Abstract: A collection of bras includes a first set of bra cups including a first pair of bra cup sizes, an inner face of each bra cup in the first set having a first padded area having a first shape. The first padded area has a height that is between first and second percentages of a cup height of each bra cup in the first set. A second set of bra cups includes a second pair of bra cup sizes that are larger than the first pair of bra cup sizes relative to a given band size. An inner face of each bra cup in the second set has a second padded area having a second shape that is different from the first shape. The second padded area has a height that is between third and fourth percentages of a cup height of each bra cup in the second set.

Abstract: A breast support (12a, 12b) for a garment or garment part is disclosed as including a first piece of elongate resilient material formed by a piece of substantially straight resilient material (16a, 16b) with a first planar major surface, and a second piece of elongate resilient material formed by a piece of arcuate resilient material (14a, 14b) with a second planar major surface (18), an inner arcuate edge (13a, 13b) and an outer arcuate edge (15a, 15b), the first piece of elongate resilient material (16a, 16b) being fixedly engaged and in contact with the second piece of elongate resilient material (14a, 14b) along the whole length of the first piece of elongate resilient material (16a, 16b).

Abstract: A breast support (10a, 10b, 50) for a garment or garment part is disclosed as including at least two support elements (12a, 12b, 14a, 14b, 16a, 16b, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60) pivotally engaged with each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bra part which includes a first garment portion having a female fastening member, and a second garment portion having a male fastening member. The female fastening member and the male fastening member are releasably engageable with each other to connect the first garment portion and the second garment portion, so that when the female fastening member and the male fastening member are engaged with each other, the female fastening member and the male fastening member are substantially fully encased within the part.

Abstract: Brassiere cups, each comprising an inner layer attached to an outer layer. The inner layer comprises an inner foam material that is substantially laminated to an inner fabric lining. The outer layer comprises an outer foam material that is substantially laminated to an outer fabric lining. Each brassiere cup further includes an underwire assembly having an arcuate wire coupled to a plurality of gel pads. The underwire assembly is housed between the inner foam material and the outer foam material at or adjacent to a lower peripheral area of each brassiere cup. Preferably, each of the gel pads is coupled to respective ends of the arcuate portion.
