Abstract
A lightweight brassiere is described that provides intended support to the user while increasing comfort by its structure and/or shape, and also by reduced weight. In particular a cup is made of a spacer fabric to provide the desired support at a minimum weight. Additional features include use of Ti-alloy materials in place of traditionally steel components, a narrower fabric channel for the underwire, and elimination of stitching by using sonic seal wherever possible.
