the shape ofthe garment is always preserved,

and is not liable to be distortedor strained.

' That portion of the shoulder may, if desired, benarrower than,

` shown in Fig. l, and may be made ymore or less the garment extending over high in the neck to afford additional chest-coverin g for cold weather, or may be trimmed with l lace or other ornamentation. v

The lower end of the garment, or the band o, is made to extend downward to a point on the body corresponding with the point at which it is'desired the bust should curve outward and upward, to attain beauty of "form and pleasantly support the bust. The posi-k tion of the band, therefore, deiines the lowermost position of the lower portion ofthe bust; and from that point upward, and preferably l to a point as high as the center of the bust, the garment aords a substantial support, allowing the expansion ofthe upper portion'of the bust into the gathered portion or toward the center.

Thisv garment, fashioned substantially as herein set forth, eifectually supports the busi;

from the shoulders, through the shoulder-- straps forming part of the garment, and this is accomplished by reason of kthe novel direction and arrangement of warp and weft. The warp extends diagonally across the back,lover the shoulder, and under the arm and over the bust, and prevents exerting'presslylre from thev of the form shownin Fig. 2,' from two pieces shaped as warpsy in direction lindicated .4

of cloth, and

(the "frcntf'f the garment being or otherwise) acts closely nally, as described, and the shoulder-straps were like the usualslioulder-straps, the bustpieces"wouldl be really'held -up positively, or

with any `degree of certainty.'only for a short i .distance close-tothe'arms. 'f Itis obvious that the garment, with" the `warp' arranged 'in the cause the garment to iit the body below the bust, and at the sidesfunder and below the',

lines described, will' arms, andfpressagainst-and hold up the bust from below, and pressurev by the' bust on the bust-pieces lwill cause y the -gf rment to hug closely tol the-body from the front ofthe garment, about under'thearms and over the shoulder. y' f The garment can be wornwithout theslightest 'discomfort or restraint, by reason of .the d play or movement ofthe muscles or portions of the body Lover which-it passes.A

Itwill be noticed Lthat bones, steels, eyelets, v cords, andlacings, common to` corsets and otherbust-supporters, vare entirely dispensedI with, and, owingtothe drawing and sustaining action of the garment, they are entirely unnecessary, and the garment under .all circumstances is', smooth, and without wrinkles orf gathers, except d gatlieredvon oryunited to the shoulder-piece b. l

where the Abust-form his open, bu t, if used as a bust-improver, the front i edge'may be open to yreceive.whateverlthe wearer may desire to insert between the pieces of cloth h. The device is very light and easy, and commends .itself'in a sanitary point of view. f

In the foregoing description it has been stated that the warp runs kin certain directions 5 but it will bel evident that with goods of a widthl sufficient to cut the garment'from across the cloth, Instead of inthe direction of the length of the cloth, the weft might run'in the direction described forthe warp, and pro -du'ce the same beneficial results.

I claim- 1. A bust-,supporter blank,l cut substantially as described, and shown in Fig. '2 of the drawing. f

of cloth, cut substantiallyas described, and arranged with relation toeach other to present the warps in one piece at substantially right sub- .3.

A bust-supporter composed of two pieces i back and into ashonlderand bust piece, subthe garment, substantially as described, the

shoulder-pieces being connected with the bustpieces, as set forth, whereby the garment s'upports the bust from .the shoulders, substan` tially as described. g
