Abstract: An outer garment item in the form of a brassiere for use in a reclining sleep or rest position includes an enclosing frame consisting of two enclosing frame parts which partially surround the respective breasts, are connected to each other and form a breast central web, an under-breast strap arrangement and a support arrangement which is connected to the under-breast strap arrangement and the enclosing frame parts. In order for the breasts to maintain their shape in any sleep position and to prevent the breasts from wrinkling by pressing together or lying on them, each breast is assigned an extension cup part which is fastened at one end in the region of the breast central web to the relevant enclosing frame part and can be attached in a variably releasable manner at the other end to an outer-side web of the relevant enclosing frame part.
