1. A stiffened brassiere comprising: a pair of cups, said pair of cups being joined together,a pair of side bands, said pair of side bands extending out from said pair of cups, anda pair of stiffening wires, said pair of stiffening wires being positioned between at least two superimposed layers of fabric,wherein said at least two superimposed layers of fabric are joined together by an adhesive so said pair of stiffening wires are between said at least two superimposed layers of fabric,wherein said at least two superimposed layers of fabric are cut to form said pair of cups and said pair of side bands so that said pair of cups and said pair of side bands are joined to one another without any external sewn seams; andwherein said at least two superimposed layers of fabric are shaped to form said pair of cups. 2. The brassiere according to claim 1, wherein said pair of stiffening wires are secured to a third layer of fabric inserted between said at least two superimposed layers of fabric. 3. The brassiere according to claim 2, wherein said pair of stiffening wires are housed in a pair of casings that are sewn onto said third layer of fabric. 4. The brassiere according to claim 3, wherein said third layer of fabric has two edges with each edge having an arc shape, said two edges being positioned along a bottom part of each of said pair of cups, and wherein said pair of casings are stitched along said bottom part of each of said pair of cups. 5. The brassiere according to claim 2, wherein said at least two superimposed layers of fabric are elastic. 6. The brassiere according to claim 5, wherein said third layer of fabric is less elastic than said at least two superimposed layers of fabric. 7. The brassiere according to claim 1, wherein each of said pair of stiffening wires is curved and positioned along said bottom part of each of said pair of cups. 8. The brassiere according to claim 1, wherein each of said pair of stiffening wires has a flattened cross section. 9. The brassiere according to claim 1, wherein each of said pair of stiffening wires comprises silicone material housed in a pair of casings to act as a stiffening element. 10. The brassiere according to claim 1, wherein said at least two superimposed layers of fabric are joined together by glue. 11. The brassiere according to claim 1, wherein said at least two superimposed layers of fabric are joined together by heat-bonding means. 12. The brassiere according to claim 1, further comprising a pair of shoulder straps, each of said pair of shoulder straps being connected at a first end to one of said pair of cups and at a second end to said corresponding one of said pair of side bands. 13. A process for manufacturing a brassiere comprising the steps of: superimposing at least two layers of fabric;inserting a pair of stiffening wires between said at least two layers of fabric;joining said at least two layers of fabric together by an adhesive to secure said pair of stiffening wires inside said at least two layers of fabric;shaping a pair of cups from said at least two layers of fabric;cutting said at least two layers of fabric thereby forming a pair of side bands and shaping around said pair of cups so that said pair of side bands and said pair of cups are joined to one another without any external sewn seams; andconnecting fastening elements to each of said pair of side bands. 14. The process according to claim 13, further comprising sewing a pair of casings onto a third layer of fabric, inserting said pair of stiffening wires into said pair of casings, and placing said third layer, pair of casings, and stiffening wires between said at least two layers of fabric prior to said step of superimposing said at least two layers of fabric. 15. The process according to claim 13, further comprising connecting a pair of shoulder straps to said pair of cups and to said pair of side bands. 16. The process according to claim 13, wherein said pair of cups are shaped by thermoforming. 17. A brassiere structure comprising: a first layer;a second layer being joined to said first layer by an adhesive so that said first and second layers define a laminate area having no external sewn seams, said laminate area having an outer periphery that is larger than a final brassiere shape having two side bands and two breast cups; anda stiffening element encased between said first and second layers within said outer periphery. 18. The brassiere structure of claim 17, further comprising a pair of breast cups defined in a region above said stiffening element. 19. The brassiere structure of claim 17, wherein said stiffening element comprises a third layer joined to a fourth layer by a sewn seam, said sewn seam being enclosed by said first and second layers. 20. The brassiere structure of claim 19, wherein said fourth layer is a wire casing, said wire casing being disposed about said stiffening element. 21. The brassiere structure of claim 19, wherein first and second layers prevent said sewn seam from contacting a wearer when the brassiere structure is worn. 22. The brassiere structure of claim 19, wherein said sewn seam is protected against wear by said first and second layers. 23. A stiffened brassiere comprising: a first layer of seamless and elastic fabric;a second layer of seamless and elastic fabric;a third layer of elastic fabric, said third layer being smaller and less elastic than said first and second layers, said third layer having two adjacent curved edges;an adhesive securing said first, second, and third layers together so that said third layer is completely between said first and second layers; anda pair of breast cups formed in said first and second layers. 24. The brassiere of claim 23, further comprising a curved tubular casing stitched to each of said two adjacent curved edges with a sewn seam. 25. The brassiere of claim 24, wherein said sewn seam is enclosed between said first and second layers. 26. The brassiere of claim 24, further comprising a curved wire enclosed in each of said curved tubular casings. 27. The brassiere of claim 26, wherein said curved wire comprises a flattened cross section. 28. The brassiere of claim 26, wherein said curved tubular casing and said curved wire are compressed between said first and second layers so that said curved tubular casing and said curved wire are positioned along a bottom part of said pair of breast cups.
