Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to the technical field of clothing, and in particular to a women's lingerie that visually reduces the size of the busts.

BACKGROUND

In recent years, under the influence of fashion trends, women's demand for brassiere products has changed. They no longer blindly hope to make their busts fuller through brassiere products, but hope to have a more visually graceful bust shape and follow the trend of flat busts through brassiere products.
Furthermore, for women with plump busts, on the one hand, their control ability for popular clothing is low and the visual effect for wearing such clothing is poor; on the other hand, they are likely to receive unnecessary attention from others or unnecessary misunderstandings may occur during outdoor activities, thus causing much harassment to such women.
In addition, brassiere with good supporting capacity is usually thick, heavy and airtight, while light and permeable brassiere tends to have poor supporting capacity, which can easily cause back pain and other discomforts due to excessive shoulder strap pressure.
Therefore, one technical problem to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art is to provide a women's lingerie with advantages of visual reduction of the size of the busts, lightness, air permeability and good supporting capacity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of this, this invention aims to provide a women's lingerie with advantages of visual reduction of the size of the busts, lightness, air permeability and good supporting capacity.
To achieve the above objective, the technical solution of this invention is as follows.
A women's lingerie comprises shoulder straps, wings and two symmetrically arranged cups. An upper edge of an individual cup and an upper edge of a respective wing are connected by a respective shoulder strap. A lower edge of the individual cup is provided with darts. A shape of the darts is set corresponding to the pulling force of the respective shoulder strap. The individual cup bulges toward the side away from the body to form a bust accommodation space on the side close to the body. The bust accommodation space has a semi-ellipsoidal lower space and a semi-ellipsoidal upper space. The eccentricity of the lower space is smaller than that of the upper space. The maximum width of the lower space is larger than that of the upper space, and the volume of the lower space is greater than that of the upper space.
Furthermore, the women's lingerie further includes a center front. The center front is located between the two cups. The two wings are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the two cups. The cups, shoulder straps, center front and wings are connected as a whole.
Furthermore, the individual cup includes a lining cut piece and decorative material. The lining cut piece is located inside the women's lingerie. The decorative material is located outside the women's lingerie.
Furthermore, the lining cut piece and the decorative material have the same shape as the individual cup.
Further, the darts extend radially upward along the lower edge of the individual cup.
Further, the women's lingerie also includes a rubber band and a wire. The rubber band is arranged along the lower edge of the respective wing. The rubber band extends continuously from one end to the other end of the respective wing in the horizontal direction and penetrates the lower edge of the women's lingerie.
Furthermore, a cup edge is provided on the upper part of the respective wing, the cup edge is configured to be connected with the lower edge of the individual cup, and the lower edge of the individual cup is continuously connected with the cup edge of the respective wing.
Furthermore, the lower edge of the individual cup and the cup edge of the respective wing are connected by seam binding.
Furthermore, the wire is arranged along the lower edge of the individual cup.
Furthermore, on the extension line of the shoulder belt, the darts are the largest, and with the extension line of the shoulder belt as the center, the darts gradually decrease towards both sides.
Compared with the prior art, the women's lingerie of this invention has the following advantages.

(1) The women's lingerie described in this application forms a relatively reduced upper space and a relatively expanded lower space inside the individual cup through the arrangement of the individual cup. The upper space and the lower space cooperate to form a bust accommodation space. When wearing, the user can put most of the muscles of the bust into the lower space of the individual cup, and the bust is supported by the connecting rubber band and the wire at the bottom of the individual cup to define the shape of the bust. At this time, the bust is concentrated towards the lower space, thus achieving the visual effect of bust size reduction.
(2) In addition, the connecting rubber band and the wires at the bottom of the cups can work together to hold the lower edge of the busts, provide support for the busts, raise the busts, and prevent the busts from sagging.

Therefore, the lady's brassier described in this application cannot only reduce the size of the busts visually, but also wrap the busts well and provide sufficient support for the busts; meanwhile, the lining cut piece and decorative material are made of elastic permeable fabric, so that the lady's brassier has the supporting function as well as the advantages of lightness, air permeability, and comfortable feeling.
