The invention is directed to a flat knit bra comprising two cups (1a, 1b), each cup provided with a neckline zone (2a, 2b), two power slings (4a, 4b) and two wing zones (5a, 5b) and a band (6) having a first and second end (6a, 6b). The neckline zones (2a, 2b) may extend to the band (6) in an overlapping fashion. The power sling (4a, 4b) is comprised of a double layered knit material. The band (6) is branches from a common centre region (16) into more than one band zones (7,8,9,10). One band zone (7,8) extends to the ends (6a, 6b) of the band (6) and at least one other band zone (9,10) extends into each of the wings (5a, 5b).

A non-gender specific article of clothing worn on the upper body of a human that is reversible, comprised in part of eco-friendly material, and has hidden compartments designed for the secure storage of medical devices or personal items. The article is comprised of two layers of partially recycled fabric that are affixed in a manner that allows either side of the garment to be worn facing outward or in direct contact with the body. The layers are affixed at specific attachment points and by seams that create portions in between the layers that may be accessed from any location across the top perimeter edges of the garment including the neckline and armholes. The portions are engineered to limit movement of items stowed as well as permit transfer of items from one portion to another without removing the items from the article of clothing.

A brassiere includes a fabric panel including a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer. The first fabric layer includes a first material having a first modulus of elasticity and a second material having a second modulus of elasticity. The first modulus of elasticity is greater than the second modulus of elasticity. An auxetic structure is formed by the first material on the first fabric layer, the auxetic structure comprising a pattern of reentrant shapes. The second fabric layer is coupled to the first fabric layer along a perimeter portion of the fabric panel. The second fabric layer free-floating relative to the first fabric layer at a central body portion located within the perimeter portion of the fabric panel.

An athletic bra includes a support panel shaped to include first and second cups. Grooves are formed into the panel to provide areas of increase flexure and/or stretch. A textile layer can be secured to the support panel.

An athletic bra includes a front portion and a rear portion, where the front portion includes a plurality of sections that form regions having different degrees of elasticity. The sections of the front portion are oriented such that a gradient in elasticity is imparted along the front portion between the plurality of sections.

The invention comprises a bra with variable tension cups and non-slip straps. The inner edges of the cups diverge from the center of the breasts near the torso band towards the shoulders and are connected using an appropriate fastener such as a zipper. Adjusting the position of the diverging zipper increases or decreases the tension on the breasts. Positioning the zipper at its lowest also aids in the ease of putting on or taking off the bra. The invention also comprises adjustable back straps of which each are secured in three places that support the variable tension of the cups and eliminate shoulder straps from slipping off the wearer's shoulders.

An impact resistant unitary brassiere includes a first fabric layer coupled to a second fabric layer and an impact force absorbing pad embedded between the fabric layers. The pad rests in use over a wearer's bony regions. The bony regions may include a clavicle, a thoracic vertebra, or both. The bra may be worn daily by itself or under a shirt to support the clavicle and thoracic spinal and to prevent injuries during any type of physical activity such as may be caused by barbell impact.

An upper-torso garment includes a chest-covering portion having a knit textile region, which includes a plurality of courses fully spanning a dome-shaped portion. In addition, the knit textile region includes a plurality of partial-length courses partially spanning the dome-shaped portion.

A double-sided wear two-color bra comprises a bra cloth. A pair of sponge pad filling cavities are symmetrically arranged an inside the bra cloth, and an inside of the two sponge pad filling cavities is movably filled with a sponge pad respectively; a pair of lingerie straps are seamlessly connected to an upper part of the bra cloth; the upper part of the bra cloth is located between the two lingerie straps, and a neckline is also arranged between the two lingerie straps; a color of an outside and an inside of the bra cloth is different; and a sponge pad filling cavities is a closed space. The present disclosure adopts a double-sided hot-pressing compound seamless connection as a whole, without the stitches of a traditional bra, so the outside and inside sides of the bra can be worn.

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.
