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.

The undergarment may include a multi-panel front construction in order to minimize the prominence of breast buds, nipples, and even mature breast tissue without sports bra-like compression. The garments are uniquely designed to maximize comfort with their super-soft external material and to maximize self-esteem with their unique inner front panel. The interior front panel is constructed from a different material than the external layers.

A support garment includes a support band extending laterally around the wearer's torso and two cups. Each cup includes a form-fitting enclosure and a cantilevered support form secured to the support band. Each support form has a first and second lateral appendage; a first and second fulcrum; and a medial support structure. The first fulcrum joins an inferior end of the first lateral appendage with a first end of the medial support structure and the second fulcrum joins an inferior end of the second lateral appendage with the second end of the medial support structure. The weight of the breast is transferred by rotational force around each fulcrum through each lateral appendage to the support band across the back of the wearer by way of tension.

A knit garment having a knit technical wire is disclosed herein. The knit technical wire has two interwoven knit layers, such that they form an exterior or outward surface and an interior or body-facing surface. In between the exterior and interior surfaces and are at least one strand of yarn. The yarn may be a TPU yarn. The knit technical wire is used instead of a conventional underwire. The garment may be a woman's bra or dress that may conventionally be made with an underwire.

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.

Described herein is a breast support garment and methods of use thereof. The garment can be used by a wearer with a small band size and a fuller bust and may be worn during leisure or sleep. The garment contains a sleep stay attached to an inside surface of the front section of the garment (e.g., within each cup) that can be stretched to enwrap the inner curve of a wearer's breast, thereby providing stabilization, physical separation, and/or vertical and/or horizontal support for the wearer's breast (e.g., to counter the pull of gravity on the breasts when a wearer is reclining or sleeping, e.g., side-sleeping, and/or to reduce the movement of the breasts when a wearer is changing positions or carrying out daily activities (e.g., walking)).

A knit garment having a knit technical wire is disclosed herein. The knit technical wire has two interwoven knit layers, such that they form an exterior or outward surface and an interior or body-facing surface.

The garment may be a woman's bra or dress that may conventionally be made with an underwire.

The present disclosure relates to support members for brassieres and other clothing. The support member may be manufactured by additive manufacturing, subtractive manufacturing methods, and injection molding, among others. The support member may include a thickness gradient devised to support a breast or other part of the anatomy. The support member may be customized to the anatomy of a particular user. The support member may include one or more biometric sensors.

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.

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.
