International ClassA41C 003/14AbstractAn improved brassiere includes a pair of fabric breast cups and straps, interconnecting said breast cups and maintaining a spaced apart relationship therebetween, for enabling the breast cups to be worn by a user. Breast pillows are provided for augmenting and uplifting a user's breasts with the breast pillows being formed from a breast implant type gel for simulating breast tissue of the user. The gel is a washable fabric and has a crescent shape with a generally flat top portion sized for uplifting the user's breasts. A pocket in a lower half of each breast cup is provided for receiving the breast pillows. The pockets are sized and positioned, in the breast cups, in order to enable the flat top portions, of the breast pillows, to engage an underside of each of the user's breasts for uplifting thereof. The straps and the breast cups are sized for enabling the uplifted breasts to exert downward and outward pressure on said breast pillows, causing the breast pillows to conform with, augment and simulate the undersides of the user's breasts.Field of SearchBATHING GARMENTSUnderwear Pockets Pads Shoulder Breast supporting member within other garment Removable breast supporter Closable aperture permits access to breast i.e., nursing type With lacteal fluid receptor or shield Single stay individual to one cup with arcuate portion along bottom rim of cup, e.g., U-shaped With stiffened supporting means contacting only lower half of breast With means to separably retain breast-form-supplementing pads With cup-supplementing means to add volume to breast, e.g., pads Applied to only lower half of breast Pads, per se.
