ABSTRACT:
The invention described in the specification relates to an ergonomically designed support garment for use in supporting the breast of a woman. The support garment contains an inverted Y-shaped portion having an apex, a lateral side and a medial side attached to a support means having a bottom portion, a lateral arm and a medial arm for uplifting support of a woman's breast wherein the lateral side of the Y-shaped portion is connected to the lateral arm at an angle ranging from about 120 to about 140 degrees therebetween and the medial side is attached to the medial arm at an angle ranging from about 65 to about 85 degrees therebetween. Because of the design of the Y-shaped portion and the connection angle to the support means, a bra containing Y-shaped portion and support means provides enhanced support of a woman's breast for a variety of activities without the need for wires or stiffeners which are conventionally used to support woman's breast.
