<p>A support member (rib, 2) for a lower edge region of a bra cup is disclosed that has an elongate body portion (23) that is curved. The curvature varies in three dimensions as it extends between medial (22) and lateral (21) ends of the support member being separated by a transition region (233) that is between about 25% and 40% along the length of the support member from the lateral end. The curvature may reduce towards the lateral end. The elongate portion twists about its axis of elongation at the transition region. A bra cup comprising the support member is also disclosed that has a lower edge that follows the curvature of the support member. The bra cup can be formed by embedding the support member between two padded portions and fusing the support member in place.</p> |
