Abstract: A reversible press button closure for shoulder straps of brassieres or back band connectors has soft attachment pieces secured to the garment and connected by pins and lugs with male and female ring members which are molded from a harder plastic and define the press button assembly. The male and female members match in appearance when they are interconnected so that the connector has the same appearance from both sides.

Abstract: A two-step garment closure, especially for front closing brassieres, has a spherically shaped front portion which is depressible to allow the closure to extend from its contracted position into an extended position. When a button-shaped formation on the rear of the slider is actuated from the back of the closure, the slide can separate from the body of the closure. Alternatively the actuator can be pivoted so that the entire operation can be effected from the front. The closure can thus extend from its contracted into an extended position when the actuator is pivotally swung in one sense and the slide can be fully withdrawn from the body when the actuator is depressed in the opposite sense by the wearer also from the front.
