Abstract: A brassiere with selective cup modification has adjustable straps with clips, hooks for securing it around the waist of a user, cups to support the breasts, and a bone structure in both the cups and the wings to give the garment a semi-rigid structure. Between the cups, there is a center gore with hole sliders and keyholes. The brassiere has a gel reservoir bag in each wing that can send gel to an expandable bag in the cup through a tube. This adds balance to the bra and adjustability. This gel movement and other structural parts can be changed using a set of mechanical wheels, sliders, and a pair of keys. These keys fit into the keyholes, giving control over the features of the bra, similar to the mechanism that pulls the straps back. The brassiere also has different tracks, wheels, valves, and layers of fabric to ensure the gel moves and spreads evenly and that the breasts appear symmetrical.
