Abstract: The combination of a brassiere with a pair of laterally spaced, forwardly projecting, rearwardly opening, concavo, convex breast receiving cups of flexible fabric and force receiving and distributing reinforcing inserts removably engaged within the lower quadrant portions of said cups and below a wearer's breasts engaged therein. The inserts include elongate, laterally extending, flexible fabric panels with upper forward and lower rear edges, force receiving and distributing bases at and along said lower rear edges and pluralities of laterally spaced, elongated, flexible, resilient reinforcing stays carried by the panels with upper ends adjacent said upper forward edges of the panels and lower rear ends at the lower rear edges of the panels and in force transmitting relationship with said bases.
