upper edge of the cup proper being disposed substantially above the central nipple engaging portion of the cup, said conversion flap being attached to said upper edge by a seam to thereby define a fold line, the distance from said seam to the upper edge of said flap being less than the distance from the seam to said nipple engaging portion, whereby said flap, when folded on said fold line, is disposed in itsentirety upon the inner surface of the cup proper above said nipple engaging portion, and the upper end of said conversion flap having means for detachably coupling a shoulder strap therewith.
2. A conversion brassiere of the character described, having a pair of cups, means joining the adjacent portions of the cups, the sides of the cups having extending body encircling portions, each cup being defined by a shaped cup proper and a flexible foldable conversion .fiap, the upper edge of the cup proper being disposed substantially above the central nipple engaging portion ofthe cup,,said conversion flap being attached to said upper edge by a seam to thereby define a fold line, the distance from said seam to the upper edge of said flap being less than the distance from the seam to said nipple engaging portion, whereby said flap, when folded on said fold line, is disposed in its entirety upon the inner surface of the cup proper above said nipple engaging portion, the, upper end.
of said conversion flap having means for detachably coupling a shoulder strap therewith, and said upper edge of each cup proper having a finishing band forming a finished edge to the cup proper when the conversion flap is in the folded position on the innersurface of the cup.
3. A conversion brassiere of the character described, having a pair of cups, means joining the adjacent portions of the cups, the sides of the cups having extending body encircling portions, each cup beingdefined by a shaped cup proper and a flexible foldable conversion flap, the upper edge of the cup proper being disposed substantially above the central nipple engaging portion of the cup, said .4 conversion flap being attached to said upper edge by a seam to thereby define a fold line, the distance from said seam to the upper edge of said flap being less than the distance from the seam to said nipple engaging portion, whereby said flap, when folded on said fold line, is disposed in its entirety upon the inner surface of the cup proper above said nipple engaging portion, the upper end of said conversion flap having means for detachably couplinga shoulder strap therewith, and a U-shaped wire member encircling the lower and side portion of each cup proper and having upper ends extending to a position immediately adjacent said fold line.
4. A conversion brassiere of the character described, having a pair ;of cups, means joining the adjacent portions of the cups, the sides of the cups having extending body encircling portions, each cup being defined by a shaped cup proper and a flexible foldable conversion flap,-- the upper edge of the cup proper being disposed substantially above the central nipple engaging portion of the cup, said conversion flap being attached to said upper edge by a seam to thereby define a fold line, the distance from said seam to the upper edge of said flap being less than the distance from the seam to said nipple engaging portion, whereby said flap, when folded on said fold line, is disposed in its entirely upon the inner surface of the cup proper above said nipple engaging portion, the upper end of said conversion flap having means for detachably coupling a shoulder strap therewith, and each cup proper having, at the upper edge portion and outer extremity thereof, .other means for coupling the shoulder, strap therewith to provide two dilferent supports of the brassiere upon the body of the wearer.
