The first brassiere underwire stay (110) is composed of a first left U-shaped wire (112L) integrally incorporated into an underside of the brassiere left cup (16L). The first left U-shaped wire (112L) comprises a first left distal kidney shaped end piece (114LA) which is securely attached at a left distal end of the first left U-shaped wire (112L). A first left center kidney shaped end piece (114LC) is securely attached at a right distal end of the first left U-shaped wire (112L). A first right U-shaped wire (112R) is integrally incorporated into an underside of the brassiere right cup (16R). The first right U-shaped wire (112R) is composed of a first right distal kidney shaped end piece (114RA) securely attached at a right distal end of the first right U-shaped wire (112R). A first right center kidney shaped end piece (114RC) is securely attached at a left distal end of the first right U-shaped wire (112R), the first right center kidney shaped end piece (114RC). A second brassiere underwire stay (210) is integrally incorporated into a brassiere (16) which comprises a brassiere left cup (16L) and a brassiere right cup (16R). The second brassiere underwire stay (210) comprises a second left U-shaped wire (212L) integrally incorporated into an underside of the brassiere left cup (16L). The second left U-shaped wire (212L) comprises a second left distal kidney shaped end piece (214LA) securely attached at a left distal end of the second left U-shaped wire (212L). A second right U-shaped wire (212R) is integrally incorporated into an underside of the brassiere right cup (16R). The second right U-shaped wire (212R) comprises a second right distal kidney shaped end piece (214RA) securely attached at a right distal end of the second right U-shaped wire (212R). A second left center kidney a shaped end piece (214LC) is securely attached at a right distal end of the second left U-shaped wire (212L) and securely attached at a left distal end of the second right U-shaped wire (212R). A right brassiere underwire stay (110) which comprises a first left U-shaped wire (112L) having a first end and a second end. Attached to the first end is a flat kidney-shaped piece (114LA). Attached to the second end of the U-shaped wire (112L) is also a flat kidney shaped piece (114LC). The brassiere underwire stay (112L) are secured under the left breast cup (16L) of a brassiere (16). The flat kidney shaped end piece functions so as not to allow the underwire to poke through the weave of the brassiere fabric and thus preventing injury to the wearer and increasing the life of the garment.
