Embodiment Construction

[0089]With reference to FIG. 1 there is shown a bra 100 that may generally be defined by a breast cup region 102, chest bands 103 and 104 and shoulder straps 105 and 106. The shoulder straps 106 and 105 may extend between the breast cup region 102 and each of the chest bands 103 and 104 respectively.

[0090]Such over the shoulder straps may however be optional as it is envisaged that the bra may also be of a strapless version. Indeed whilst reference is herein made to a bra, it is envisaged that the assembly of panels component parts and items to define such, may alternatively be incorporated into other garments such as, for example, evening dresses or bathing suits or similar.

[0091]At the ends of each of the chest bands may be fasteners 107 and 108 that are mutually cooperative to allow for the bra to be fastened about the chest of a wearer.

[0092]The bra may be seamless and made from materials at least some of which are molded or moldable and that are engaged to each other preferably...

Abstract

A brassiere has a core pad between the outer and inner layers of fabric. The core pad has a thin perimeter region proximate the neckline. The core pad is of foam plies. The core pad is at the cups and at the bridge between the cups.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a partial foam core brassiere.BACKGROUND[0002]Pads are effective in creating support of the breasts of a wearer of a brassiere (hereinafter “bra”).[0003]Pads that are incorporated in bras can help support the breasts and also create uplift. A pad is normally made from a foam material and is incorporated between interior and exterior most layers of the bra. The pad is located normally covering the entire breast cup regions of a bra. However the incorporation of pads in a bra can be undesirable for certain reasons. A pad increases the thickness of the breast cup regions of a bra. At regions where a perimeter of the pad is defined, a sudden change in the thickness of the bra can be created. Such a sudden change in thickness, may be undesirable for visual reasons. A bra worn under an over garment, such as a dress or top, may to some wearers wish to be inconspicuous. Where a sudden change in thickness or a thick perimeter of th...
