An improved brassiere is disclosed that provides a high level of comfort, wide ranging adjustability and improved breast support while minimizing fatigue and improving the posture of the user using a support system which includes strategically attached shoulder straps which cross in the back at a unique swivel. Each shoulder strap is detachably attached at one end to the top of a breast cup, and attached at the opposite end to the side of the opposite cup. An adjustable coupling is provided between the cups. The adjustable swivel includes a pair of pivotally attached short flat hollow sleeves for slidably receiving the shoulder straps. Because the shoulder straps are slidably disposed in the sleeves of the swivel, it will move up or down slightly as the wearer moves, stretches, bends over, etc. In the preferred embodiment, no boning, wire or elastic is used. Instead, cotton piping is used around the lower breast cups for support, wide cotton belting is used for the straps, and the entire framework of the brassiere is constructed of a sturdy cotton fabric that is interlined with fusible fleece and lined with cotton flannel for comfort.
