Abstract: A brassiere with underarm comfort feature comprises a pair of cup regions to which underarm regions and back regions are connected. An X-crossing or junction is formed by an undercup band which extends under the cup region, and which crosses a lateral band which extends to the side or over the cup region. Upper and lower elastic bands are mounted on opposite sides of an elastic underarm panel which together form the underarm region. Pivoting of the bands which form the X-junction, about the junction, allow the upper and lower side bands to stretch by different amounts to accommodate different proportions for women so that they can wear the bra confortably.
