Abstract
An article of women's apparel that includes an outer garment and a bra. The bra is primarily internal to the outer garment. However, there is a reveal region that shows a portion of the bra. In one arrangement, the reveal region is formed by a pair of slits in a front shoulder region of the outer garment and portion of the bra which is revealed is a shoulder strap portion. This region is formed by routing the shoulder strap of the bra through the successive slits. In one arrangement, the outer garment is sleeveless and the reveal region is asymmetrical. A benefit of this arrangement is that a purchaser can determine the presence and type of support without having to approach and perform a detailed inspection of the garment.
