  • Patent number: 11553740
    Abstract: A bodice system includes a combination of stretch and non-stretch fabrics and/or textiles that are shaped, arranged, layered, and connected from front to back, to provide lift, shape, and support to a wearer's breasts in a comfortable garment. The bodice system includes an under-bust cradle, an elastic support band around the wearer's torso, three-piece left and right breast cups, a curved sling within each of the breast cups, left and right shoulder straps, and a flexible back aligning member integrally formed with each of the shoulder straps. The elastic support band is coupled to the under-bust cradle along the anterior portion of the bodice system, and to the back aligning member along the posterior portion of the bodice system. The interconnectedness of the components of the bodice system enable front-to-back lift, shape, and support for the wearer's breasts, even breasts that are D-cup and larger in size or volume.
