Shirt with affixed interior bra

Abstract

A garment with sleeves extending from a torso with a chest portion, a back portion, and a neckline has a built-in bra. The built-in bra includes a cup panel that cradles a user's breasts and an underband joined to a base of the cup panel. The underband extends under the sleeves, encircles the torso, and branches to form a counterclockwise-rotated D-shape that extends to the neckline. The garment improves comfort and makes wearing and taking off the bra easy.
