A brassiere includes bra cups holding a wearer's breasts. A shaping foam layer is sandwiched between outer and inner layers of each bra cup and extends from a lower to an upper edge of each cup. A support shelf assembly spans across a lower portion of each bra cup and includes a support component located proximate the lower edge of the cups, a non-stretch stabilizer fabric layer spanning between both cups and along a full length of the support component, and a supportive foam layer spanning between both cups and along the support component. The inner, outer, shaping foam, stabilizer fabric, and supportive foam layers span across a center gore that connects the bra cups to form a front panel of the brassiere. The support shelf assembly is molded between the inner layer and the shaping foam layer and is an embedded, integral part of the front panel.

The present invention provides a bra cup structure, which includes: two cup sections, each of which comprises: a cup body, which has an outside surface and an inside surface, the cup body including a C-shaped padding section, the C-shaped padding section having a thickness that is gradually increased from an edge of the C-shaped padding section toward a central portion so that the inside surface shows a raised C-shaped area; an outer covering layer, which is set on and covers the outside surface of the cup body; and an inner lining layer, which is set on and covers the inside surface of the cup body, the inner lining layer having a skin contact surface. The C-shaped padding section helps push inwardly the breasts for concentrating toward the middle and pushing up the breasts.

A breast supporting garment such as a shirt, bra or similar garment has a body section having a front bust section for supporting a woman's breasts. A band of elastic material is provided under the bust section for shape and support. Another band of elastic material is provided around the bottom of the garment and helps keep it from riding up. The bust section of the garment should be formed from two layers of fabric adhered with elastomeric adhesive. The fabric should be free cut knit fabric having a high level of spandex. The bra will be lightweight and free feeling, as if it is not there.

The present invention provides a brassiere having excellent fitting properties, allowing a greater number of wearers to obtain a sufficient fit for their breasts. The brassiere has a cup part for covering the wearer's breasts. The cup part includes an inner cup provided inside the cup part. The inner cup has an upper side portion. The upper side portion has a wave-shaped structure.

An intelligent bra includes a main body and a gas-collecting actuating device. The main body comprising a supporting base, a cup set and two fixing elements. The cup set includes an outer layer, an inner layer and an air bag layer. The air bag layer includes an airflow channel, wherein a connection end of the airflow channel protrudes out from the cup set. The gas-collecting actuating device connects to the connection end and comprises a gas conveyor, a control module and a pressure sensor. The gas conveyor transports gas to the air bag layer to adjust the inner pressure. The control module controls the operation of the gas conveyor and a threshold setting mode of the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor detects the inner pressure of the air bag layer, so as to monitor and notify the control module to control the operation of the gas conveyor.

A brassiere and associated method of manufacture is presented. A graticulate support member is producible by additive printing. The graticulate support member may be positioned between each of a first cup cover and a second cup cover of the brassiere. The graticulate support member may include a thickness gradient devised to maintain rigidity of the formed cup from a maximum thickness medially centered at a first edge of the graticulate support member towards a minimum thickness realized at the extremity of a second edge.

A brassiere includes bra cups holding a wearer's breasts. A shaping foam layer is sandwiched between outer and inner layers of each bra cup and extends from a lower to an upper edge of each cup. A support shelf assembly spans across a lower portion of each bra cup and includes a support component located proximate the lower edge of the cups, a non-stretch stabilizer fabric layer spanning between both cups and along a full length of the support component, and a supportive foam layer spanning between both cups and along the support component. The inner, outer, shaping foam, stabilizer fabric, and supportive foam layers span across a center gore that connects the bra cups to form a front panel of the brassiere. The support shelf assembly is molded between the inner layer and the shaping foam layer and is an embedded, integral part of the front panel.

Bra liner including a substantially planar body including a left triangular portion, a right triangular portion and a central portion between the left and right triangular portions. The central portion includes a flap separated from the left and right triangular portions and optionally one or more apertures. The left and right triangular portions also optionally include one or more apertures. The flap is foldable about a center line of the body. The body includes absorbent material. To form the left and right triangular portions, an elongate slit is present between the central portion and each of the left and right triangular portions. The slits extend downward from an upper edge of the body and inward toward the center line.
