Abstract

A brassiere with selective cup modification has adjustable straps with clips, hooks for securing it around the waist of a user, cups to support the breasts, and a bone structure in both the cups and the wings to give the garment a semi-rigid structure. Between the cups, there is a center gore with hole sliders and keyholes. The brassiere has a gel reservoir bag in each wing that can send gel to an expandable bag in the cup through a tube. This adds balance to the bra and adjustability. This gel movement and other structural parts can be changed using a set of mechanical wheels, sliders, and a pair of keys. These keys fit into the keyholes, giving control over the features of the bra, similar to the mechanism that pulls the straps back. The brassiere also has different tracks, wheels, valves, and layers of fabric to ensure the gel moves and spreads evenly and that the breasts appear symmetrical.

A brassiere with selective cup modification comprising:

a pair of straps comprising a first strap and a second strap each having a respective first adjustable clip and second adjustable clip;
a pair of hooks comprising a first plurality of hooks and a second plurality of hooks each secured to a respective distal end of a pair of wings comprising a first wing and a second wing;
a pair of cups comprising a first cup secured to a proximal end of the first wing and a second cup secured to a proximal end of a second wing;
a bone structure comprising a plurality of bones disposed within a periphery of the pair of cups and disposed within the pair of wings thereby providing the brassiere with a semi-rigid framework;
a center gore disposed between the pair of cups configured to separate each cup;
a first hole slider disposed within the gore and adjacent a proximal edge of the first cup;
a second hole slider disposed within the gore and adjacent a proximal edge of the second cup, the second hole slider being positioned in mirror opposite to the first hole slider;
a first keyhole disposed within the gore and centrally subjacent the first hole slider and the second hole slider;
and,
a second keyhole disposed within the gore and centrally superjacent the first hole slider and the second hole slider;
and,
wherein each of the first adjustable clip and the second adjustable clip permits a user to adjust a length of the first strap and the second strap;
wherein the plurality of hooks permit the user to secure the brassiere about a torso of the user when the first plurality of hooks and the second plurality of hooks are removably engaged;
wherein the first cup and the second cup are each configured to support and retain a respective breast of the user;
wherein a distal end of the first strap and the second strap is secured to a respective upper side of the first wing and the second wing and adjacent the respective first plurality of hooks and the second plurality of hooks;
wherein a proximal end of each respective strap is secured to an upper side of each respective cup;
and,
wherein the brassiere is adapted to provide an outward appearance of symmetrical breasts for a user with a pair of different-sized breasts.
