I find wired bras to be very uncomfortable. Being narrow on top wired bras usually dig into my bones and by the end of the day I just have to get out of them.  There are many things I like about this bra, it is pretty, delicate, washes on gentle cycle well (hang dry, and does not show under most summer clothing. It makes me feel good...most women can understand that statement :o  I can wear all day without discomfort and take off at the end of the day without crease lines left in my skin.  Plus it is very reasonably priced especially for how nice it is maintaining with frequent use. I just ordered three more, another black and one in each of the other colors available. Thanks Glenn's wife.
