Abstract
A brassiere is provided in which left and right bust cups are fixed at their circumferentially outermost sides to body-encircling side panels which fasten in the normal manner. Front and rear overlapping diaphragm panels, fashioned of stretchable material, extending across the front of the brassiere, are stitched at both of their left and right ends to the side panels and are stitched together at their substantially straight lowermost edges. The diaphragm bands include two generally upwardly concave segments, each of which intersect at an apex located approximately centrally of the brassiere. The bottom of the right bust cup is stitched along its lower edge to the upper edge of the right upwardly concave segment of the front diaphragm band. The bottom of the left bust cup is stitched along its lower edge to the upper edge of the left upwardly concave segment of the rear diaphragm band. The bust cups and diaphragm bands are otherwise unattached thereby permitting individual compensation by the bust cups for non-symmetrical movements of the wearer.
