ABSTRACT:
A garment adapted to support a female chest includes a pair of frontal cup portions of flexible material adapted to cover the chest area of a wearer, each of the cup portions having a perimeter. A multifilament twisted and drawn or swaged cable support element is attached to a portion of the perimeter to provide support for each cup in a manner which is comfortable to the wearer. The multifilament twisted and drawn or swaged cable support element is preferably comprised of a plurality of nickel-titanium wires or a plurality of stainless steel wires, which were formed by first twisting multiple filaments together and then drawing the twisted filaments through multiple dies and/or swaging to form a cable. The multifilament twisted and drawn or swaged cable provides superior support and comfort.
