  • Garment with integral brassiere
    Patent number: 6530820
    Abstract: A woman's garment (10) includes a tubular garment body (20) and an inner support unit (50). The preferred inner support unit (50) comprises a liner (52) secured to the garment body (20) along an upper edge portion (30) of the garment body (20); a pair of underwire members (54, 56) secured to the liner (52) proximate a lower edge portion (60); and an elastic member (58) extending along the lower edge portion (60) of the liner (52). The liner (52) preferably includes darts (104, 106) formed in support sections (100, 102) of the liner (52) defined by the underwire members (54, 56), forming a slight degree of concavity in the support sections (100, 102). The preferred liner (52) and elastic member (58) are capable of encircling the wearer's torso (23) to provide a comfortable fit and support without detachable fasteners (not shown) which complicate the garment and show through to the exterior creating unsightly bulges.
