Description
FUSION UNDERGARMENT
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to women's undergarments.
More particularly, the present invention relates to brassieres.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to women's undergarments.
More particularly, the present invention relates to brassieres.
2. Description of the Related Art Conventional brassieres have a pair of breast cups, which provide support for the breasts, and preferably one or more straps for fastening over the shoulders and around the thorax to keep the breasts in place. The manufacturers of brassieres are constantly challenged to develop brassieres that provide optimal cumfvrta effective supporta as well as a sensual appeal and feminine allure. Traditionally, brassieres have been made using cut pieces of fabric that are sewn together, particularly in the zones intended to form a three-dimensional capacity such as the breast supporting cup portions of the brassieres. Over the years, manufacturers, in an effort to meet the above noted challenges, have developed brassieres that improve wearing comfort through bonding techniques that reduce and even eliminate the need for stitched seams, support through inserts and/or support pads that cooperate with the breast supporting cups to reduce breast mastoptosis and deformation caused by gravity, and that improve feminine allure through the use of more soft, sheer and even transparent fabrics.
It is often the situation that undergarments, and more particularly brassieres, when designed for improved comfort and support, substantially lack sensual appeal. The opposite being true when emphasis is placed on sensual appeal rather than comfort and support. Thus, there remains a need for providing an undergarment, and more specifically a brassiere or bra, that offers an optimal balance of comfort, support and sensual appeal.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an undergarment that meets the above identified need for providing the optimal balance of comfort, support and sensual appeal.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an undergarment that offers improved durability and longevity.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention are achieved by an undergarment, and more particularly a bra, having a transparent layer with an inner and outer surface, a support layer also having an inner and outer surface, and an adhesive layer for fusing the inner surface of the transparent layer with the outer surface of the support layer.
The fusing process has the steps of first, fusing the adhesive layer to a surface of the support layer, then, cutting the fused adhesive-support layer into a desired shape, followed by, fusing the cut adhesive-support layer to the inner surface of the transparent layer, and finally, in a subsequent molding action, forming the breast supporting cup portions of the bra such that when the bra is worn, the support layer extends primarily under a wearer's breasts along the lower and side breast profile. The support layer provides an optimal balance of comfort and support, while the transparent layer provides the requisite sensual appeal.
