Abstract (en)
A bra (10) includes first and second cups (12, 14) that are laterally spaced-apart. The first and second cups (12, 14) each have upper edges. First and second support straps (34, 36) are selectively coupled to the upper edges of the first and second cups (12, 14). The first and second support straps (34, 36) each include a first end (38) that has a first coupling feature (40) and a body portion (46) that has a second coupling feature (48). The second coupling feature (48) is a reciprocal coupling feature to the first coupling feature (40). Each of the first and second support straps (34, 36) also includes a second end (42) that has a retention feature (44), first and second fabrics (152, 156), a pliable material (154), and a fastening material (158). The fastening material (158) includes the first and second coupling features (40, 48). The first fabric (152), the pliable material (154), the second fabric (156), and the fastening material (158) are integrally formed to define a laminated support strap (162) of each of the first and second support straps (34, 36).
