Indeed. But aren't they called something else? I bet you five bucks whoever wrote that sign would not recognise the word 'underwire' for its correct meaning if she saw it written down. And this in spite of the fact that she probably does see it written down a dozen times a day.
It's right up there with 'advocado', 'medium strip' and -- my personal fave -- 'I pacifically told him not to do that!'

In fact, I think what we have here is an eggcorn!

The Squeeze always uses 'brought' instead of 'bought' and it drives me mad.
We call the local paper here the Centralian Advocado. Gives it a Latin American ring, I guess.
Red polka dots, purple lace, poison-green check and rhinestones
Not all in the same garment I hope!!
