Removable brassiere cup support

Abstract

Attaching by VELCRO hook and loop-type fasteners a U-shape of shape-imparting construction material about the bottom of a brassiere cup and on the side against the wearer's body, the VELCRO loop-type fastener being on the brassiere so that when the VELCRO hook-type fastener is removed to permit the wearing of the brassiere without breast support and confinement, it is the remaining VELCRO loop-type fastener which is against the wearer's body and this is characterized by a nominally felt presence to the touch contributing to comfort in the wearing of the brassiere.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A construction for optional first and second uses of right and left breast cup supports for a brassiere attached in supporting relation respectively in surrounding relation about a bottom of a cooperating breast cup using VELCRO hook-type and VELCRO loop-type fasteners, said construction comprising for each breast cup a U-shape of shape-imparting construction material serving as each said cup support, a fabric casing in covering relation about said U-shape, a VELCRO hook-type fastener in a strip configuration attached to said fabric casing, and a VELCRO loop-type fastener in a strip configuration attached in an outwardly facing relation in an operative location in surrounding relation about a bottom of a cooperating breast cup and in an interposed position between said brassiere and an upper torso of a wearer of said brassiere, said strips of VELCRO hook-type and VELCRO loop-type fasteners in an exercise of a first option having operative positions in face-to-face contact with each other incident to providing breast cup support to said wearer of said brassiere, and whereby removal of said attached cup support in an exercise of a second option exposes said VELCRO loop-type attached strip which is characterized by a nominally felt presence to the touch contributing to comfort in the wearing of the brassiere.
