1. An upper-torso garment having a chest-covering portion, the upper-torso garment comprising: a pair of dome-shaped portions that are located in the chest-covering portion and that are separated from one another by a center bridge, wherein each dome-shaped portion is divisible into a top half and a bottom half and includes a medial perimeter edge, which abuts the center bridge, and lateral perimeter edge;a knit textile panel constructing each of the dome-shaped portions, the knit textile panel comprising a plurality of courses fully spanning the dome-shaped portion from the medial perimeter edge to the lateral perimeter edge; anda plurality of partial-length courses partially spanning the dome-shaped portion, wherein the plurality of partial-length courses are intermittently positioned among the plurality of courses, and wherein the plurality of partial-length courses are unevenly distributed between the top half and the bottom half,wherein the knit textile panel further comprises a tubular-jacquard knit structure having a plurality of front-stitch courses and a plurality of back-stitch courses constructed of a first yarn strand and a second yarn strand, and wherein each front-stitch course intermittently interlocks with a back-stitch course by the first yarn strand and the second yarn strand transferring back and forth between the front-stitch course and the back-stitch course. 2. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein a larger quantity of partial-length courses are located in the top half than the bottom half. 3. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein a larger quantity of partial-length courses are located in the bottom half than the top half. 4. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein the plurality of partial-length courses includes a first partial-length course having a first length, a second partial-length course having a second length that is shorter than the first length, and a third partial-length course having a third length that is shorter than the second length; and wherein the second partial-length course is positioned between the first partial-length course and the third partial-length course, and the third partial-length course is positioned closer to a chest band of the upper-torso garment than the second partial-length course. 5. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein the plurality of partial-length courses includes a first partial-length course having a first length, a second partial-length course having a second length that is shorter than the first length, and a third partial-length course having a third length that is shorter than the second length; and wherein the second partial-length course is positioned between the first partial-length course and the third partial-length course, and the first partial-length course is positioned closer to a chest band of the upper-torso garment than the second partial-length course. 6. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein the plurality of partial-length courses includes a first partial-length course having a first length, a second partial-length course having a second length that is shorter than the first length, and a third partial-length course having a third length that is longer than the second length; and wherein the second partial-length course is positioned between the first partial-length course and the third partial-length course. 7. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein each partial-length course of the plurality of partial-length courses includes a medial terminal end spaced apart from the medial perimeter edge by a first quantity of stitches and includes a lateral terminal end spaced apart from the lateral perimeter edge by a second quantity of stitches, and wherein the first quantity of stitches is greater than the second quantity of stitches. 8. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein a third yarn strand constructs a course of interlock tuck stitches that binds the front-stitch course to the back-stitch course by interlooping with every other front stitch and every other back stitch. 9. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein each dome-shaped portion includes a medial half and a lateral half, and wherein a larger portion of partial-length courses within the plurality of partial-length courses is distributed in the medial half than the lateral half. 10. An upper-torso garment having a chest-covering portion, the upper-torso garment comprising: a pair of dome-shaped portions that are located in the chest-covering portion and that are separated from one another by a center bridge, wherein each dome-shaped portion is divisible into a top half and a bottom half and includes a medial perimeter edge, which abuts the center bridge, and lateral perimeter edge;a knit textile panel constructing each of the dome-shaped portions, the knit textile panel comprising a plurality of courses fully spanning the dome-shaped portion from the medial perimeter edge to the lateral perimeter edge; anda plurality of partial-length courses partially spanning the dome-shaped portion, wherein the plurality of partial-length courses are intermittently positioned among the plurality of courses,wherein the knit textile panel comprises a tubular-jacquard knit structure having a plurality of front-stitch courses and a plurality of back-stitch courses constructed of a first yarn strand and a second yarn strand, and wherein each front-stitch course intermittently interlocks with a back-stitch course by the first yarn strand and the second yarn strand transferring back and forth between the front-stitch course and the back-stitch course. 11. The upper-torso garment of claim 10, wherein the upper-torso garment is a bra having a chest-band size equal to or less than 32 inches and a cup size that is equal to or less than C. 12. The upper-torso garment of claim 10, wherein a third yarn strand constructs a course of interlock tuck stitches that binds the front-stitch course to the back-stitch course by interlooping with every other front stitch and every other back stitch. 13. The upper-torso garment of claim 10, wherein each dome-shaped portion includes a medial half and a lateral half, and wherein the plurality of partial-length courses includes a larger distribution of partial-length courses in the medial half than the lateral half. 14. An upper-torso garment having a chest-covering portion, the upper-torso garment comprising: a pair of dome-shaped portions that are located in the chest-covering portion and that are separated from one another by a center bridge, wherein each dome-shaped portion is divisible into a top half and a bottom half and includes a medial perimeter edge, which abuts the center bridge, and lateral perimeter edge;a knit textile panel constructing each of the dome-shaped portions, the knit textile panel comprising a plurality of courses fully spanning the dome-shaped portion from the medial perimeter edge to the lateral perimeter edge; anda plurality of partial-length courses partially spanning the dome-shaped portion, wherein the plurality of partial-length courses are intermittently positioned among the plurality of courses,wherein the knit textile panel comprises a tubular-jacquard knit structure having a plurality of front-stitch courses and a plurality of back-stitch courses constructed of a first yarn strand and a second yarn strand, and wherein each front-stitch course intermittently interlocks with a back-stitch course by the first yarn strand and the second yarn strand transferring back and forth between the front-stitch course and the back-stitch course, andwherein a third yarn strand constructs a course of interlock tuck stitches that binds the front-stitch course to the back-stitch course by interlooping with every other front stitch and every other back stitch. 15.
