Definitions

  • This invention relates to ladies undergarments and more particularly to such garments, for use in the support of the bust, commonly called brassieres.
  • this invention provides a brassiere especially suited to the young girl who is just beginning to feel a need for such a garment.
  • this novel brassiere structure will be susceptible of use over a long period of time despite development of the bust.
  • This is accomplished by providing a brassiere, the fabric of which accommodates itself to variations in size.
  • a novel brassiere built according to the present invention will be capable of giving support and a molding eifect, as adequately as is provided by conventional brassieres for mature figures. This is achieved by providing a layered structure in which a ply interiorly located efiects the desired support. Thus is avoided any necessity for the employment of seams within the garment, while yet support is effectively provided.
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of a novel brassiere embodying my invention with portions of the cups broken away to show the interior construction;
  • Fig. 2 is a rear view of the same garment.
  • a brassiere embodying my inventive conception is shown in the drawings, generally being designated by the numeral 10.
  • the brassiere 10 has bust portions 11 and 12 and body encircling portions 13 and 14 on either side thereof. Since body encircling portions 13 and 14 are structurally conventional they are not shown in their entireties. Shoulder straps 15 and 16 interconnect bust portion 11 and body encircling portion 13, and bust portion 12 and body encircling portion 14, respectively.
  • a pri marily horizontally stretchable insert 17 Disposed between bust portions 11 and 12 is a pri marily horizontally stretchable insert 17, which insert tapers upwardly and inwardly from the bottom of the brassiere 10 along edges 20 and 21. It will be seen that such insert provides a ready means for automatic adjustment to size for different figures, or in the same figure with changes and development of the bust.
  • Each of the bust portions 11 and 12 consists of an inner ply 22 and an outer ply 23 which provide the exterior surfaces of the bust portions.
  • These plies, particularly inner ply 22, have no seams therein whereby the possibility of irritation of the bust due to the presence of seams is avoided.
  • plies 22 and 23 are made of stretchable fabric which preferably yields in all directions. I have found that fabric made from Helanca yarn is admirably suited for use in the present structure since, not only does it permit multi-directional stretch, but is very soft as well.
  • interior ply 24 Interiorly located relative to inner ply 22 and outer ply 23 in the bust portions 11 and 12, is interior ply 24.
  • Plies 22, 23, and 24 are independent in the embodiment shown, being joined only about their peripheral edges.
  • the interior ply 24 is of non-stretchable fabric and has an opening 25 therethrough into which opening 25 all or a portion of the bust may extend. That is, the nonstretchable interior ply 24 gives uplift to the bust, and the bust so uplifted is directed into opening 25, wherein it is yieldably confined by the stretchable plies 22 and 23.
  • interior ply 24 renders comfortable support to the bust of the wearer, particularly on the under side of the bust, and molds the bust, while inner and outer plies 22 and 23, respectively, can accommodate the bust during a period of growth and development.
  • a brassiere having a pair of bust portions, said bust portions having inner and outer plies of stretchable fabric coextensive with said bust portions, and interior plies of non-stretchable fabric, said interior plies having a portion thereof in the lower sections of said bust portions for supporting the bust and having an open portion above said bust supporting portion whereby said inner and outer plies may yieldably support the bust.
  • a brassiere having a pair of bust portions, said bust portions having inner and outer plies of seamless stretchable fabric coextensive with said bust portions, and interior plies of non-stretchable fabric, said interior plies having openings therein and portions disposed in the lower sections of said bust portions, said plies being joined at the peripheral edges of said bust portions, and being otherwise independent, whereby said portions of saidinterior plies disposed in the lower sections of said 4 bust portions may support the underside of the bust, directing portions of the bust into said openings, and said inner and outer plies may yieldably confine the portions of the bust directed into said openings.
