DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] While this garment is invariable in its nature and essence that of being a garment with no broadband elastic and containing one or more pockets and a loop to offer the mastectomy patient, or other, options of wearing lightweight breast mound prosthetics in a comfortable fashion, this said garment invention and all its components is able to take on different shapes and sizes in order to properly accommodate any and all individuals wearing this garment present invention. This garment present invention includes a front layer of the garment, a middle section of the garment which may consist of one or more layers and a loop, a breast prosthetic or breast prostheses which are separate and optional, and a back layer of the garment unless it is a backless design of one representation of the garment present invention. One representation of various styles of the garment present invention 5 is illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. The front layer 10 of the garment present invention can be of any style of garment. The middle components of the garment can include the loop 25 a single middle layer 30 or more middle layers. The said components are attached to each other thus creating one or more pockets intended to house and hold a single length of bilateral breast mound prostheses 15 or separate breast mound prostheses 40. When a middle section of the garment is sewn vertically down the center of the said middle section it creates two pockets to accept two separate breast mound prostheses 40. When the middle section has no stitching vertically down the center but has a loop within the middle section this representation creates the pocket with loop intended to house and hold the single length of bilateral breast mound prostheses 15. The front layer 10, the loop 25, the middle layer 30 and the back layer 35 are all attached to each other to create one representation of the garment present invention 5. While a full and complete description of the garment present invention 5 has been announced in accordance with the patent statues it should be acknowledged that modifications can be made to any part of the garment present invention 5 without deviating from the essence and spirit of the claims.
