A method as claimed in claim 7, further comprising following applying the fastening unit to the respective free end region of the chest band, removing the wing panel from the chest band. 9. A method as claimed in claim 8, further comprising forming the bra by molding an outward ply to an inward ply to define the bra; providing the chest band at the inward ply and applying the fastening unit without applying the outward ply on the inward ply; and after removing the wing panel, applying the outward ply over the inward ply. 10. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the fastening element is applied to the free end region of the chest band by at least one of adhesive, adhesive coated tape, ironing induced fastening with adhesive coated tape, ultrasonic welding and stitching. 11. A method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the chest band includes an inward ply and the wing panel and the fastening element being applied to the free end region of one side of the inward ply; the method further comprising, after removing the wing panel from the chest band, applying an outward ply over the inward ply at the chest band at a location uncovering the fastening element at the free end region; and prior to applying the outer ply, forming a plurality of apertures in the outer ply through which respective fastening elements of the fastening unit will project above the outward facing side of the outward ply and each aperture is of a width generally corresponding to a width of the respective fastening element projecting through the aperture, wherein there are no seams across the outer ply at the plurality of apertures. 12. A method of producing a bra comprising: forming a bra of breast cups and of respective chest bands extending from each of the breast cups, wherein each chest band has a respective distal free end and extends toward the other chest band, and each chest band having a free end region at one side thereof and near the distal free end thereof; applying a fastening unit to the distal free end region of one side of the chest band, forming an outward ply for the bra and chest band and applying the outward ply over an inward ply of the chest band and over the fastening unit on the inward ply and prior to applying the outer ply, forming a plurality of apertures in the outer ply through which respective fastening elements of the fastening unit will project above an outward facing side of the outward ply and each aperture is of a width generally corresponding to a width of the respective fastening element projecting through the aperture, wherein there are no seams across the outer ply at the plurality of apertures. 13. A method as claimed in claim 12, further comprising applying a wing panel and the fastening element to the free end region of one side of the inward ply; the method further comprising, after removal of the wing panel from the chest band, applying an outward ply over the inward ply at the chest band at a location uncovering the fastening element at the distal free end region. 14. A molded brassiere comprising: an interior brassiere panel of at least one ply of a moldable material; an exterior brassiere panel of at least one ply of a moldable material, wherein at least one of said plies of said exterior brassiere panel is contiguous with at least one of said plies of said interior brassiere panel, and wherein said panels are affixed together; and a clasp adhered between said interior and exterior brassiere panels for capturing the clasp intermediate of said interior and exterior brassiere panels, wherein said clasp is affixed to and at least in part projects from one of said interior and said exterior brassiere panels, and wherein one of said interior and exterior brassiere panels includes an aperture for that part of said clasp that projects from said interior and exterior brassiere panels to extend through. 15.
