ABSTRACT:
A woman's garment includes an integral brassiere having improved breast support. The garment includes first and second bra cups in combination with an additional front support panel situated between the outer garment body and said first and second bra cups, said additional front support panel having a shape that substantially covers said first and second bra cups. The bra cups provide the support of a separate fitted brassiere. The additional front support panel provides both support for the bra cups and support for the outer garment body, which creates a smooth flattering appearance.
