Abstract
An adjustable brassiere is provided which includes two independent breast retaining cups, each of said cups having at least one adjusting band attached thereto. Fastening means are provided which are attached to at least one end of each of the adjusting bands. A body encircling band is attached to the breast retaining cups along the bottom edges thereof and it includes adjustable back closure means, which are adapted to permit the back width of the brassiere to be adjusted to accommodate different wearers. Securing means are provided at multiple positions along said body encircling band. Each of the fastening means is adapted to engage the securing means at at least one of the multiple positions. The volume of each of the breast retaining cups and the amount of breast separation and garment coverage is determined by the position at which the fastening means engages the securing means.
