  • the back v siere issliow e r y y gure 4.
  • shoulder straps 21 and 22 are located in inverted relation on the developed band of Figure l, the right shoulder strap 21 having its connections 23 and 2% adjacent the longitudinal edge 25 of the band, while the left shoulder strap 22 has its connections 26 and 27 adjacent the opposite edge 28 of the same. hen the front section 9 of the band is twisted, however, the shoulder straps assume a uniform relation to the twisted band, and with the ends joined as in Figure 5 the shoulder straps 21 and 22 appear as in Figure 2.
  • the shoulder straps may be made of elastic, tape, or of ribbon, or any suitable material.
  • the back section 11 is preferably formed of elastic material, making the garment comfortably extensible.
  • a soft material such as silk or jersey may be used for the front section 9 this material.
  • the material of the back sect-ions 8 and 10 may be the same as that of the tron section, or otherwise, and may be reversible or not preferred.
  • the edges 25 and 28 of the band are crossed in an angular relation and the longitudinal fibres of the fabric are likewise crossed and partially wound about each other in helical spiral formation, but are free to shift with respect to each other.
  • the band is thus adapted to conform to the shape oi? the body and to adjust itself to the muscular movements of the shoulders and back.
  • the ends 16 and 17 of the front section 9 are in effect rotated with respect to each other about the central longitudinal fibres joining them these central. fibres are shortened less therefore by the twisting process than are the outside fibres.
  • a cupped formation results. which in the form shown is increased and modified by gatherlng the ends of the front section 9 at the seams 16 and 17.
  • This cupping will be affected by the manner of gathering at the seams 16 and 17 1. e. whether uniform or otherwise; by the initial width and the length of the section 9, the width of the back sections 8 and 10, the shape of the transverse edges of the various sections, etc.
  • the sections are initially cut to rectangular shape and the section 9 has an initial width about double that of the sections 8 and 10.
  • exact patterning is'less important than in brassieres of the usual forms, although by such variations as above, and others, the garment is well adapted to manu- 'facture in a wide variety of sizes andshapes.
  • Figure 6 shows a modification of the brassiere previously described, which is designed to give an additional security of formation and position under certain conditions;
  • the width of the back sections is increased, providing an extension of these sections downward when in operative formation.
  • the seams 16 and 17 are thereby extended, and preferably carry whale bone or other stiffening insertions.
  • Triangular insets 29 brace the edges 28 and 25 respectively, to the seams 16 and 17.-
  • Connectors 30 and 31 are provided adjacent the edges 28 and 25 respectively of the section'9 to receive cooperating connectors 32' of an elastic coupler 33 which may be used to maintain the under edges of the garment in p more definite relation than otherwise. Additional security of position is provided by the bridle 34,- having end connections 35 and 36 to the edges 28 and 25 respectively of the front section 9', and carrying an eyelet 37 adapted to engage a belt or other garment worn about the waist. The downward fastening provided by the bridle'S although not generally necessary makes this form of garment particularly suited to athletic wear.
  • a variation of this arrangement will consist of such a garment as is shown in Figure 6 or such as is shown in Figures 1 to 5, inclusive, with the bridle omitted, but with connections provided at positions such as and 36 to permit the use of a bridle if desired. 7
  • the shoulder straps 21 and 22 may be omitted therefore and only connections for such straps be provided at positions 23, 24, 26, and 27 of Figures 2 to 4 inclusive. Or for certain conditions or' pur-* poses the band may be made" without such provlsion.
  • the bra-ssiere here comprises only a one piece band 38 spirally twisted and perinanently joined at 39;
  • the band is made preferably of elastic material and soniay be eas- 11y donned.
  • Such a band, it formed of'no'nporous materlal such as rubber, may constitute an efiective reducer.
