A garment that is made including a piece of a stretchable warp-knitted fabric, wherein at least a non-elastic yarn is arranged in a 1×1 tricot structure and an elastic yarn is arranged in a looping structure, that is cut at an angle of at least 3° and at most 177° with respect to the knitting direction, the piece having an edge that does not require hem finishing when left as cut, so that at least one of the edge portions of the garment is formed by an edge that does not require hem finishing when left as cut (an edge of the bottom line 2 or an edge of the waist line 3). Thus, a garment is provided, in which the portion of the edge does not become thick, the edge does not require hem finishing when the fabric is left as cut, this edge is used for the garment's edge portion, curling of the edge portion does not occur, and the edge portion fits the body.

A skirt (1) according to one example of lower-body clothes for a pregnant woman comprises a front belt part (10), a rear belt part (20), a pair of side belt parts (30) and a hung cloth (40) hanging downward from each belt part. The front belt part (10) holds up a protruding lower abdomen of the pregnant woman along its configuration in a state her lower abdomen is exposed. The rear belt part (20) includes a waist pad part (21) applied to a back waist part of the pregnant woman. The pair of side belt parts (30) connects the front belt part (10) and the rear belt part (20).

A garment includes a crotch part and leg parts at least partially covering the femoral regions, is to be worn fitted on a body of a wearer, and includes an easily stretchable portion that is stretched relatively easily and a less stretchable portion that is less stretchable than the easily stretchable portion. As part of the easily stretchable portion, the garment includes easily stretchable portions (A) each of which has a substantially band-like shape extending substantially in a longitudinal direction of the garment, covers a region along and in the vicinity of musculus rectus femoris on an anterior side of the femoral region, and is stretchable substantially in a width direction thereof. This garment is useful as a garment that includes a crotch part and leg parts at least partially covering the femoral regions and is to be worn fitted on a body of a wearer, that does not lose shape, and maintains the shaping function for keeping the body in shape.

The supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts and the clothing mechanism is made up with an expandable material, in which the front part pinches the fan-shaped areas with the nipples as the peaks, corresponding to areas covering from a region near the front center by way of the under-busts to regions near the armpit regions, which are likely to produce a suspension and a deformation of the breasts, forms planes jointly with the front center region, armpit regions, and shoulder regions that face to the fan-shaped areas, and joins the right and left parts on the front center, whereby upper areas from the nipples are made open. By wearing, tensile (tense) relations are produced over the whole mechanism, which exerts a pressure that prompts support and correction to the lower sides of the breasts and the fan-shaped parts.

The supporting and correcting mechanism of the bottom uses the expandable material, and includes cut lines of the right and left, front and back parts in conformity with the median shape, in which the right and left parts that pinch the median form the crotch region and the neighborhood thereof in a shape that they are separated before being joined, form them in a shape to conform with the shape of the region between the crotch and the right and left thighs by being joined, provide change-over darts or cut lines or a structure capable of replacing these in regions from the buttock protrusions on the peak line buttock protrusions reaching to the lower sides of the buttocks to form the regions in shapes to conform with the shapes of the buttocks, whereby, on wearing, tensile (tense) relations are produced over the whole mechanism to bring the parts into a close contact with the bottom areas and exert a pressure that prompts correction to the abdomen and the lower sides of the buttocks.

A panty girdle comprises an upper panty portion (1) and lower thigh covering portions (2). An elastic belt (13,20) is wholly or partially sewn to the inner circumferential surface of the panty portion (1) of the panty girdle and extends downwards towards the middle of front panels (8a,8b) of the panty girdle. When one wears the panty girdle, one's iliums are tightened by connecting the ends of the belt (13,20) to achieve pelvis correction.

The present invention relates to a method for making bras and the like, comprising the steps of die-cutting a fabric for making a die-cut fabric element defining a bottom band, to which are coupled contoured portions defining the breast cups, applying resins on a region of the bottom band, on a side of a symmetry line and at edge regions of the contoured portions, folding the die-cut element along the symmetry line so as to cover the resin coated regions, reacting the coated resin, and applying to the bra shoulder straps and closing elements.

L'invention concerne une culotte de maintien remonte-fesses réalisée en dentelle élastique.

Sur la face intérieure de la culotte sont cousues :

• une bande allongée (10) en matière élastique cousue sur la culotte, qui passe à l'arrière sous le niveau des fesses, remonte obliquement sur les côtés à la hauteur des hanches et dont les extrémités viennent se rejoindre à l'avant au niveau de la taille,
• et un plastron ventral (16) également en matière élastique, cousu à l'avant, qui remonte depuis l'entrejambe jusqu'au bord supérieur de la culotte et qui est cousu sur les extrémités de la bande (10).

The invention relates to a clothing having a bone or a stretch suppressing member for shaping up the body line fixed to the surface of a fabric for composing the clothing. The bone or the stretch suppressing member comprises a crosslinked polyurethane resin, which is provided as a crosslinkable polyurethane prepolymer to the fabric surface and the prepolymer is polymerized with accompanying crosslinking to be fixed on the fabric surface. This provides the clothing with bones or stretch suppressing members of cloth which are excellent in touch, superior in washability so that the bones or stretch suppressing members will not be peeled off by washing, reduced in manufacturing labor required, and excellent in productivity.
