. object being to provide a construction of brassier'e which, besides affording the re-. quired reducer for the breast, will also serve to compress the front part of the bod at or the waist line. he invention is adapted more particularly for the use of fleshy e-rsons who use in conjunction with the rassiere a so-called low corset.
When the comet and bra ere as both worn, thecorset is first adjusted to the body and the brassiere then applied over it, the lower edge of the brassiere overlapping the upper edge of the low corset. en the corset is; worn by fleshy persons and laced tightly around the body, the tissue of the body is caused to protrude or roll over the hpper edge of the corset and some means'is desirable to prevent this displacement or as it is unsightlyand undesirable. The construction of the brassiere herein desci 'bed is adapted particularly font-his purpose and its-construction 1n de= tail will now be described in connection with the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 is a face view of the improved brassiere laid out its full length flat; and
Fig. 2 is a view of the human figure with brassiere in place thereon and associ 'ated with a corset.
The front of the brassiere to which my improvements are applied consists essentially of the two parts or zones a and l). he zone a is the elastic upper portion used for the ordinary purposes of the brassiere', while the lower zone I) is of comparatively rigid but still elastic material which is applied at or slightly above the waist line. This portion I; is made elastic in order that the garment may be ap lied to the body under longitudinal tension and will thereby fit well and smoothly against the body. The brassiere is adjusted to the body so that this zone h overlaps the upper edge of the low Specification of Letters Patent.

corset, the corset being indicated in Fig. 2 by 0 and -its upper edge by the dotted line 0. Immediately above the upper edge of the-corset, and directly in front, is the location where the flesh of the body is forced The elastic material of the zone 6 of the brassiere ord narily is intended to reduce or suppress this protruding tissue, but in many instances it does not accomplish its purpose, and I have therefore provided at the central region of the zone I) an inelastic or ii id shield fwhich may be of any suitable s rape, but which preferably is pointed at the top and extends substantially across zone, although this is not essential. 1 construct this shield either bystitching a piece of coutil or other inextensible material to the face of the out out the elastic material and insert the shield therein by stitching. In any case the presence of this inextensible or inelastic area at the point where the flesh of the body tends to protrude, is suificient to hold the body fiat and givethe ap earance of a continued: even surface. from tl i corset upward. I do not limit myself either to the size or shape of this shield f nor to the extent to which it ma encroach upon the zone I), but I have foun the shape shown in the drawing to be very serviceablefor the purpose. It will be understood thatthe wings d and a pass around the body and are secured edge to edge at the back and that the brassiere may be'sustained in position somewhat by the shoulder straps g.
