1. An upper torso garment, comprising: a. a body formed of inner and outer layers, the body having a front breast covering portion and at least one torso band extending from the front breast covering portion;b. the inner and outer layers overlapping along a lower fold line; andc. an elastomeric band
1. An upper torso garment, comprising: a. a body formed of inner and outer layers, the body having a front breast covering portion and at least one torso band extending from the front breast covering portion;b. the inner and outer layers overlapping along a lower fold line; andc. an elastomeric band comprising a thermoplastic elastomer film and positioned between the inner and outer layers proximate the lower fold line;wherein the thermoplastic elastomer film has a thickness between about 0.1 mm and about 0.3 mm; andwherein the modulus of the thermoplastic elastomer film is between about 1.0 and about 4.0 kilograms when measured with a static load of 7 kilograms at 60% elongation. 2. The upper torso garment of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic elastomer film comprises polyamide. 3. The upper torso garment of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic elastomer film has a modulus that is greater than the modulus of the body. 4. The upper torso garment of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic elastomer film has a width of between about 0.75 inches and about 1.25 inches. 5. The upper torso garment of claim 1, wherein the elastomeric band is coated on at least one side for adhesively affixing the elastomeric band to at least one inner surface of the inner and outer layers of the body. 6. The upper torso garment of claim 1, wherein the garment is a brassiere, a sports bra or a camisole. 7. A method of forming an upper torso garment, comprising: a. knitting a body symmetrically dimensioned for forming a two-ply garment, comprising inner and outer layers when folded about a central fold line;b. selecting an elastomeric band comprising a thermoplastic elastomer film having a thickness between about 0.1 mm and about 0.3 mm and a modulus between about 1.0 and about 4.0 kilograms when measured with a static load of 7 kilograms at 60% elongation;c. positioning the elastomeric band proximate the fold line; andd. symmetrically overlapping the inner and outer layers of the brassiere body about the fold line, enclosing the elastomeric band and forming the brassiere having a front breast covering portion and at least one torso band extending from the front breast covering portion. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the elastomer film comprises a polyamide film. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the elastomeric band is coated on at least one side for adhesively affixing the elastomeric band to at least one inner surface of the inner and outer layers of the knitted body. 10. The method of claim 7, further comprising affixing the elastomeric band to one of the inner and outer layers by the application of temperature and pressure for a selected amount of time. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the application temperature is between about 150 degrees F. and 380 degrees F., the application pressure is between about 10 pounds per square inch and 120 pounds per square inch, and the amount of time is between about 5 seconds and 90 seconds. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the application temperature is about 320 degrees F., the application pressure is between about 30 and about 60 pounds per square inch, and the amount of time is between about 20 and about 30 seconds. 13. The upper torso garment of claim 1, wherein the body is a circularly knitted body. 14. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of knitting further comprises circularly knitting. 15. The method of claim 7, wherein the modulus of the thermoplastic elastomer film is greater than about 1.0 kilograms when measured with a static load of 7 kilograms at 40% elongation. 16. The method of claim 7, wherein the modulus of the thermoplastic elastomer film plus the inner and outer layers of the garment is between about 1.0 and about 4.0 kilograms when measured with a static load of 7 kilograms at 60% elongation. 17. The upper torso garment of claim 1, wherein the modulus of the thermoplastic elastomer film is greater than about 1.0 kilograms when measured with a static load of 7 kilograms at 40% elongation. 18. The upper torso garment of claim 1, wherein the modulus of the thermoplastic elastomer film plus the inner and outer layers of the garment is between about 1.0 and about 4.0 kilograms when measured with a static load of 7 kilograms at 60% elongation.
