Brassiere having scooped back band

1. A brassiere comprising:

a pair of interconnected fabric breast cups; and

a pair of back wings, wherein

each back wing is attached to a breast cup at a first end and configured to be releasably attached to the other back wing at a second end and wherein each back wing comprises four fabric panels with at least two fabric panels attached end to end,

two panels closest to the fabric breast cup have a lower elasticity than two of the remaining panels,

a portion of the panels overlap at each attachment of two panels,

the panels are constructed such that a top surface of each panel slopes in a downward direction starting from an end closest to the breast cup and extending to the end closest to the second end, and

a bottom surface of each panel slopes in a downward direction starting from the end closest to the breast cup and extending to the end closest to the second end.

2. The brassiere of claim 1 , wherein boning is contained within a pocket created by overlapping material at each attachment of two panels.

3. The brassiere of claim 1 , further comprising a strap connecting each fabric breast cup to a section of the top surface of the panel located furthest from the fabric breast cup.

4. The brassiere of claim 3 , further comprising an asymmetric ring connecting each strap to each back wing, wherein the ring is asymmetrical along a longitudinal axis of the strap.

5. The brassiere of claim 4 , wherein said asymmetric ring is heart-shaped.

6. The brassiere of claim 4 , wherein a wider section of each said asymmetric ring is oriented in a direction toward the second end of the back wing.

7. The brassiere of claim 1 , wherein each back wing is configured to be releasably attached to the other back wing by a hook and eye closure.

8. The brassiere of claim 1 , wherein each fabric breast cup comprises at least two fabric panels.

9. The brassiere of claim 1 , wherein the top surface of each panel has a steeper slope than the corresponding bottom surface of the panel.
