1 . An improved hook-and-loop-type brassiere fastening system, wherein said brassiere fastening system comprises a hook component attached on the surface of a free end of a brassiere and a corresponding loop component attached on a surface of the brassiere wherein said hook component separably engages said loop component, the improvement being that said brassiere fastening system further comprises: 
 a stiffening member attached to the free end of brassiere in a covering relation with a portion of an edge of the brassiere to which the hook component is attached.    
   
   
       2 . The improved hook-and-loop-type brassiere fastening system, wherein said brassiere comprises a torso-encircling member, and a breast-receiving cup attached generally above the torso-encircling member.  
   
   
       3 . The improved hook-and-loop-type brassiere fastening system according to  claim 2 , wherein said torso-encircling member comprises said free end to which said hook component is attached, and said loop component is attached on the surface of the brassiere in a manner permitting adjustable fastening of the torso-encircling member.  
   
   
       4 . The improved hook-and-loop-type brassiere fastening system according to  claim 3 , wherein said brassiere comprises two breast-receiving cups, and wherein said torso-encircling member fastens between the two breast-receiving cups.  
   
   
       5 . The improved hook-and-loop-type brassiere fastening system according to  claim 2 , wherein said brassiere further comprises a shoulder strap, and wherein said shoulder strap comprises said free end to which said hook component is attached, and said loop component is attached on the surface of the brassiere in a manner permitting adjustable fastening of the shoulder strap.  
   
   
       6 . The improved hook-and-loop-type brassiere fastening system according to  claim 1  wherein the outer side of said stiffening member curves at its edges in toward the brassiere.  
   
   
       7 . The improved hook-and-loop-type brassiere fastening system according to  claim 1  wherein said stiffening member is made of plastic.  
   
   
       8 . The improved hook-and-loop-type brassiere fastening system according to  claim 1  wherein the stiffening member is sewn to the free end of the brassiere.  
   
   
       9 . The improved hook-and-loop-type brassiere fastening system according to  claim 5  wherein the hook component of the hook-and-loop-type fastener is sewn to one side of the free end of the bra strap and the stiffening member is sewn to the other side of the free end of the bra strap.  
   
   
       10 . The improved hook-and-loop-type brassiere fastening system according to  claim 1  wherein the stiffening member is exposed.
