Abstract
An upper-torso support garment includes an outer layer and an inner layer that together define interlayer compartments for retaining objects such as breast pumps or prosthetics. A material extension spans between middle regions of the outer and inner layers from a neck-opening edge to a torso-opening edge, creating separate chambers and providing increased volume and retention. The outer layer includes paired breast-covering portions and a lower elastic section secured to an underband, while the inner layer includes aligned breast-covering portions with openings sized to receive a pump flange. Combinations of elastomeric, mesh, spacer-knit, and molded textile panels impart elasticity, support, breathability, and comfort suitable for everyday wear and physical activity.
