ABSTRACT:
A brassiere includes a support portion (straps, sides, back, etc.) for supporting the brassiere on the human body, and two cups joined to the support portion. At least one of the two cups includes an additional elastic portion that is adapted to exercise an elastic retention effect on an oedema of the breast held in the cup. This additional elastic cup portion, which is preferably placed on the exterior of the cup, is adapted to have, in a slacked or unstretched state, a surface area smaller than the cup and a depth smaller than the cup. The additional elastic cup portion is attached solely along its periphery to the periphery of the cup.
