Abstract

A bustier garment may have first and second support structures that are housed within a housing. The first and second support structures may be positioned within the housing such that each of the respective support structures correspond to a position between a center and a bottom of a wearer's first and second respective breasts when the bustier garment is worn by a wearer. In one embodiment, the bustier garment may include first and second support structures that are positioned and oriented within a housing such that the respective first and second support structures are substantially perpendicular to a vertical midline of the garment and/or substantially parallel to a lower edge of the garment.

Claims (41)

1. A bustier garment comprising:

a first support structure, the first support structure being positioned within a housing such that the first support structure corresponds to a position between a center and a bottom of a wearer's first breast when the bustier garment is worn by a wearer, the first support structure including a first side extension configured to correspond to a first side of a wearer's chest when the bustier garment is worn by the wearer, the first side of the wearer's chest not including the wearer's first breast;

a second support structure, the second support structure being positioned within the housing such that the second support structure corresponds to a position between a center and a bottom of a wearer's second breast when the bustier garment is worn by the wearer, the second support structure including a second side extension configured to correspond to a second side of a wearer's chest when the bustier garment is worn by the wearer, the second side of the wearer's chest not including the wearer's second breast; and

the housing, the housing being configured to house the first and second support structures and wrap around the wearer's chest, thereby enabling the wearer to wear the bustier garment.

2. The bustier garment of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a closure mechanism positioned between the first and second support structures.

3. The bustier garment of claim 1 , wherein the first and second support structures comprise multiple pieces.

4. The bustier garment of claim 1 , wherein the first and second support structures are contoured to accommodate a positioning of the wearer's first and second respective breasts therein when the garment is worn by the wearer.

5. The bustier garment of claim 1 , wherein the first and second support structures retain their shape independently of the housing.

6. The bustier garment of claim 1 , the first and second support structures further comprising:

one or more perforations.

7. The bustier garment of claim 1 , the housing further comprising:

a plurality of attachment mechanisms configured to removably attach to one or more embellishments to the garment.

8. The bustier garment of claim 1 , each of the first and second support structures further comprising:

an outer extension, the outer extension being positioned on an edge of the respective support structure furthest away from a vertical midline of the garment and extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the respective first and second support structures.

9. A bustier garment comprising:

a first support structure, the first support structure being positioned and oriented within a first breast cup portion of a housing such that the first support structure is substantially perpendicular to a vertical midline of the garment, wherein a portion of the first support structure extends beyond the first breast cup portion of the housing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the vertical midline of the garment;

a second support structure, the second support structure being positioned and oriented within a second breast cup portion of the housing such that the second support structure is substantially perpendicular to the vertical midline of the garment, wherein a portion of the second support structure extends beyond the second breast cup portion of the housing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the vertical midline of the garment; and

the housing, the housing being configured to house the first and second support structures.

10. The bustier garment of claim 9 , wherein the first support structure includes a first extension that is substantially perpendicular to the first support structure and the second support structure includes a second extension that is substantially perpendicular to the second support structure.

11. The bustier garment of claim 9 , wherein the housing includes a closure mechanism positioned between the first and second support structures.

12. The bustier garment of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first support structure and the second support structure comprise multiple pieces.

13. The bustier garment of claim 9 , wherein the first support structure and the second support structure are contoured to accommodate a positioning of a wearer's breast therein.

14. The bustier garment of claim 9 , wherein the first and second support structures retain their shape independently of the housing.

15. The bustier garment of claim 9 , the first and second support structures further comprising:

one or more perforations.

16. The bustier garment of claim 9 , the first and second support structures further comprising:

a outer extension, the outer extension being positioned on an edge of the respective support structure furthest away from a vertical midline of the garment and extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the respective support structure.

17. A bustier garment comprising:

a first support structure, the first support structure being positioned and oriented within a first breast cup portion of a housing such that the first support structure is substantially parallel to a lower edge of the garment, wherein a portion of the first support structure extends beyond the first breast cup portion of the housing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the vertical midline of the garment;

a second support structure, the second support structure being positioned and oriented within a second breast cup portion of the housing such that the second support structure is substantially parallel to a lower edge of the garment, wherein a portion of the second support structure extends beyond the second breast cup portion of the housing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the vertical midline of the garment; and

the housing, the housing being configured to house the first and second support structures.

18. The bustier garment of claim 17 , wherein the first support structure includes a first extension that is substantially perpendicular to the first support structure and the second support structure includes a second extension that is substantially perpendicular to the second support structure.

19. The bustier garment of claim 17 , wherein the housing includes a closure mechanism positioned between the first and second support structures.

20. The bustier garment of claim 17 , wherein at least one of the first support structure and the second support structure comprise multiple pieces.
