Abstract: A brassiere which is particularly suitable for use during sporting activities or for persons in postsurgical rehabilitation. The bra has a front panel of non-stretch material, such as a cotton/polyester blend, and a back panel of stretch material, such as a nylon/lycra blend. A drawstring is provided through the front panel to allow the wearer to mold the front panel to provide the desired degree of breast support and comfort. Straps having one end connected to the front panel and another end connected to the back panel may be provided. The straps are preferably formed of a non-stretch material and include a length-adjustment device. Either the front panel or the back panel may be divided into two portions to allow the wearer to put on the brassiere without raising their arms above their head. The two portions of the panel which are divided can be fastened by a variety of known fastening means.
