Thus, discomfort due to sweltering and sweating can be avoided. Moreover, the breast support is stably mounted on a chest of the wearer and holds lower portions of the two breasts. Therefore, the breast support does not fall from the wearer due to the loss of stickiness. Accordingly, the breast support is able to push the breasts upward and inward and prevents the breasts from expansion and sagging.
