CORSETS; BRASSIERES

Introduced: September 1968

Description

A41C covers garments designed to shape, support, or control the torso, including corsets and brassieres. This classification encompasses foundation garments with structural elements such as boning, stays, panels, or reinforced fabrics used to provide body support and shaping. It includes both undergarments and outer corsetry, as well as the specialized fastening systems, closures, and construction techniques specific to these garments. Related apparel classifications (such as A41B for other outer garments) do not typically include these structured foundation pieces.

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 3 subcodes exist in both systems.
