ABSTRACT:
A thermally-insulative, breast-supportive undergarment comprising an anterior fabric portion, a posterior fabric portion, and an elastic band member is disclosed. The anterior fabric portion and the posterior fabric portion each essentially comprise thermally-insulative material having latitudinally-oriented fabric elasticity. The anterior fabric portion and the posterior fabric portion are attached to one anther at seam sections to cooperatively form a neck-covering sleeve, a midriff-receiving aperture, and laterally opposed arm-receiving apertures. The elastic band member is cooperatively associated with the midriff-receiving aperture and inherently has bidirectional band elasticity. The bidirectional band elasticity is also latitudinally-oriented. The fabric elasticity and the band elasticity provide the undergarment with breast-supportive resilience; and the thermally-insulative material, the fabric elasticity, and the band elasticity together cooperate to provide a user with a thermally-insulative, breast-supportive undergarment. Optionally, the thermally-insulative, breast-supportive undergarment may comprise moisture-wicking lining structure, which lining structure also essentially comprises bidirectional, latitudinally-oriented liner elasticity.
