BRASSIERES ## Abstract A brassiere including a brassiere front part including brassier left and right cups adapted to cover the left and right breasts of the brassiere wearer and a left wing and a right wing correspondingly extending from the brassiere left cup and brassiere right cup, the front part defining a brassiere upper edge and a brassiere lower edge connected to a brassiere underband including an brassiere underband adjustor operable to adjust the brassiere underband length to reconfigure the brassiere when breast pumps are positioned between the brassiere wearer breasts and the brassiere wearer side of the brassiere cups to increase pumping efficiency or mitigate movement of breast pumps during expression and collection of breast milk from the brassiere wearer. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A brassiere, comprising: a brassiere front part including a brassiere left cup and a brassiere right cup adapted to cover a left breast and a right breast of a brassiere wearer, said front part defining a brassiere upper edge and a brassiere lower edge; a brassiere underband connected to said brassiere lower edge; and a brassiere underband adjustor coupled to said brassiere underband, wherein said brassiere underband adjustor comprises a first connector part and a second connector part coupled in spaced apart relation on said brassiere underband to dispose said brassiere underband in a first underband length, said first connector part interconnectable with a second connector part at the front center of said brassiere underband in a second underband length. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The brassiere of claim 1, further comprising a brassiere back part including a left wing and a right wing correspondingly extending from said brassiere left cup and said brassiere right cup to a backside of said wearer. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The brassiere of claim 2, further comprising a left shoulder strap or a right shoulder strap having a strap length disposed between a strap front end connected to said brassiere front part and a strap back end connected to said brassiere back part. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The brassiere of claim 1, wherein said brassiere underband comprises an inelastic material or an elastic material. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The brassiere of claim 1, wherein said second underband length lesser than said first underband length. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The brassiere of claim 5, wherein said first underband length allows a breast pump to be positioned between a brassiere wearer breast and a brassiere wearer side of said brassiere left cup and/or said a brassiere right cup. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The brassiere of claim 6, wherein said second underband length mitigates movement of said breast pump positioned between said brassiere wearer breast and said brassiere wearer side of said brassiere left cup and/or said a brassiere right cup. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The brassiere of claim 5, wherein said first connector part selectably interconnectable with any one of a plurality of second connector parts disposed in spaced apart relation along a front portion of said brassiere underband to incrementally reconfigure said brassiere from a first brassiere configuration to each one of a plurality of states of a brassiere second configuration. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The brassiere of claim 1, wherein said brassiere underband adjustor comprises one or more of: a slide, a slide having a hook, a J-hook and eye, a snap, hook and loop, a button and a button hole, and combinations thereof. ### Claim 10 A method of making a brassiere, comprising: producing a brassiere front part including a brassiere left cup and a brassiere right cup adapted to cover a left breast and a right breast of a brassiere wearer, said front part defining a brassiere upper edge and a brassiere lower edge; connecting a brassiere underband to said brassiere lower edge; and coupling a brassiere underband adjustor to said brassiere underband, wherein said brassiere underband adjustor comprises a first connector part and a second connector part coupled in spaced apart relation on said brassiere underband to dispose said brassiere underband in a first underband length, said first connector part interconnectable with a second connector part at the front center of said brassiere underband in a second underband length. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising producing a brassiere back part including a left wing and a right wing correspondingly extending from said brassiere left cup and said brassiere right cup to a backside of said wearer. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising connecting a left shoulder strap or a right shoulder strap between said brassiere front part and said brassiere back part. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein said brassiere underband comprises an inelastic material or an elastic material. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein said second underband length lesser than said first underband length. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein said first underband length allows a breast pump to be positioned between a brassiere wearer breast and a brassiere wearer side of said brassiere left cup and/or said a brassiere right cup. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein said second underband length mitigates movement of said breast pump positioned between said brassiere wearer breast and said brassiere wearer side of said brassiere left cup and/or said a brassiere right cup. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein said first connector part selectably interconnectable with any one of a plurality of second connector parts disposed in spaced apart relation along a portion of said brassiere underband to incrementally reconfigure said brassiere from a first brassiere configuration to each one of a plurality of states of a brassiere second configuration. ### Claim 18 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein said brassiere underband adjustor comprises one or more of: a slide, a slide having a hook, a J-hook and eye, a snap, hook and loop, a button and a button hole, and combinations thereof. ### Claim 19 (depends on 6) The brassiere of claim 6, wherein said second underband length increases efficiency of breast pumping with said breast pump positioned between said brassiere wearer breast and said brassiere wearer side of said brassiere left cup and/or said a brassiere right cup. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The brassiere of claim 15, wherein said second underband length increases efficiency of breast pumping with said breast pump positioned between said brassiere wearer breast and said brassiere wearer side of said brassiere left cup and/or said a brassiere right cup.
