Abstract: A brassiere shoulder strap has a layer of strap material having an inner surface with an inner surface area shape and an outer non-slip surface, and a support fabric having an inner surface and overlying the inner surface of the layer of strap material. The inner surface of the support fabric corresponding to the inner surface area shape of the layer of strap material. Folded free side edges of the layer of strap material and the support fabric are all stitched together to interconnect the layer of strap material to the support fabric.

Abstract: A fabric having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an intermediate surface between the first surface and the second surface is provided. At least one of the first surface and the second surface is knitted with at least one elasticized yarn at at least one predetermined zone to provide a selected zone of elasticity to at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the fabric.

Abstract: A brassiere strap having a layer of material having an inner surface and a non-slip surface; and a support fabric connected to the inner surface is provided. The non-slip surface has a nap that is capable of preventing movement between the non-slip surface and the skin of a wearer when the strap is worn against the skin of the wearer. A brassiere strap having a layer having a non-slip surface and an inner surface opposite the non-slip surface is provided. The support layer is connected to the inner surface.

Abstract: A brassiere for supporting a wearer's breasts has breast cups with each of the breast cups connected to a central panel therebetween. The brassiere has a pair of side panels. Each side panel is connected to a different one of the pair of breast cups. The breast cups have a first fabric layer, a second fabric layer and a third fabric layer that is between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer. The third fabric layer provides breathability and support to the wearer's breasts.

Abstract: A brassiere fastener system having a cushion structure is provided. Preferably, the cushion structure is a pouch with at least one cushion insert therein.
