Inner cups for receiving the breasts included in each breast cup having an integral layer of padding. Outer cups are carried adjacent the inner cups having an integral layer of padding. A curved reinforcing element carried along lower and edges of the breast cup lifting the inner and outer cups when the brassiere is worn and the shoulder straps are in a properly adjusted position. Means are providing for securing the inner and outer cups together at selected areas.
