softer and more comfortable underwire is needed, especially for plus-size lingerie.
