This is a wired shelf bra. The wires are not sewn to the cups at all. The shelf is on the outside, the wire structure is on the inside. It's very comfortable. I am planning to alter it because I got it super cheap and the shelf area is too small. The wires are almost perfect for me, which is hard to find.

I had high hopes, but the construction is odd. I found a few reviews on other websites saying the top ran small in both band and cup, so I went from my usual 32G to 34G. I think I agree that it runs small. I probably could wear a 32 band in this, but I prefer swimwear to be less snug so the 34 is good. The construction--it's almost like they stopped making it before it was finished. The underwire isn't fully attached to the cups, it's only attached at the bottom. Because the underwire isn't fully attached to the rest of the suit top, the gore tacks, but offers next to no support. The result is really unflattering and unsupportive. Before I even tried it on, I was looking at it thinking "What were they thinking? Did I get a defective one?" It ended up a twisted mess just trying to measure it for bratabase.
It might be better for someone in a smaller cup size or who has less soft tissue, but it was awful for me.
This bra is not owned any more
