Abstract
A brassiere comprises two bra cups, each including an inner cup and an outer cup peripherally joined together to form upper, lower, inner side and outer side margins. Each of the outer cups is formed of elastic material and each of the inner cups comprises a segment formed of non-elastic material extending upwards from the lower margin and a yoke formed of elastic material connecting the top and sides of the non-elastic segment to the upper, inner side and outer side margins. Thus, the elastic yoke of the inner cup permits the outer cup to accommodate to the breast of the wearer, while the non-elastic segment of the inner cup provides support in the medial region thereof.
