Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004073431A2] A fusion undergarment, and more particularly a brassiere, having a transparent layer with an inner surface and an outer surface, a support layer having an inner surface and an outer surface, and an adhesive layer for fusing the transparent layer with the support layer. The undergarment provides a balance of comfort, support and sensual appeal. The fusing process comprising the steps of fusing the adhesive layer to the support layer, cutting the fused adhesive-support layer into a desired shape, fusing the cut adhesive-support layer to the transparent layer, forming the breast supporting cup portions of the bra, preferably in a subsequent molding action. When the bra is worn, the support layer extends primarily under a wearer's breasts along a lower and side breast profile providing an optimal balance of comfort and support, while the transparent layer provides the requisite sensual appeal.
