The present invention provides a method of manufacturing and an application of body smoothing knitted underwear capable of being used as an outerwear. The method includes the following steps: raw material preparation, knitting, dyeing, setting, cutting and sewing, bonding, ironing and finishing. The method can be realized by using the existing combined cylinder knitting device. Through the innovation of raw materials and processes, the underwear produced is soft, comfortable, breathable and warm, and has modest elasticity and the body smoothing function, which can tighten the skin. It is beautiful and elegant, and suitable for outside wearing as well.

An article of clothing is disclosed. The article of clothing a front panel. The front panel comprises an inner fabric layer; an outer fabric layer having a first portion and a second portion; and a thermoplastic strip. The first portion of the outer fabric layer is secured with the inner fabric layer. The second portion of the outer fabric layer supports the thermoplastic strip therewith. The back panel is attached to the front panel.

Designing garments that include brassiere cups can be challenging due to the natural fluctuation of a woman's breast size, as well as a possible disconnect between the size of her breasts and the size of the rest of her body. The high range of size variability places pressure on stores to stock inventories that include great ranges of sizes. This places an inventory risk to the store, since rarer sizes may never sell. The disclosed garment addresses these issues by including a fit-adjustable brassiere portion. The cups of the fit-adjustable brassiere portion include fit-modifying panels that increase their flexibility and elasticity. The rear side of the fit-adjustable brassiere portion includes a back adjuster with highly elastic regions that enables the brassiere portion to fit a broader range of chest sizes. Each of these features give the garment a more universal fit and enable stores to carry fewer sizes.

Designing shapewear for special occasion garments with low cut necklines and back lines can be especially challenging. The challenge lies in constructing a garment that effectively shapes the wearer while simultaneously eliminating significant amounts of material from the chest and/or back region. Disclosed herein are shaping garments designed to be worn underneath garments with low cut back lines. The shaping garment includes a space in the back shaping region on its rear side, such that the shaping garment is not visible beneath an ultra low-back special occasion garment. A removable back adjuster can be used to bridge the space to provide additional shaping support when ultra low-back mode is not required by the special occasion garment.

Method for manufacturing a bra, comprising the steps of: providing a first fabric layer (11), designed to realize the outer layer of the underwear article, a second fabric layer (13), designed to realize the inner layer of the underwear article and a third material (17) made of thermo-adhesive polyurethane film, designed to realize permanent joining elements between the two fabric layers (11, 13) in the finished article; sprinkling the first fabric layer (11), on its side destined to face the second fabric layer (13), with a reactive “hotmelt” polyurethane glue, capable of being reactivated only once; applying said thermo-adhesive polyurethane film (17) on the side of the second fabric layer (13) destined to face the first fabric layer (11); superimposing the two fabric layers (11, 13), with the side of the first fabric layer covered with glue faced towards the second layer and the thermo-adhesive polyurethane film portions (17) applied to the second fabric layer facing the first fabric layer; joining, by hot-pressing, the two layers of fabric (11, 13) with the aforesaid thermo-adhesive polyurethane film portions (17) interposed between them, reactivating the reactive polyurethane glue to bring it temporarily into a liquid phase and subsequently trigger a cross-linking process that causes the glue to solidify definitively for the fixing of the parts; thermoforming the article according to the desired shape.

The disclosure concerns a bra adapted for athletic use, of the type comprising a first cup and a second cup, each of them bounded laterally by an outer edge and by an inner edge, and outfitted with a support structure and a base structure. Each cup is outfitted with a support structure connected to a base structure, the support structure comprising at least a first support strap of overall cradle shape which is elastically deformable and which extends at least from the outer edge to the inner edge of the respective cup to support the breasts of the wearer.

A device for use by an individual varying in form, i.e. shape, during its use and allowing for the user to select multiple variations of form either discretely or in combination and for these dynamic variations to be controllable simultaneously and interchangeably while being transparent to the normal use of the device, including the ability to insert, withdraw, rotate, and actuate the variable features manually or remotely. According to embodiments of the invention localized and global variations of devices are implemented using fluidics and electromagnetic pumps/valves wherein a fluid is employed such that controlling the pressure of the fluid results in the movement of an element within the device or the expansion/contraction of an element within the device.

The present disclosure relates to support members for brassieres and other clothing. The support member may be manufactured by additive manufacturing, subtractive manufacturing methods, and injection molding, among others. The support member may include a thickness gradient devised to support a breast. The support member may be customized to the anatomy of a particular user. The support member may include one or more biometric sensors.
