  • Patent number: 6386944
    Abstract: A breast support system for a garment. The system includes a main body formed by shoulder supports, a midriff section, and a pair of breast cups interspaced between and connecting the shoulder supports and the midriff section. A pair of cross tracks pass from one shoulder support over one breast cup, between both breast cups, and then terminating with an exit under the other breast cup. A pair of midriff tracks are affixed to the midriff section each located under one breast cup and below the cross tracks. Grips are affixed to the midriff section between the midriff tracks. The midriff section includes two stays each generally located between a midriff track and the exit of a cross track. Attached to each stay is a guide. A draw strap is loosely guided by each track with one end affixed to a shoulder support and the second end exiting the cross track, passing through one guide, then through one midriff track, and ultimately secured by a grip.
