ABSTRACT:
A bra having a pair of cups having adjacent but spaced inner edges is provided with a front closure/adjuster that has respective flexible cords attached to the cup inner edges and each carrying a succession of spaced relatively hard pearls. A generally rigid body between the cups is formed with a pair of adjacent throughgoing passages through each of which a respective one of the pearl cords passes and along which the pearl cords can slide. Respective latch elements are each shiftable on the body relative to the respective passages between a freeing position generally clear of the respective passage and allowing the respective pearl cord to slide therein and a latching position engaging at least one pearl of the respective cord and preventing the respective pearl cord from sliding therein in at least one direction. Respective springs urge the latch elements into the respective latching positions.
