A garment may be summarized as including: at least one non-toxic elastomeric sheet, at least one non-toxic textile sheet, and stitches that physically couple the non-toxic elastomeric sheet(s) with the non-toxic textile sheet(s). The garment may exclude all metals and toxic materials. The garment may be a foundation garment, for example a brassiere. In a brassiere the non-toxic elastomeric sheet(s) and the non-toxic textile sheet(s) form a front bust portion and a band, the front bust portion which includes at least one panel sized and dimensioned to retain a pair of breasts when the brassiere is worn, and the band which physically couples opposed laterally spaced apart ends of the front bust portion together when the brassiere is worn. The brassiere can have distinct cups, or may not have distinct cups, for instance a sports bra style. The garment can hold, or include, a prosthetic.

A brassiere configured for operation by wearers of limited dexterity, such as those with limited use of fingers, hands, wrists, arms, and/or shoulders. The brassiere may include a shoulder support element which may provide support to the wearer's torso and breasts without requiring strain to be placed on both hands, wrists, arms, and shoulders when fastening the brassiere.

A binder for compressing the breasts of a wearer binder providing for a front panel formed by a single ply of a first woven textile and a rear panel connectively engaged to the front panel to form a garment. The rear panel is formed from a single ply of a second woven textile. The garment encircles the torso and overwraps the breasts of the wearer allowing the front panel to comfortably compress the breasts of the wearer.

A breast support has a support body with an upper support portion and a sternum portion, as well as a pair of breast supports. The upper support portion is connected above the sternum portion, and the breast supports are connected to the sides of the sternum portion. An adhesive layer on a rear side of the support body allows the support body to be affixed to a user's chest. The upper support portion has two lateral support portions, each with a plurality of ridges for enhanced support.

A utility bra includes a right strap, a left strap, a right cup coupled with the right strap, a left cup coupled with the left strap, a center panel coupled with the right cup and the left cup, and a strap securing mechanism having an inner securing layer and an outer securing layer. The inner securing layer includes an inner gripping element and the outer securing layer includes an outer gripping element. The inner gripping element and the outer gripping element face toward one another, for example when the utility bra is worn by a user. The strap securing mechanism is coupled with the right strap or the left strap. The inner gripping element and the outer gripping element operate to grip the a personal item between the inner securing layer and the outer securing layer.

A brassiere and method of making including a front portion configured to receive the breasts of the wearer and a back panel including a first lateral side affixed to the front portion and a second lateral side affixed to the front portion. The back panel includes an inner fabric layer configured to contact the wearer's skin, an outer fabric layer opposing the inner fabric layer, and reinforcing panels positioned between the inner fabric layer and the outer fabric layer. A first reinforcing panel extends from the first lateral side, a second reinforcing panel extends from a second lateral side and a third reinforcing panel extends between, but not in contact with, the first and second reinforcing panels.

A bra for measuring a physiological signal from a body of a user wearing the bra comprises first and second front portions, or bra cups portions. The bra also comprises first and second side wings, wherein the first side wing is coupled with the first front portion and the second side wing is coupled with the second front portion. In addition the bra comprises a measuring device and/or at least two electrodes, where the measuring device or at least one electrode is arranged to a module, and the module forms at least a basis of the first side wing of the bra or even the first side wing of the bra as its entirety.

Substrates with transparency to infrared body radiation and opacity in the visible light spectrum are provided and systems and methods for creation thereof are provided. The IR radiation transparent substrate is IR radiation transparent and visible light opaque with enough breathability and softness to make it suitable for use in garments for body thermal regulation. Further, the IR radiation transparent substrate is created utilizing nanofiber technology to form specific sized micro pores between the nanofibers.
