Abstract
A breast cup for a support garment is provided. The breast cup includes a support cup portion, a first gusset extending between an upper-lateral quadrant and a lower-lateral quadrant of the support cup portion, and a second gusset extending between an upper-medial quadrant and a lower-medial quadrant of the support cup portion. The first and second gussets may both comprise a lower modulus of elasticity than the support cup portion and may be configured to expand from a first configuration to a second configuration. When integrated into a support garment, the breast cup may be coupled to an under band portion via a lower gusset that is configured to expand from a first configuration to a second configuration. When worn, the first and second gussets and the lower gusset facilitate a comfortable and supportive fit as the shape of a wearer's breast changes due to adjustments in tension.
