Abstract

L'invention concerne un haut/soutien-gorge de sport pour femme, quoique que pas exclusivement pour une application de vêtements de plein air, comprenant un composant de type soutien-gorge intégré procurant un support à la poitrine, un contrôle des mouvements et un confort extrême lors de la pratique d'exercices physiques. La construction unique met en œuvre un vêtement à deux couches partageant les mêmes lignes de contours de finition au niveau de la bordure du col et parfois au niveau des emmanchures pour créer un vêtement intégré. L'invention comprend un soutien-gorge tailleur comportant un certain nombre de composants individuels permettant de supporter la poitrine par semi-encapsulation et compression sans qu'il ne soit nécessaire d'ajouter une armature pour procurer un support adéquat pour les poitrines plus importantes. Le choix de la taille du haut de sport pour femme correspond au système de taille de soutien-gorge, pour, de ce fait, générer un vêtement en fonction de la taille spécifique de la poitrine (par exemple, taille 80D-F, 85C-G, 90C-F, etc.) plutôt qu'en fonction de la taille générique des vêtements (par exemple, taille 36, 38, 40, etc.). Le modèle du haut de sport pour femme se décline en différents modèles de camisole, T-shirt ou haut de vêtement de plein air.
