The U-Bra Breast Pillow is a strapless women's undergarment that fits around the breast area, fastens in the back, and has a unique memory foam pillow attachment in the front which tucks under large breasts to provide a natural lift. The front center gathering provides comfortable breast separation, adornment, and style. It is a complete breast covering bandeau with an attached under-breast memory foam technology that lifts the breasts and contours the chest without straps, underwire, or buckles. The U-Bra Breast Pillow system aims to contribute positive effects on the back, neck, and shoulder areas by relieving top-heavy tension, defying gravity with frontal support and alleviating tight, downward pulling strap marks from the shoulders that often causes discomfort for individuals with a large, well-endowed chest area. It elevates unsightly sagging breasts, promotes fullness, and provides a sense of freedom and confidence for a fuller, more voluptuous appearance.

New body supporting and enhancing garment techniques are provided. In some embodiments, new types of bras and other garments are provided, along with new sizing systems for fitting them to person's bodies. For example, a new form of bra having a reversible front fastener and a plurality of back bands provided in an under/over configuration, directly abutting one another, and having no gap, or substantially no gap between them. In other embodiments, shoulder straps are provided with location-variable, reversible attachment ends, having reversible fasteners, which engage with the back of a main body of the bra at a plurality of possible attachment positions.

An adjustable bra and method of adjusting the same are provided. The adjustable bra includes a bra garment with a plurality of garment adjusters. Each garment adjuster is configured to adjust at least one adjustable bra feature relating to at least one of the fit or support of the bra garment. The adjustable bra also includes an adjustment mechanism configured with a plurality of adjustment positions. The adjustment mechanism is movable between a plurality of positions corresponding to the garment adjuster position of each garment feature and the adjustment mechanism also includes a singular adjustment point configured to move the garment adjusters between different positions. A corresponding method of adjusting the adjustable bra is also provided.

Disclosed embodiments include an upper body shaper garment for women. The garment contours the breasts and other aspects of the chest area into a fashionable form by delivering distinct amount of compression force at select areas of the garment. In various embodiments, the shaper garment includes a support area covering the breasts and a shaping area including one or more compression zones for moving the support area to enhance the appearance of the wearer. The shaper garment may be knitted from one continuous piece of fabric with the compression areas knitted directly into the base layer. The shaper garment may also include one or more transition zones between the areas and/or zones of the garment to smoothly transition between different areas and/or zones.

Aspects herein provide for a support garment having a vibration damping structure that is positioned between the breast contacting surfaces of the support garment. The vibration damping structure has a shape and/or material characteristics that enable it to substantially fill the space defined by a medial aspect of the wearer's breasts and the wearer's sternum. This positioning and placement facilitate the damping structure's ability to absorb and dissipate impact forces generated at least through the medial-to-lateral movement of the wearer's breasts during, for example, athletic activities.

A bra or a garment, and an associated method of construction, where the bra or garment includes a first front panel configured to support a user's breast, a first pair of straps integrally formed and extending from the first front panel, the first front panel and first pair of straps formed from a unitary tube of an elastomeric or mechanical stretch material, where the first front panel is capable of stretching to an extended position when the bra or garment is worn by the user.

A nursing bra includes a cover body and a partition layer. The cover body has an elastic outer layer and an elastic inner layer, an upper side of the outer layer is connected with an upper side of the inner layer, a lower side of the outer layer is connected with a lower side of the inner layer, an outer side of the inner layer is disposed at an inner side of the outer layer. The partition layer is disposed at an outer side of the outer layer and detachably connected with the cover body. When the partition layer is detached from the cover body, the outer layer and the inner layer are able to stagger from each other so as to form a feeding access to expose a breast of a user.

The disclosed garments are designed to address the need for athletic upper body garments that do not create or highlight bulging in the wearer's body. These garments comprise an advantageous bottom edge that is defined by a fold crease rather than an elastic band. Methods of making the garments are also disclosed herein.

Aspects herein are directed to a support structure for a breast-covering portion of a support garment. The support structure includes a plurality of discrete cable structures. At least a portion of the discrete cable structures have a first shape configuration in an un-tensioned state and a second shape configuration in a tensioned state.

Various implementations include a bounce-limiting upper body garment, such as a brassiere (or bra), and methods of making the same. The bounce-limiting garment prevents breast tissue of a wearer from moving upwardly and side to side, which prevents bouncing of the breast tissue. The upward movement of the breast tissue is prevented by applying pressure by the garment on or just above the upper breast tissue, and the side to side movement of the breast tissue is prevented by applying pressure by the garment along lateral sides of the breasts.
