Abstract

A support garment may have a seamless support garment configured for use by a person. The garment may have first and second arm openings configured to be about 0.5 to 1 times greater than a diameter of an average user's arms; a neck opening configured to be about 2 to 4 times greater than a diameter of an average user's neck; a portion of the arm openings and neck opening opposite each other form integral shoulder straps; a band configured to fit at an under bust of the user defining a torso opening; two cup regions positioned above the band to receive the user's breasts, two cup regions positioned above the band to receive the user's breasts, the cup regions being 100-200 percent thicker at a portion of the cup configured for placement of the user's nipple and tapering to a garment body thickness as the taper extends away from the nipple portion; wherein, the support garment is configured from a material having between 50-200 percent elasticity.

         8 . The support garment of  claim 1 , wherein a middle area is configured to separate each breast region by the cups while maintaining direct or close contact with the user. 
     
     
         9 . The support garment of  claim 8 , wherein the direct or close contact with the user in the middle area is achieved by at least one of knitting construction, padding, pleating, rouching and cushions. 
     
     
         10 . The support garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment material is selected from the list consisting of anti-bacterial or antimicrobial materials, polyester, polyester-vinyl composites, vinyl, acrylics, linen, merino wool, hemp, anti-moisture, moisture wicking, breathable fabrics, polyester, polypropylene, merino wool, wool, nylon, micromodal, bamboo, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The support garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment is impregnated or coated in materials selected for properties selected from the group: cooling, anti-burning, anti-itch, radiation blocking, anti-radio frequency (RF) radiation blocking, electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) blocking, ultraviolet radiation blocking, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         12 . The support garment of  claim 11 , wherein the garment material comprises an EMF blocking and radiation blocking material having 2-15 percent by total composition weight silver fiber and 2-15 percent total composition weight hydrocortisone anti-itch cooling gel coatings. 
     
     
         13 . A method of making a seamless support garment of  claim 1 , comprising one of the steps of: 3-D printing; sewing; circular knitting, flat knitting; and bonding techniques. 
     
     
         14 . A support garment, comprising:
