Abstract

In the field of breast support arrangements there is a need for an improved breast support arrangement which adapts as a wearer moves to provide optimal support and comfort through a range of a wearer's movements. A breast support arrangement (10) comprises a first breast cup (12) which is connected with a first wing portion (14), and a second breast cup (16) which is connected with a second wing portion (18). The first and second breast cups (12, 16) and wing portions (14, 18) are interconnected by a connecting member (20). The connecting member (20) passes from the first breast cup (12) to the second breast cup (16) via the second wing portion (18) then the first wing portion (14); is moveable relative to each of the first and second wing portions (14, 18); and is or includes an elastic member (22) to draw the first breast cup (12) towards the second wing portion (18), the second breast cup (16) towards the first wing portion (14), and the first and second wing portions (14, 18) towards one another.
