Abstract

An improved bra assembly includes a pair of cups each having a cup boundary. An outer gore is associated with each of the cups at the cup boundary. The outer gores are configured to extend around the torso to a position anterior to the posterior axillary line, and/or anterior to the midaxillary line. A back strap is configured to removably connect with the outer gores and is preferably transparent. To attach removable shoulder straps, the bra can further include cup connection members and strap connection members, each configured to removably connect to the shoulder straps. An improved bra system includes a first back strap without strap connection members and a second back strap with strap connection members. The first back strap and the second back strap are selectively interchangeable. The first back strap, the second back strap, and/or the shoulder straps can be at least partially transparent.
