To provide a brassiere solving such problems that wire is liable to get loose in a lateral direction or the central part of a cup part is liable to rise in front when the side parts of the wire is laterally pulled, and thereby effect of putting the breasts to the central part of the brassiere or shape retaining effect is not fully successful and wearing feeling is extremely spoiled.

The brassiere has the following structure: flexible wire is provided at the lower side part of the cup part so that the side part of the wire is at a position lower than the frontal center horizontal line of the brassier; non-stretchable side panels are provided at the side parts of the cup part; and the upper parts of the side panels are extended so as to form parts of shoulder straps. Such a structure results in preventing the wire from getting loose in a lateral direction, and preventing the breast from leaning to the side part so as to be fully effective in putting the breast to the center part to obtain such a brassiere as to be excellent in soft feeling and shape retaining effect.
