Aspects of a flat-knit support garment for an upper torso are provided. The flat-knit support garment may include a bra structure having a flat-knit bra material that includes a cup zone, a body zone, a wing zone, a strap zone, and a chestband zone. In some instances, a perimeter of the flat-knit bra comprising a neck opening and armhole openings includes a finished edge treatment corresponding to a high stretch modulus, covered yarn. Such finished edges are generated in seamless construction with the unitary, flat-knit structure of the flat-knit support garment for an upper torso. The flat-knit characteristics of the support garment for an upper torso may correspond to one or more of a flat-knit stitch sequence, a yarn type, and/or a finishing treatment.

A supporting garment article such as a brassiere comprises a layer of elastomer provided in a graduating manner such that the area density of the elastomer vanes across a first region of the garment article. Supporting garment articles of the present disclosure provide the support of a constructed bra while maintaining the comfort factor of an unconstructed bra such as a bralette. The present disclosure provides a superior medium support bra using graduated application of an elastomer such as silicone, bonding, extrusion and dry moulding techniques.

An example reduced-coverage back-smoothing brassiere includes a right and left brassiere cup, right and left brassiere wings, each coupled to at least a portion of one of the two brassiere cups and one of two brassiere straps, first edges of the brassiere wings each being a continuous curve leading to the exterior edge of the respective brassiere wing, the second portion of the right brassiere strap being coupled to the right brassiere cup and the second portion of the left brassiere strap being coupled to the left brassiere cup, a second edge of each of the brassiere wings extending in an unbroken curve from the respective brassiere strap toward the fastening section, a continuous, unbroken curve being created by the interior edge of each of the two brassiere straps along the second edge of each of the two brassiere wings, respectively.

A process for manufacturing an undergarment having two superimposed textiles, comprising depositing on certain parts of reinforcements (8) comprising a thick layer of a shaped memory foam elastic material, the polymerization of this material and also the shaping of the textiles of the undergarment by thermoforming, characterized in that it comprises a step of depositing, on the entire surface of at least the textiles, a thin layer of an elastic adhesive-bonding material, and then a step of polymerizing this thin layer of adhesive bonding during the thermoforming for shaping, and in that it comprises a step of prior depositing, on the textile receiving the layer of reinforcement (8), of a barrier layer of an elastic material, which is polymerized before the depositing of this reinforcement.

A brassiere includes a body portion configured to at least partially encircle a wearer of the brassiere. The body portion includes a torso band configured to at least partially encircle a wearer of the brassiere, and a pair of breast cups including a first breast cup and a second breast cup. The pair of breast cups are configured to support breasts of the wearer. The brassiere further includes an under-bust support adhered to the body portion adjacent to a lower periphery of the pair of breast cups.

Various textile materials and method of manufacturing the same are provide. A method of single layer garment includes providing a single layer of textile material with low melt yarn. The method also includes forming the structure of the single layer of textile 5 material using selective heating to provide material support. The textile material are formed via at least one of a molding machine or a robotic hot air machine.

The present disclosure provides for an under-support, which includes curved end portions and a support portion extending between the curved end portion. The support portion includes a plurality of openings. The present disclosure further provides for the under-support embedded in a foam cup. When the disclosed under-support is embedded in a foam cup, the foam extends through the openings in the support portion.

This disclosure relates to a buttocks support garment that cannot be seen through clothing and that provides a natural-looking, lifted buttocks, and methods related thereto. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.
