Abstract: A brassiere includes a fabric panel including a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer. The first fabric layer includes a first material having a first modulus of elasticity and a second material having a second modulus of elasticity. The first modulus of elasticity is greater than the second modulus of elasticity. An auxetic structure is formed by the first material on the first fabric layer, the auxetic structure comprising a pattern of reentrant shapes. The second fabric layer is coupled to the first fabric layer along a perimeter portion of the fabric panel. The second fabric layer free-floating relative to the first fabric layer at a central body portion located within the perimeter portion of the fabric panel.

Abstract: A garment including a pocket is provided. The pocket includes first and second surfaces, each respective surface including a corresponding distal end portion, a corresponding proximal end portion parallel to the corresponding distal end portion, a corresponding upper end portion connecting the corresponding distal end portion and the corresponding proximal end portion, and a corresponding lower end portion connecting the corresponding distal end portion and the corresponding proximal end portion. A cord includes an exterior, a first end portion interposing the corresponding proximal end portions, and a second end portion interposing the corresponding lower end portions. Each respective tactile element includes a through-hole and is disposed on the cord circumjacent to the exterior. A first seam affixes the corresponding proximal end portions and the first end portion of the cord. A second seam affixes the corresponding lower end portions and the second end portion of the cord.
