ABSTRACT:
A pair of breast receiving cups are carried in spaced relationship by a body encircling portion of a brassiere. Clamp means are provided to position and maintain the brassiere in position on a person with their breasts disposed in the breast receiving cups. A pair of shoulder straps are carried by the brassiere to facilitate its disposition when worn. Each breast receiving cups includes a centrally disposed support portion that is sized and configured to be wider at a position thereof beneath the wearer's breast and which extends therefrom tapering inwardly, passing over the wearer's nipple to a relatively narrow end connected to the bra strap above what would otherwise be an upper periphery of the breast cup. Each support portion includes a substantially 1/16 inch thick foam piece covered by a piece of material with an aesthetic surface treatment such as lace all secured together by being peripherally sewn into the breast cup construction.
