One side of the lower back portion is connected to one side of the left-front portion, and another side of the lower back portion is connected to one side of the right-front portion. The left-front portion is provided at one side thereof away from the lower back portion with multiple rows of loops, and the right-front portion is provided at one side thereof away from the lower back portion with hooks, the hooks and the multiple rows of loops being connected to each other by hooking. The left-front portion, the right-front portion, the left accessory breast receiving portion, and the right accessory breast receiving portion form a U-shaped neckline.

Abstract: A garment configured to be worn by a wearer having two breasts may include a set of two support structures and a housing. The support structures may be positioned within the housing such that each support structure corresponds to a position between a center and a bottom of one of the wearer's breasts when the garment is worn by the wearer. Each support structure may be configured to reposition a portion of a volume of the wearer's respective breast and support a portion of a weight of the wearer's respective breast when worn by the wearer. Optionally, the garment may include a set of flexible structures positioned within the housing such that each flexible structure is coincident with one of the support structures of the set of two support structures. The housing may wrap around the wearer's chest, thereby enabling the wearer to wear the garment.

Abstract: An athletic brassiere with breast band, having the general form of a brassiere, for use when engaging in vigorous physical exercise or activities, such as running, tennis, and the like. An embodiment comprises an inner liner and outer panel, an internal breast band sleeve, and a breast band slidably retained within the sleeve. The breast band has a fastener enabling the breast band length to be adjusted; the breast band is adjustable vertically and horizontally. Embodiments hold the breasts down with the breast band slidably retained within the garment, providing support and protecting the wearer from discomfort or injury from excessive upward and downward breast movement. The breast band alleviates upward and downward movement of the breasts and does not cinch, flatten or compress the wearer's breasts against the chest wall, nor lift and bold the breasts. The garment is attractive and can be worn alone or under another garment.

Abstract: A clothing is disclosed and includes a top configured to cover a user's upper body, the top including a breast area configured to cover a user's breasts; a pair of bra cups embedded into the top and positioned on the breast area, the bra cups configured to support the user's breasts; at least one elastic band positioned adjacent to the bra cups and on the breast area, the elastic band configured to aid the bra cups in supporting to the user's breasts; and a perspiration promoting material positioned within the top and configured to cause the user to perspire.

Abstract: A shoulder support device includes a flexible elastic continuous ring band and a slide adjustably movable on the band that divides the band into a pair of loops defining arm receiving apertures that are cupped over the curved deltoid region of each shoulder of a wearer to pull the shoulders back and downward under tension to achieve a correct posture position. The slide is moveable to adjust tension distributed to the wearer's shoulders. When the slide is positioned midway between the shoulder blades at the back of the wearer, it provides equal distributed tension on both shoulders. Moving the slide more to the left or more to the right allows the wearer to selectively adjust which shoulder receives more tension.

Abstract: A garment (1) for providing compressive forces to a torso to help eliminate or reduce swelling caused by an accumulation of lymph fluid in the torso region. An embodiment of the present invention includes an outer covering (10) of compression fabric, wide shoulder straps (22, 24), front and back panels of compression fabric (12, 14, 16, 18), a non-rolling rib band (72), axilla gussets (82, 84), and both front closure (40) and back closure (50). The garment may also include one or more princess seams (102, 104, 102?, 104?) so as to enable the front panel(s) to encapsulate and hold the user's breasts in place at the same time that compressive forces are applied, as well as one or more front shelves (132, 134) in the front panel(s) for providing upward compressive support to the breast tissue, thereby holding the tissue in a proper neutral position so that inward compressive forces acting on the tissue provide maximum effect.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a brassiere for disabled women not having the full use of both upper extremities, wherein the brassiere is adapted to be put on, removed, and adjusted by the wearer alone. In one form, the brassiere is front closing and includes a ring coupled to one front side and a tongue coupled to the other front side. The tongue is adapted to include spaced interlocking fasteners attached to its surface such that the tongue may be looped through the ring, folded onto itself with the fasteners aligned, and the fasteners locked together around the ring by a wearer having the decreased use of one or both arms.

Abstract: Non-woven, non-shiny, and substantially transparent clothing straps and a method for their use with apparel worn under loosely fitting sleeveless outer garments, undergarments used with sheer outer clothing or outer clothing having narrow shoulder straps or cutouts therein which would otherwise readily reveal undergarment straps, and other apparel to give a strapless illusion to it. The straps are made from flexible, resilient, but non-stretchable material and could be permanently attached to a garment or made to be easily and readily detached from it. In the most preferred present invention embodiment the straps would be made from a substantially non-stretchable polyurethane material. Optionally, even though the strap material itself would resist longitudinal folding, a short stretchable extension could be inserted between one end of the strap and the garment to which it is attached to help the strap resist twisting and lay in an essentially flat, more comfortable and discrete position during use.

Abstract: A bra for large breasted women which is both comfortable to wear and allows a user to engage in vigorous physical activity without experiencing discomfort to her breasts. The bra comprises a pair of molded cups, each of which is mounted in a non-stretchable harness member that encircles the breast giving it firm support. Also attached to the harness member is a soft, stretchable cloth cover. The cover both enhances the appearance of the bra and provides additional support for the breast. The two harness members, which are generally mirror images of each other, are removably fastened together in the front by a heavy duty zipper. Rearwardly, each individual harness member is supported by three straps which encircle the user's body. Among these straps are an elastic waistband, a wide shoulder strap of adjustable length, and an underarm strap.

Abstract: A postural bra for supporting and protecting a woman's breasts, helps prevent and correct a tendency of hyperkyphosis of the backbone. The postural bra comprises a bra body (12), provided in its central front part with vertical shoulder lifters (14A, 14B) and of a posterior support (16). The bra body contains, in its lateral edges, identical straps (18A, 18B) which are connected at one of their edges, to upper parts of the vertical folds (20A, 20B) of the referred posterior support (16) and, in the other edges, to the lower parts of the horizontal folds (22A, 22B) of the referred posterior support (16), from which point adjusting straps (24A, 24B) are lengthened.
