ABSTRACT:
A brassiere is disclosed which has a pair of side sections stitched to opposite side edges of a front section. The front section consists of an outer panel provided in its upper portion with a pair of semi-circular recesses. An elastic inner panel underlies the upper portion of the outer panel and is stitched thereto along the side edges and along its lower edge in downwardly spaced relation from the recesses. A pair of breast cups are provided on the inner panel, and lower portions of the cups project forwardly through the recesses in the outer panel, while crescent-shaped pockets exist between the two panels around the lower cup portions. The attachment of the breast cups to an elastic inner panel allows the breast cups to move with the breasts relative to the rib cage, independent of the outer garment. A pair of semi-circular reinforcing wires are embedded in the edges of the recesses in the outer panel. The wires are rigid with respect to the outer panel (being fixed in the plane of the outer panel) and the breast cups are in free-floating relationship with respect to the wires.
