A brassiere to be worn by a wearer is disclosed. The brassiere includes a pair of bra cups. The brassiere also includes at least one side wing attached to lateral peripheries of the pair of bra cups to support the brassiere around a torso of the wearer, when worn. The brassiere further includes a pair of straps attached to top peripheries of the pair of bra cups to support the brassiere on shoulders of the wearer, when worn. Herein, at least one of the at least one side wing and the pair of straps comprise one or more flat-knit fabric layers.

A brassiere formed of an inner garment base, memory foam, a pair of under supports, and an outer fabric cover. The under support is rigid and has varying width and differing radii to accommodate the bottom portion shape of a natural breast or a breast implant, which is not a perfect semi-circle. The under support is positioned such that the foam encapsulates the under support keeping the proximal edge in proximity with bottom portion of the breast tissues or implant and the ribs. The under support has its largest width, thereby the largest contact surface with the implant or breast tissues, closest to the lateral end causing the breast tissues or implant to be supported upward and medially. The under support has openings or anchors extending thereform with openings to allow the foam to surround and go through the under support to secure it in place in the brassiere.

The present invention provides a garment comprising a soft, knit tank top with a built-in, floating bra. The bra cups and front bridge are constructed with the same fabric as the tank top. Bra cups connect to the tank top partially along front neckline and are double-layered to provide space for removable and inter-changeable sized inserts for different levels of coverage. A floating back panel is made with a single-layer of compression fabric to provide tension support and anchor the front. The straps of the tank top are double-layered shell fabric and connect at a top of the shoulder to wide, flat-lock stitched vertical back bra straps made with compression fabric. This tank top with built-in bra support is a bra replacement worn as a stand-alone top garment or a layering piece underneath outer layers.

The present invention relates to a nudity support bra that lifts the breasts of the wearer from the bottom and supports breasts from the sides without covering the breasts. The bra has a pair of C-shaped cups, each having a bottom edge that pushes the breast upwards, and a side edge that pushes the breast inwards. A separate halter neck strap is attached to the side edge of the C-shaped cups and is secured behind the neck of a user, in addition to a back strap having a clasp for securing around the back of the user. The innovation also includes a strapless and a sports wear design. The cups further support and shape the sides of the breasts from the undersides without covering the breasts, thereby allowing revealing clothing to function as designed, enabling women to nurse without removing their bra or a portion of their bra and supporting modern medical procedures of the breast.

A bra comprising a first cup and a second cup, each of the first and second cups having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface facing a wearer's skin when worn, and each of the first and second cups having an upper edge and a lower edge, a plurality of tabs provided on the inner surface of the first and second cups, each of the tabs being configured for connecting at least one fastener portion thereto. The plurality of tabs include one or more lower tabs formed along the lower edge of the first cup and one or more lower tabs formed along the lower edge of the second cup.

The invention comprises a device and method for converting a standard bra into a nursing bra. The device comprises an upper assembly having an upper fastener attached to a first portion of a quick release fastener, the upper fastener being configured for securely gripping a severed shoulder strap; a lower assembly comprising a lower fastener attached to a second portion of the quick release fastener, the lower fastener being configured for securely gripping a severed breast cup strap; and optionally including a sling strap having a top end and a bottom end, wherein the sling strap top end is attached to the upper assembly and wherein the sling strap bottom end is attached to a band fastener which is configured for securely gripping a bra torso band; wherein the quick release fastener first and second portions can be selectively coupled and uncoupled.

An intelligent bra includes a main body and a gas-collecting actuating device. The main body comprising a supporting base, a cup set and two fixing elements. The cup set includes an outer layer, an inner layer and an air bag layer. The air bag layer includes an airflow channel, wherein a connection end of the airflow channel protrudes out from the cup set. The gas-collecting actuating device connects to the connection end and comprises a gas conveyor, a control module and a pressure sensor. The gas conveyor transports gas to the air bag layer to adjust the inner pressure. The control module controls the operation of the gas conveyor and a threshold setting mode of the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor detects the inner pressure of the air bag layer, so as to monitor and notify the control module to control the operation of the gas conveyor.

A bra includes an adjustable body strap that has a rear portion with first and second coupling features disposed on a single side thereof, and first and second support straps that are respectively coupled at one end to the rear portion of the body strap. Each of the first and second support straps includes a fastening material, first and second fabric materials, and a flexibly resilient material. The first fabric, the flexibly resilient material, the second fabric, and the fastening material are integrally formed to define a laminated support strap of each of the first and second support straps.

Systems and apparatus related to adaptive support garments including adaptive support structures, lacing systems, and an adaptive engine are discussed. In an example, an adaptive support garment includes a support structure, a plurality of lace guides, a lace cable, and an adaptive engine. The support structure is configured to wrap around a portion of anatomy of a wearer and apply a compression on the portion of anatomy. The plurality of lace guides are disposed on the support structure. The lace cable extends through the lace guides to form a lacing pattern over a lacing region of the support structure. The adaptive engine is coupled to the support structure and engages with the lace cable. The adaptive engine is also configured to increase or decrease tension on the lace cable to increase or decrease compression of the support structure on the portion of anatomy, respectively.

The present disclosure generally relates to a cradle structure (200) for forming a garment cup in a garment. The cradle structure (200) comprises: a fabric layer (210) comprising a cradle centre region (212) and a cradle peripheral region (214) surrounding the cradle centre region (212); a polymer peripheral layer (220) formed on the cradle peripheral region (214) for stiffening the cradle peripheral region (214) to enhance support of a user's breast wearing the garment cup; and a polymer band layer (230) joined to the cradle peripheral region (214) below the cradle centre region (212) for elasticizing the cradle structure (200) to fit the garment on the user, wherein the cradle structure (200) is shaped to volumize the cradle centre region (212) and accommodate different shapes (240) of the garment cup.
