  • Patent number: 11445768
    Abstract: The present invention provides a garment comprising a soft, knit tank top with a built-in, floating bra. The bra cups and front bridge are constructed with the same fabric as the tank top. Bra cups connect to the tank top partially along front neckline and are double-layered to provide space for removable and inter-changeable sized inserts for different levels of coverage. A floating back panel is made with a single-layer of compression fabric to provide tension support and anchor the front. The straps of the tank top are double-layered shell fabric and connect at a top of the shoulder to wide, flat-lock stitched vertical back bra straps made with compression fabric. This tank top with built-in bra support is a bra replacement worn as a stand-alone top garment or a layering piece underneath outer layers.
