Apparatus are described herein for providing a garment (e.g. a bra) that can be used by a wearer during extraction of breast milk using a breast pump, and/or during breast feeding. In some embodiments, a garment can include a support strap having an adjustable portion, a shoulder strap, and a back panel. The support strap can be coupled to the shoulder strap via an engagement mechanism. The adjustable portion of the support strap can be configured to be adjusted relative to the engagement mechanism to change a length of the support strap between the engagement mechanism and the back panel so that the support strap can be disposed over a flange of a breast pump to hold the flange against the breast of a user. An outer panel can be coupled to the back panel and the engagement mechanism. In another embodiment, an inner panel can be removably coupled to the inner panel and the engagement mechanism.

The invention relates to a brassiere 40 customized for a user comprising two cups 41, 42 for each receiving a breast of the user, each cup 41, 42 being made of an elastic material, characterized in that each cup 41 42 is detachable and in that the brassiere comprises for each cup 41, 42 an element 26 for fitting the cup to the shape of the breast in the form of a curved rod 20 produced according to the measurements of the user said curved rod being designed to contour the entire length of the shape of the inflammatory fold of the user, and extending from the vicinity of the sternum of the user to the vicinity of the armpit of the user such that said curved rod 20 stretches the cup 41, 42 in such a way that it moulds the shape of the breast.

A sports garment includes a cup portion that receives and conforms to a user's breasts, a base portion disposed along a bottom edge of the cup portion, a first strap portion disposed along a first side edge of the base portion, and a second strap portion disposed along a second side edge of the base portion. The first and second strap portions each include a shoulder strap that may be removably coupled to the cup portion to adjust the tension of the sports garment and a side strap that may be removably coupled to a front surface of the base portion to adjust the tension of the sports garment. The first and second side straps may flex between an open position and a wrapped position.

The present invention relates to a volume-adjustable compensation brassiere that is configured such that a user can conveniently adjust the brassiere to a desired volume. The volume-adjustable compensation brassiere includes: a pair of bra cups formed by arc-shaped lines in a form surrounding the overall protruding breasts; and a wearing band configured to connect the bra cups, to be worn around the chest, and to be fastened at both ends thereof through hook-eye fastening. A plurality of first coupling means is formed on the front of each of the bra cups, and compensation covers are each teamed in a shape covering the overall front of a corresponding one of the bra cups and are each provided with second coupling means configured to be coupled with the first coupling means.

A wireless brassiere with built-in shaping, lifting, and support system and methods includes, for example, a support band, an exterior support layer having lower edge portions connected to the support band and also having portions defining two cup-like shapes, an interior support layer having portions defining two breast cups and configured to be positioned between a front portion of the exterior support layer and the front of the torso of a wearer and also having lower edge portions connected to the support band. Interior support layer shoulder straps having adjustable lengths extend between the interior support layer and the rear portion of the exterior support layer, and the interior support layer and interior support layer shoulder straps are independently moveable relative to the exterior support layer.

Two separate breast cups are connectable by a front fastener. A separate back band is connectable at its respective opposing ends to the outer side edges of the two breast cups. Two separate strap arrangements are connectable to the two breast cups and the back band.

This invention provides a women's lingerie that visually reduces the size of the busts, comprising shoulder straps, wings and two symmetrically arranged cups. The upper edge of an individual cup and the upper edge of a respective wing are connected by a respective shoulder strap. The lower edge of the individual cup is provided with darts. The shape of the darts is set corresponding to the pulling force of the shoulder strap. The individual cup bulges toward the side away from the body to form a bust accommodation space on the side close to the body. The bust accommodation space has a semi-ellipsoidal lower space and a semi-ellipsoidal upper space. The eccentricity of the lower space is smaller than that of the upper space. The maximum width of the lower space is larger than that of the upper space. The volume of the lower space is greater than that of the upper space. The women's lingerie of this invention has the advantages of visual reduction of the size of the busts, lightness, air permeability, and good supporting capacity.

A bra cup for a brassiere to be worn by a wearer is disclosed. The bra cup comprises a core layer. The core layer has an inner side and an outer side. A plurality of apertures are formed in the core layer. In one example, one or more of the plurality of apertures have a truncated conical cross-section with a relatively larger diameter towards the inner side and a relatively smaller diameter towards the outer side. In another example, the plurality of apertures comprises a plurality of elongated apertures formed in a frontal area of the bra cup and a plurality of circular apertures formed in a lateral area of the bra cup. The plurality of elongated apertures have a dumbbell shape. In yet another example, the bra cup comprises a plurality of protrusions defined in the core layer towards the inner side thereof.

A modular brassiere that serves as both a modesty garment and an easily-donned support garment. The modular bra includes an elongated support band that is preferably made of elastic material. Hook-and-loop type of engaging panels are used to secure the band around the user's chest. A separate strap assembly may be added to transfer load to one or more of the user's shoulders. The support band includes a proximal end and a distal end. A pocket is preferably included, proximate the distal end. The user can place one or more fingers into this pocket to assist in donning the device. A grip panel is preferably included as well. The grip panel includes a strap loop which the user can employ to also assist in donning the device.

A wireless brassiere with built-in shaping, lifting, and support system and methods includes, for example, a support band, an exterior support layer having lower edge portions connected to the support band and also having portions defining two cup-like shapes, an interior support layer having portions defining two breast cups and configured to be positioned between a front portion of the exterior support layer and the front of the torso of a wearer and also having lower edge portions connected to the support band. Interior support layer shoulder straps having adjustable lengths extend between the interior support layer and the rear portion of the exterior support layer, and the interior support layer and interior support layer shoulder straps are independently moveable relative to the exterior support layer.
