Abstract: A supporting wire (10) for a breast covering garment (20), comprising: a first section (8); and a second section (9) pivotally connected to the first section (8) at a distal end (11) of the first and second sections (8, 9) such that the wire (10) is movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position by pivoting the first section (8) relative to the second section (9); wherein the first and second sections (8, 9) each have a cut-out portion (14) located at the distal end (11); a first tab (16) projecting in a perpendicular direction from the first section (8) to be received in the cut-out portion (14) of the second section (9); and a second tab (16) projecting in a perpendicular direction from the second section (9) to be received in the cut-out portion (14) of the first section (8).
