Definitions

  • each cup 12 comprises three panels 12a, 12b and 12c joined along seams 12e in order to shape the cup 12 for accommodating the breasts. Any number of panels may be used appropriate to forming the breast cups 12.
  • the shape of the cups 12 determine a particular size of cup 12 and hence the size of the brassiere 10. Accordingly, during manufacture of the brassiere 10 the shape and size of the three panels 12a, 12b and 12c may be chosen in order to conform to and accommodate a particular size of breast of the wearer.
  • a range in sizes of the cups 12 are preferably in the order of size B up to size G.
  • the two cups 12 of the brassiere 10 are stitch seamed together about the centre line 20 between an upper and lower point 20a, 20b.
  • Each reinforcing wire 14 is preferably continuously curved along its length and advantageously passes downwardly from the upper edge 31 to a centre line 19 of the associated cup 12 and then curves upwardly from the centre line 19 toward the central region 20 of the body portion 11.
  • the reinforcing wires 14 are preferably made of conventional material such as flat formed spring steel although other suitable material having similar properties would suffice.
  • Each wire 14 conforms curvilinearly to, and extends along, a lower peripheral edge 18 of each cup 12 from the upper edge 31 of the body portion 11 defining the arm opening 16 to terminate at a lower region 17 of each cup 12.
  • the lower peripheral edge 18 is defined by a boundary at which each breast cup 12 attaches to its respective side panel 11a.
  • the lower peripheral edge 18 is formed by two superimposed layers of fabric having two parallel stitch seams 18a, 18b located one either side the wires 14 and thereby joins a side panel 11a to an associated breast cup 12.
  • the wire 14 in this respect is sandwiched between the two superimposed layers of fabric one layer being formed by the side panel 11a and the other being formed by a strip of relatively inelastic fabric 18c located on an underside of the brassiere 10.
  • the layers of fabric together form a tube (shown by the alphanumeric reference 18c) for receiving the wires 14 bounded by the parallel seamed edges 18a, 18b and a pair of end seams 15 and 21a.
  • the reinforcing wires 14 are segregated by the seams 21a from one another about the medial region of the brassiere 10 such that they offer comfort by being spaced apart about this region. In this respect as the wearer moves around, particularly whilst moving into a seated position, the wires 14 move independently and do not project excessively forwardly at the medial region of the brassiere 10. Accordingly the length of each wire 14 is chosen to be long enough to extend from adjacent end seam 15 to at least centre line 19 and preferably extends beyond line 19 by a short distance to remain within the lower region of the cup (ie. it does not extend upwardly to join the upper edge 30 of the cup) and thereby enables the independence of movement referred to above to achieved.
  • the peripheral edges of the brassiere are preferably bounded by an elasticated edging 35 attached to the peripheral edges of the brassiere 10 by zig-zag stitching 35a to accommodate longitudinal flexing of the elasticated edging 35.
