ABSTRACT:
A brassiere comprises two breast-receiving cups or pockets formed each from one of two flexible elongate strips (or from one half of a unitary flexible strip of twice the length), each strip being split or slit lengthwise from one end to a location near its other end where the two strips are joined together (or near the middle of the unitary strip), the slit forming the strip into two limbs which are crossed over each other to form a conical breast-receiving concavity having its apex at the end of the slit. One limb of each strip has a plurality of apertures therethrough through which the other limb is passed to hold the two limbs in crossed position, and the limbs are provided with fastening means to permit them to serve as back and shoulder straps for the brassiere. The material of the strip or strips may be heat-formed to three-dimensional shape so as to make the breast-receiving cups or concavities conform approximately to parts of spherical surfaces.
