An adjustable shapewear garment and methods for constructing an adjustable shapewear garment. The garment can be a real-time adjustable garment including a first adjustable region, a second adjustable region, a third adjustable region, an adjustment system, and an attachment system. The adjustment system can be disposed on the first, second and third adjustment regions, and the attachment system can be disposed on the first and third adjustable regions.

Described herein is a breast support garment and methods of use thereof. The garment can be used by a wearer with a small band size and a fuller bust and may be worn during leisure or sleep. The garment contains a sleep stay attached to an inside surface of the front section of the garment (e.g., within each cup) that can be stretched to enwrap the inner curve of a wearer's breast, thereby providing stabilization, physical separation, and/or vertical and/or horizontal support for the wearer's breast (e.g., to counter the pull of gravity on the breasts when a wearer is reclining or sleeping, e.g., side-sleeping, and/or to reduce the movement of the breasts when a wearer is changing positions or carrying out daily activities (e.g., walking)).

A bra including respective first and second sides each adapted to fit respective breasts; each side including a cup adapted to fit a predetermined cup size; a hook free shoulder strap; and an attachment strap capable of attaching the bra to a body in use, wherein the attachment strap includes a plurality of slots which can be engaged by a hook located at one end of the strap to thereby regulate the size of the bra for each user.

A bra is disclosed comprising a body portion and left and right adjustable shoulder straps. The body portion comprises a back panel, left and right front panels, an adjustable torso strap, and a releasable front closure. The left and right front panels comprise cups having an interior mesh lining over at least a portion of each cup. The mesh lining forms a pocket with each cup and has a coating comprising an antibacterial, antimicrobial agent. The adjustable torso strap comprises a back torso strap, left and right front torso straps, and left and right side torso straps. The left and right side torso straps have end portions that are removably attachable to left and right front torso straps. When attached to the left and right front torso straps, the left and right side torso straps and left and right front panels define left and right drainage ports.

Designing garments that include brassiere cups can be challenging due to the natural fluctuation of a woman's breast size, as well as a possible disconnect between the size of her breasts and the size of the rest of her body. The high range of size variability places pressure on stores to stock inventories that include great ranges of sizes. This places an inventory risk to the store, since rarer sizes may never sell. The disclosed garment addresses these issues by including a fit-adjustable brassiere portion. The cups of the fit-adjustable brassiere portion include fit-modifying panels that increase their flexibility and elasticity. The rear side of the fit-adjustable brassiere portion includes a back adjuster with highly elastic regions that enables the brassiere portion to fit a broader range of chest sizes. Each of these features give the garment a more universal fit and enable stores to carry fewer sizes.

Disclosed is a brassiere comprising: left and right bust sections, each comprising a top section and a bottom section; a rear member having a first end and a second end and configured to be adjustable in length to vary a distance between the first end and the second end; left and right shoulder straps connecting the top section of each of the left and right bust sections to the first end of the rear member; a chest band connecting the bottom section of each of the left and right bust sections to the second end of the rear member; and first and second adjustment mechanisms for adjusting a length of the chest band. The first and second adjustment mechanisms are positioned on respective first and second sides of the second end of the rear member. Also disclosed is a kit comprising a brassiere and a plurality of cup inserts.

Aspects herein are directed to a strap system having an adjustable stretch that is suitable for upper body garments, lower body garment, and articles such as bags, and articles of footwear. The strap system includes a pair of straps that are coupled together in a face sharing relationship by a coupling mechanism. One of the straps in the pair of straps has greater stretch properties than the other strap. A total stretch of the strap system is adjustable by moving the coupling mechanism along a length of the strap system.

A configurable bra provides additional support and comfort to accommodate a wide variation in breast shapes and weights. The variations can arise from factors such as: (i) asymmetry; (ii) mastectomy; (iii) period changes; (iv) maternity changes; (v) breast feeding; and (vi) orthopedic inputs (e.g., weight distribution, center of gravity change, volume shift, etc.). In one or more embodiments, adjustments for circumference and amount of vertical lifting of the breasts is provided to handle different women or changes that occur for the same woman.

A supportive undergarment configured to restrain movement of breast tissue in the superior direction is provided. The undergarment is configured to be used in conjunction with a conventional bra, especially an underwire-containing sports bra, without unnecessarily duplicating the support provided by the bra. The undergarment comprises a pair of supporting straps that are releasably anchored to the undergarment's lower circumscribing band via at least one anchor member. The supporting straps are configured to provide compression to the wearer's upper breast roots and arrest upward movement of the wearer's breasts.

The invention relates to an item of clothing having a modular structure, comprising at least one wrap-around band (14) as a first module, which has non-damaging fastening means (2) on one side and a detachable arrangement of at least one garment module (22) as at least one further module.
