  • a brassiere two breast supporting parts of a size and shape suitable for enclosing the breasts but not extending laterally more than about midway around the wearers sides, shoulder straps attached to the upper outer corners of the supports and arranged so that they may be fastened in a variety of ways but so as to produce a lift upon the breast supports and lower fastening 'straps attached to the lower outer corners of the 20 supports and adapted to be secured to a lower garment in such a way that they produce a downward and outward pull upon the breast supports opposing the lift of the opposite shoulder straps.
  • the supports are cut or otherwise arranged so that they are relatively inextensible along the lines of pull in the garment so that the supports shall not be appreciably deformed, whatever position may be assumed by the wearer.
  • Fig. 1 is a view of the brassiere laid out flat.
  • Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5 illustrate different arrange- 5 ments of the fastening straps (usually elastic) to adapt the garment for wear with different types of dress.

  • a and B indicate breast supports or pockets which are' cut from the material and then shaped, by means of the seams or darts A and B and .the junction C in such a way that line C along which the supports are sewn together.
  • the breadth of the supports is such that the 10 outer edges will not extend further than about midway around the wearers side so that they will not be visible with a dress which is open at the sides.
  • the shoulder strap E is shown detachable from II the support B by means of a buckle of any suitable type.
  • the support D may or may not be similarly detachable.
  • the shoulder straps D and E pass over the shoulders and more or less vertically downwards for attachment to loo'ps H secured to a lower garment and the lower straps F and G are attached to the same loops, so providing a wide and deep opening at the back, which will keep the straps invisible when worn with an evening dress having a deep open back.
  • Fig. 8 the shoulder straps D and E are shown crossed at the back and attachable to the opposite loops H.
  • Fig. 4 the shoulder strap E has been dea tached and the strap D arranged to pass around the wearers neck to the upper outer corner of the support B, for wear with the type of dress in which the front of the dress is supported by a band of the dress material passed around the a wearers neck.

  • This form is designed for use where the breasts require more than usual support, it being intended that the piece of material J, K, L, M should lie under the breasts against the body, the edges J K and L, K furnishing additional reinforcement along the lines of pull.
  • the straps on either side of the garment may, for instance, be made in one piece, passing through a channel in the edge of the support, the strap being sewn to the support at the top and bottom corners thereof with the elastic extended so that when not in use the edges of thegarment will be puckered but will be drawn straight when the garment is put on.
  • a brassiere constructed and arranged for use in combination with a lower garment having a belt-like portion surrounding the waist of the wearer, said brassiere comprising a pair of shaped, woven fabric breast supports of generally quadrilateral form joined together along their inner and shortest edges, the fabric of the supports being arranged with the straight of the goods parallel to the lower edges of the supports to prevent horizontal, lateral stretching, said arrangement of the fabric also being such as to dispose the straight of the goods in the upper ortions of the supports on lines extended from the upper.
  • a vbrassiere constructed and arranged for use in combination with a lower garment having a belt-like portion surrounding the waist'of the wearer, said brassiere comprising a pair of shaped, woven fabric breast supports of generally quadrilateral form joined together along their inner and shortest edges, each of said supports comprising an upper and a lower piece of fabric joined by a substantially horizontal seam providing fullness to the supports, the fabric of the supports being arranged with the straight of the goods parallel to the lower edges of the supports to prevent horizontal, lateral stretching,
  • said arrangement of the fabric also being such straps extending from the upper outer comers of the supports over the shoulders of the wearer and being securable at their opposite ends to said belt-like portion by said connecting means to act as shoulder straps to support said brassiere,
  • the lower pair running steeply downwardly from the lower outer corners of the supports and being securable at their lower ends to said beltlike portion by said connecting means to act in conjunction with the upper pair of straps to tension the supports along the straight of the goodsand therefore along their lines of least stretch.
