8. The bra according to claim 1 , wherein the bridge portion includes an extension limiting device arranged between the two cups, the extension limiting device and the means for adjusting the distance between the cups adapted to limit a maximum gap between the two cups in the uncoupling position of the first fastening element and the second fastening element.
9. The bra according to claim 8 , wherein the extension limiting device includes at least an elastic textile piece for which the elasticity limit permits defining the maximum gap between of the cups.
10. A bra comprising:
two cups linked together on inner sides of the two cups by a bridge portion and comprising an adjustment device configured to adjust a distance between the two cups located at the bridge portion and selectively reduce or extend the distance between the cups, the adjustment device comprising a first fastening element and a second fastening element arranged on either side of the bridge portion and configured to fasten the two cups together, wherein the first fastening element and the second fastening element are movable with respect to each other between a coupling position in which the two cups are brought closer together and an uncoupling position in which the two cups are moved apart, as a result of a pressure (F) on a side portion of the two cups opposite the bridge portion in a direction of the bridge portion; and
a guiding device comprising a plate for moving at least one of the first fastening element or the second fastening element when applying said pressure (F), where the guiding device delimits a guiding path between the first fastening element and the second fastening element in which at least one of the first fastening element or the second fastening element is engaged during a movement of the first fastening element and the second fastening element towards the coupling position.
11. The bra according to claim 10 , wherein the guiding device includes a positive guiding slope progressing between the first fastening element and the second fastening element that define the guiding path required to ensure a guided coupling of the first fastening element and the second fastening element.
12. The bra according to claim 10 , comprising a securing device configured to secure at least one of the first fastening element or the second fastening element on the guiding path during the movement of the first fastening element and the second fastening element toward the coupling position.
13. The bra according to claim 12 , wherein said securing device includes a magnet located opposite at least one of the first fastening element or the second fastening element with respect to the guiding path.
14. The bra according to claim 13 , wherein the first fastening element includes a guided hook and the second fastening element comprises a guiding eyelet, where the guiding device is assembled with the guiding eyelet, and the guiding path configured to receive the guided hook.
15. The bra according to claim 14 , wherein the bridge portion includes an extension limiting device arranged between the cups, the extension limiting device and the adjustment device adapted to limit a maximum gap between the two cups in the uncoupling position of the first fastening element and the second fastening element.
16. The bra according to claim 15 , wherein the extension limiting device includes at least an elastic textile piece for which the elasticity limit permits defining the maximum gap between of the cups.
17. The bra according to claim 10 , wherein the first fastening element includes a guided hook, and the second fastening element comprises a guiding eyelet.
18. The bra according to claim 10 , wherein the first fastening element includes a guided hook and the second fastening element comprises a guiding eyelet, where the guiding device is assembled with the guiding eyelet, and the guiding path configured to receive the guided hook.
