Support bra

Abstract

The present invention provides a breast support apparatus. The apparatus further comprises at least one layered front portion constructed to form two breast cups. Each breast cup is configured and dimensioned to hold a female breast and defined by an upper section, a lower section and a side edge. Attached to each breast cup is a support member made of a strong flexible rigid material that is configured and dimensioned to accommodate at least the lower section of each breast cup. The present invention further comprises at least one layered continuous back portion, having opposing sides. Each opposing side is attached to a side edge of a breast cup. The back portion includes an inner layer made of a foam material that molds to the shape of the body during movement. At least one cooperating fastening members is attached to the internal peripheral edge proximately near the mid-section of each breast cup such that when the cooperating fastening members are secured the support member uplifts each breast.
