This results in an unavoidable reinforcement or thickening this upper part of the breast cup, which flattens the breast and flattens it down.

The invention avoids these disadvantages, in that the additional parts along the transverse line are attached so that they rest completely against the lower parts of the breast shells in the turned position and reinforce them.

This provides increased support and lifting of the chest. Since the inwardly knockable additional part is attached to the central seam running approximately at the level of the nipples, it can be located in the Adjust the folded state exactly to the lower part of the breast shell.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the drawing. In this shows

Breast shell 12 consists of an outer piece of fabric 17 and a piece of lining fabric 18 attached to it.

On the breast shell 12 is along the lower

Part 14 with the upper part 16 connecting seam at the transverse line 15 an additional part 19 is attached.

This part 19 is designed so that it is down into the position shown in Fig. 3 in contact with the piece of food 18 can be knocked in so that it is completely below the transverse line 15. The additional part 19 can also be converted into that shown in dashed lines in FIGS. 2 and 3 as well as into that shown in FIG 1 in contact with the upper part 16 of the breast shell 12, shown in solid lines to be brought.

Below each breast shell 12, a band 20 runs in the horizontal direction, both ends of which are sewn at 21 on the inside of the strip 11, as shown in FIG. That is between its ends Band 20 free and can pass the free end of the additional part 19, making this better is held in the struck position.

At the center of the free end of the additional part 19, a clasp 22 for receiving a buckle 23 is attached. A shoulder strap 24, as can be seen from FIG. 1, can be attached to the buckle 23, so that the brassiere 10 can be worn with straps when the additional part 19 is in the erect / erected position. If the brassiere Iv is to be worn under strapless clothes,

one the buckle 23 from the clasp 22, whereby the shoulder strap 24 is unhooked, and then puts the Part 19 in the position shown in Figs. The free end part of the part 19 engages under the Band 20, whereby the part 19 is held in the struck position. The attachment of the additional Part 19 on the breast shell 12 along the transverse line 15 enables the additional part 19 without any wrinkling, bulging or bulging of the lower part 14 of the breast shell 12 can be.

The term "brassiere" includes both items of clothing that are usually used as brassiere designated type as well as the corresponding part of a corsetry or another item of clothing, in which the invention can find application.
