Abstract A combined brassiere and slip, having the softness, lightness in weight and look of lingerie, in which the brassiere is formed with a front piece, which may be lined with a like piece, so cut and seam-joined at critical cut areas as to provide two fulled cups having stretch at opposed angular stretch lines, vertical stretch where it is not desired at the top of the cups, from their peaks inwardly, being resisted, whereas below the peaks of the cups and outwardly thereof, the cup fabric has stretch in the line of stretch resistance st the tops of the cups, or substantially so. This is the result of cutting the cup area of the fabric into three lower-marginal widely separated points, and moving the two outermost points into juxtaposition with the third and central point, where the points are seamed together and providing a rounded pair of fulled cups having the contradistinguished stretch lines aforesaid, then connecting a back band and skirt assembly, the latter preferably being lined as well as the brassiere element.

A brassiere grament comprising a fabric having normally a line of stretch opposed to a line of resistance to said stretch, the brassiere thereof being a unitary piece of said fabric having upper and lower areas, said brassiere comprising two wing sections each formed with an upper marginal curve extending to an outwardly and downwardly directed section with an outer angular margin, and a relatively narrow V-shaped wing-connecting section with its width throughout substantially less than that of either wing section and having its lower end above ends of deep wedgeshaped lower sections of said wings, said wings when connected to said wing connecting section providing brassiere cups each having a lower area with stretch in approximately normal vertical direction when the brassiere is in position on a area and with an upper area with stretch angularly with respect to said lower area.

A brassiere grament comprising a fabric having normally a line of stretch opposed to a line of resistance to said stretch, the brassiere thereof being a unitary piece of said fabric having upper and lower areas, said brassiere comprising two wing sections each formed with an upper marginal curve extending to an outwardly and downwardly directed section with an outer angular margin, and a relatively narrow V-shaped wing-connecting section with its width throughout substantially less than that of either wing section and having its lower end above ends of deep wedgeshaped lower sections of said wings, said wings when connected to said wing connecting section providing brassiere cups each having a lower area with stretch in approximately normal vertical direction when the brassiere is in position on a area and with an upper area with stretch angularly with respect to said lower area.
