Abstract

A bra assembly including an eyelet with stretch knit fabric of no less than 1.6″ and no more than 2″ in diameter, and the outer edges sewn into the bra no larger than 4″ in diameter, which is the standard size of the average pump flange. In an illustrative embodiment, the eyelet is not the exact size of the areola, but specifically sized for access of an infant's mouth without contact with the fabric. This eyelet is added to the bra through additive manufacturing for custom eyelet location. The fabric in question is knit stretch fabric sewed in a circle with the knit going from the center to the edges in a sunburst pattern for even stretch.
