ABSTRACT:
A device for brassieres is described which renders the brassiere elastic and steady and allows the bust to be supported from below, by the body underneath the bust, so that the strain in shoulder straps, if present, becomes a minimum, without the need of providing the brassiere with stiffening metal strips or springs. The device according to the invention comprises a band-shaped member of a flexible, supporting material, provided in either half of the brassiere from the area at the center of the brassiere in a direction towards the end of the brassiere. The band-shaped member is foldable along a longitudinal line, which partially extends substantially along the lower edge of the cup of the half of the brassiere so that, upon use, one part of the band-shaped member on one side of said line bears against the lower side of the bust so as to support it with the support from the other part of the member, which bears against the body underneath the bust. Transverse slots are formed in the longitudinal edges of the band-shaped member so that the member will smoothly adjust itself to the shape of the bust and the body. The device according to the invention may be used in any standard type of brassieres, in sun dresses, swimming suits, etc.
