An adjustable brassiere includes a pair of cup parts, a base part supporting the cup parts, a back part, and straps. Each cup part has, on its back surface, an underbust adjustment pocket and a volume adjustment pocket. The base part is continuous with the cup parts and has a stretchable skin-side base part and a front-side base part that are layered. The front-side base part includes a wire insertion part that has substantially the same curve as a curve of a lower edge of the cup part on a front surface. The skin-side base part and the front-side base part are fixed to each other at the front center tops, side edges, and a lower end, and the cup lower edge of the skin-side base part and the wire insertion part of the front-side base part are not fixed to each other, except for both ends thereof.

Articles, such as garments, including films comprising dried aqueous polyurethane dispersions are disclosed, whereby the garment has an altered stress which is exhibited during wear of the garment and/or has one or more sections of waterproof or water-resilient fabric. The film may be bonded to the fabric of the article to provide a fabric or film laminate.

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 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.

An article of clothing is disclosed. The article of clothing a front panel. The front panel comprises an inner fabric layer; an outer fabric layer having a first portion and a second portion; and a thermoplastic strip. The first portion of the outer fabric layer is secured with the inner fabric layer. The second portion of the outer fabric layer supports the thermoplastic strip therewith. The back panel is attached to the front panel.
