Abstract
A circular knit bra is provided. The bra has a torso encircling shape with a torso part having an outer fabric, an inner fabric, and a bra bottom. The outer fabric and the inner fabric each have a lower edge. The outer fabric and the inner fabric form a double layer. An integrally knitted reinforced anchoring chest band at the lower edge of the inner fabric forms a fold line, such that the anchoring chest band is concealed by the outer fabric layer. The bra bottom may have a smooth straight finished edge, a decorative scalloped edge, or a beaded edge mini-turned welt treatment.
