ABSTRACT:
A support for a brassiere shoulder strap has an elongate bridge plate of desired rigidity with a curvature sized and shaped to form-fit on a woman's shoulder beneath a brassiere strap between an area proximate the clavicle bone in the front and a position proximate a downward-curving rear portion of the shoulder. A bottom surface of the bridge plate is provided with walls, at least two of which are recessed, surrounding a cushion receptacle into which a cushion pad can be inserted and held in cushioning relationship between the bridge plate and the woman's shoulder. The cushion pad can be attached to and detached from the bridge plate conveniently and easily for cleaning, servicing and replacement. The elongate bridge plate can be shaped variously, preferably having a generally elliptical form. Each shoulder strap of a brassiere is positioned on top of a bridge plate and extended down through a T-shaped strap-attachment bay and onto a shoulder of the woman forwardly and rearwardly. Cushion pads with different thicknesses, widths and other characteristics can be provided and utilized optionally and interchangeably for different levels of breast weight and physical activity of users. Orifices for ventilation and for attachment of decorations can be provided in the bridge plate.
