Women's Lingerie that Visually Reduces the Size of the Busts
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the technical field of clothing, and in particular
to a women's
lingerie that visually reduces the size of the busts.
BACKGROUND
In recent years, under the influence of fashion trends, women's demand for
brassiere
products has changed. They no longer blindly hope to make their busts fuller
through
brassiere products, but hope to have a more visually graceful bust shape and
follow the trend
of flat busts through brassiere products.
Furthermore, for women with plump busts, on the one hand, their control
ability for
popular clothing is low and the visual effect for wearing such clothing is
poor; on the other
hand, they are likely to receive unnecessary attention from others or
unnecessary
misunderstandings may occur during outdoor activities, thus causing much
harassment to
such women.
In addition, brassiere with good supporting capacity is usually thick, heavy
and airtight,
while light and permeable brassiere tends to have poor supporting capacity,
which can easily
cause back pain and other discomforts due to excessive shoulder strap
pressure.
Therefore, one technical problem to be solved urgently by those skilled in the
art is to
provide a women's lingerie with advantages of visual reduction of the size of
the busts,
lightness, air permeability and good supporting capacity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of this, this invention aims to provide a women's lingerie with
advantages of
visual reduction of the size of the busts, lightness, air permeability and
good supporting
capacity.
To achieve the above objective, the technical solution of this invention is as
follows.
A women's lingerie comprises shoulder straps, wings and two symmetrically
arranged
cups. An upper edge of an individual cup and an upper edge of a respective
wing are
connected by a respective shoulder strap. A lower edge of the individual cup
is provided with
darts. A shape of the darts is set corresponding to the pulling force of the
respective shoulder
strap. The individual cup bulges toward the side away from the body to form a
bust
accommodation space on the side close to the body. The bust accommodation
space has a
1
Date Recue/Date Received 2020-10-13

CA 03096912 2020-10-13
semi-ellipsoidal lower space and a semi-ellipsoidal upper space. The
eccentricity of the lower
space is smaller than that of the upper space. The maximum width of the lower
space is larger
than that of the upper space, and the volume of the lower space is greater
than that of the
upper space.
Furthermore, the women's lingerie further includes a center front. The center
front is
located between the two cups. The two wings are arranged symmetrically on both
sides of the
two cups. The cups, shoulder straps, center front and wings are connected as a
whole.
Furthermore, the individual cup includes a lining cut piece and decorative
material. The
lining cut piece is located inside the women's lingerie. The decorative
material is located
outside the women's lingerie.
Furthermore, the lining cut piece and the decorative material have the same
shape as the
individual cup.
Further, the darts extend radially upward along the lower edge of the
individual cup.
Further, the women's lingerie also includes a rubber band and a wire. The
rubber band is
arranged along the lower edge of the respective wing. The rubber band extends
continuously
from one end to the other end of the respective wing in the horizontal
direction and penetrates
the lower edge of the women's lingerie.
Furthermore, a cup edge is provided on the upper part of the respective wing,
the cup
edge is configured to be connected with the lower edge of the individual cup,
and the lower
edge of the individual cup is continuously connected with the cup edge of the
respective wing.
Furthermore, the lower edge of the individual cup and the cup edge of the
respective
wing are connected by seam binding.
Furthermore, the wire is arranged along the lower edge of the individual cup.
Furthermore, on the extension line of the shoulder belt, the darts are the
largest, and with
the extension line of the shoulder belt as the center, the darts gradually
decrease towards both
sides.
Compared with the prior art, the women's lingerie of this invention has the
following
advantages.
(1) The women's lingerie described in this application forms a relatively
reduced upper
space and a relatively expanded lower space inside the individual cup through
the
arrangement of the individual cup. The upper space and the lower space
cooperate to form a
bust accommodation space. When wearing, the user can put most of the muscles
of the bust
into the lower space of the individual cup, and the bust is supported by the
connecting rubber
band and the wire at the bottom of the individual cup to define the shape of
the bust. At this
2
Date Recue/Date Received 2020-10-13

CA 03096912 2020-10-13
time, the bust is concentrated towards the lower space, thus achieving the
visual effect of bust
size reduction.
(2) In addition, the connecting rubber band and the wires at the bottom of the
cups can
work together to hold the lower edge of the busts, provide support for the
busts, raise the
busts, and prevent the busts from sagging.
Therefore, the lady's brassier described in this application cannot only
reduce the size of
the busts visually, but also wrap the busts well and provide sufficient
support for the busts;
meanwhile, the lining cut piece and decorative material are made of elastic
permeable fabric,
so that the lady's brassier has the supporting function as well as the
advantages of lightness,
air permeability, and comfortable feeling.
