Embodiment Construction

[0023]In the drawings, FIG. 1A shows a nursing undershirt 10 with the principles of the invention. The front of the nursing undershirt 10 has holes 11, which allow the wearer to unhook her nursing bra and present her breast to a hungry baby. The holes could take on a number of different shapes, but the pear shape (as shown in the drawings) works best. The pear shape is suitable for the shape of a breast and allows room for the mother to reach for a hook on a nursing bra if it is located at the top of the bra cup. The pear shaped holes should be located in the area of the breasts. In manufacturing this garment, there should be at least two sizes of holes available. One hole size (measuring 4.9 inches from top to bottom and 3.75 inches from left to right at the widest part) could be used for bra cup sizes A through C and another hole size (measuring 5.25 inches from top to bottom and 4 inches from left to right at the widest part) could be used for bra cup sizes D and larger.

Abstract

This invention is intended as an undershirt for nursing mothers. The invention consists of a form-fitting undershirt, which can have short sleeves, be sleeveless (like a tank top) or be a camisole type undershirt. The shirt has holes, which expose the breast area. The holes allow for opening a nursing bra and revealing enough of the breasts for nursing a baby. The undershirt covers the woman's back, upper chest and torso beneath the breasts. This undershirt allows a nursing mother to wear the nursing bra of her choice along with any shirt or blouse that can be lifted up or unbuttoned to access the breasts. Thus, a woman can nurse her baby in public without revealing her breast and/or other body parts. Use of the nursing undershirt does not compromise the mother's personal style of dress.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Provisional application No. 60 / 763,444 filed on Jan. 30, 2006.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not ApplicableREFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX[0003]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]Many women choose to nurse their babies rather than formula feed for various reasons. A great number of nursing mothers are concerned about concealing their bodies while nursing, particularly in public. This invention relates to nursing women's apparel. The invention consists of a thin, form-fitting undershirt with openings for the breasts. The undershirt allows nursing mothers to wear the nursing bra of their choice and discreetly nurse while also wearing an outer garment of their choice.[0005]Most nursing bras look like regular bras, but they have features that allow them to open and reveal the breasts separately for feeding a baby. See U.S. Pat Nos. 6,...
