Be it known that I, Auguste Schwenkler (née Deege), a citizen of the Empire of Germany, residing at Berlin, in the Empire of Germany, have invented a new and useful Breast-Supporter, of which the following is a specification.
As is well known, the female breast is apt to suffer alterations by diseases, frequent child-births, periodical hypertrophy and the like, so that it becomes slack and hangs down, or it does not develop, and consequently the body necessarily loses in beauty.
My invention relates to a simple appliance for improving upon the female breast, by raising it and giving it the necessary elasticity and strength, in other words by returning it to its normal position and giving it the desired rounded shape.
