Abstract
A brassiere having a pair of breast cups, shoulder straps and a chest band, wherein each of the breast cups can be attached to the shoulder straps using one of a plurality of fasteners, most typically standard nursing clips, with each fastener providing for a different fit. A first fastener could be attached directly to the breast cup and used to provide a snug fit, while a second fastener could be attached to the breast cup via an extension which provides a much looser fit. Using the second extended fastener would, for example, allow the bra to be used with an in-bra breast pump. The first fastener could be used to fit the bra properly when the in-bra breast pump is not in place.
