Abstract
A bra including a closure system, the closure system including a first layered fabric body, a second layered fabric body, a loop assembly secured to the first layered fabric body, and a hook assembly secured to the second layered fabric body. The hook assembly is configured to interface with the loop assembly to secure the first layered fabric body to the second layered fabric body, and the first layered fabric body includes a flexible supporting layer, where the flexible supporting layer is configured to provide rigidity to the second layered fabric body such that the second layered fabric body maintains a flat configuration when it is secured to the first layered fabric body.
Claims21
A bra, comprising
- a first panel and a second panel;
- and
- a closure system configured to join the first panel and the second panel, the closure system comprising:
- a first layered fabric body comprising a top layer, a middle layer, and a bottom layer;
- a second layered fabric body;
- a loop assembly secured to the first layered fabric body, wherein the loop assembly comprises loops, wherein a first portion of each loop is disposed between the top layer and the middle layer, and wherein a second portion of each loop extends through the top layer;
- and
- a hook assembly secured to the second layered fabric body, wherein the hook assembly is configured to interface with the loop assembly to secure the first layered fabric body to the second layered fabric body.
A bra, comprising
- a first panel and a second panel;
- and
- a closure system configured to join the first panel and the second panel, the closure system comprising:
- a first layered fabric body comprising a top layer, a middle layer, and a bottom layer;
- a second layered fabric body;
- a loop assembly secured to the first layered fabric body, wherein the loop assembly comprises loops having an aspect ratio of 2:1 and extending perpendicular outward from the top layer, wherein each loop comprises a first end and a second end, and wherein each loop is coupled the top layer at the first end and at the second end,
- a hook assembly secured to the second layered fabric body, wherein the hook assembly is configured to interface with the loop assembly to secure the first layered fabric body to the second layered fabric body.
A bra, comprising:
- a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer that define a first bra cup and a second bra cup, wherein the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer are made of a first material;
- a moldable contour shaper configured to contour to a wearer's breast tissue,
- wherein the moldable contour shaper is disposed between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer,
- wherein a width of the moldable contour shaper at a first portion is greater than a width of the moldable contour shaper at a second portion, and
- wherein the moldable contour shaper comprises a second material that is different than the first material.
