Abstract
A breast support garment. The garment comprises right and left fabric panels for overlying the woman'"'"'s right and left breasts, with a relatively flat configuration when the garment is not worn. A first variable-length material strip extends from the right panel beginning at a region between the breasts, continuing along a lower region of the right breast and terminating along a side-facing surface of the right breast. A second variable-length material strip extends as the first material strip but relative to the left breast. A portion of the first material strip comprises an elastic material and they expand when the garment is worn to allow the wearer'"'"'s breasts to be received within cups formed in the right and left panels. The garment provides lifting and upwardly-directed forces on the right and left breasts as the first and second material strips attempt to return to their relaxed state.
