A brassiere includes: first and second connecting bands extending from cups to the left and right; a plurality of hooks provided on an end portion of the first connecting band; a plurality of stopping loops provided on an end portion of the second connecting band in multiple columns, the plurality of hooks being engaged with, or disengaged from, the plurality of loops; and a resilient band provided between the first and second connecting bands, wherein the end portion of the second connecting band includes: a stationary band portion on which, among the plurality of stopping loops, stationary stopping loops, the positions of which are fixed, are arranged; and a mobile band portion on which, among the plurality of stopping loops, mobile stopping loops, the positions of which are movable, are arranged, wherein the mobile band portion can resiliently move toward or away from the stationary band portion.

This invention relates to undergarments for use in active environments, where the wearer of such an undergarment is engaged in an activity that results in accelerating movements. In some preferred embodiments, these undergarments may be athletic or sports bras that redirect momentum related to a wearer's accelerating movements, for example, during exercise.

A breast cup for a support garment is provided. The breast cup includes a support cup portion, a first gusset extending between an upper-lateral quadrant and a lower-lateral quadrant of the support cup portion, and a second gusset extending between an upper-medial quadrant and a lower-medial quadrant of the support cup portion. The first and second gussets may both comprise a lower modulus of elasticity than the support cup portion and may be configured to expand from a first configuration to a second configuration. When integrated into a support garment, the breast cup may be coupled to an under band portion via a lower gusset that is configured to expand from a first configuration to a second configuration. When worn, the first and second gussets and the lower gusset facilitate a comfortable and supportive fit as the shape of a wearer's breast changes due to adjustments in tension.

Aspects herein are directed to a support garment having a single strap adjustment mechanism. A first end of the strap is adjustably secured to an upper margin of a first breast contacting surface, and a second end of the strap is adjustably secured to an upper margin of a second breast contacting surface. An intervening portion of the strap is configured such that as the strap extends from its first end, it crosses diagonally downward to a first aperture located on a wing portion of the support garment through which it passes. It then crosses horizontally to pass through a second aperture located on another wing portion of the support garment. It then crosses diagonally upward where it terminates at its second end.

A shoulder strap for a women's bra, as well as the associated women's bra, where the shoulder strap includes a first section having a width, a second section having a width, and a ring, where the first section and the second section are attached to the ring, where the width of the first section proximal to the ring is approximately the same as the width of the second section, and where the width of the first section increases to a width larger than the width of the second section distal from the ring.

A system for shaping a body part. The system includes a chamber with a resilient sidewall, which is snuggly located against the body part. A wirelessly operated pump connected to the chamber for varying an amount of a fluid located in the chamber. The pump has a signal receiver connected to it. A signal transmitter that is in wirelessly connected to the pump. The transmitter is electronically connected a body part shape database. The database and the transmitter are configured to wirelessly transmit a signal to the pump, when a user selects a desired body part shape from the database. This activates the pump so as to vary the amount of the fluid in the chamber and so achieves the desired body part shape.

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.

A leotard having a built-in bra is disclosed. The leotard include a front panel and a back panel. A built-in bra is attached to the front panel of the leotard. A top back strap is attached to the bra at one end, the other end able to receive a fastener disposed on the bra. A bottom back strap is attached to the bra at one end, the other end able to receive a fastener disposed on the bra.

Disclosed herein are padded triangle assemblies for upper body garments that can be widened or narrowed to adjust coverage level. Each triangle assembly includes a pad underneath a layer of outer fabric. An upper region of the pad is attached to an upper region of the outer fabric. The pad has a thin lower flange that is attached to a lower region of the outer fabric. The lower region of the outer fabric is wider than the lower flange of the pad. In a narrowed configuration, the left and right sides of the lower region of the outer fabric are positioned close to the left and right sides of the lower flange of the pad. In a widened configuration, the left and right sides of the lower region of the outer fabric are positioned farther from the left and right sides of the lower flange of the pad.

The present device is a device for creating breast lift and enhancement. It attaches to the front of the left and right bra straps and pulls them closer together. The device can have an adjustable length and also be designed to have the appearance of jewelry or any other decorative material to give it an esthetic quality, along with the functional aspect.
