Undergarment suited for reducing the appearance of sweat
An undergarment including one or more sweat-curtailing portions designed to provide protection against the appearance of sweat and eliminate odor.
Deformation pattern based messaging
Aspects of the present invention receive line pattern data generated by a stylus point drawing a line pattern on a touch screen surface that includes a velocity value of the stylus point relative to the touch screen surface, and a pressure value exerted by the stylus point on the touch screen surface. Aspects responsively manipulate deformable fabric thread components of an e-textile clothing garment to generate a representation of the drawn line pattern from the generated line pattern data as a linear series of sequential surface deformations that exert force upon a skin surface of a person wearing the e-textile clothing in proportion to the stylus point pressure value and trace the line pattern at a tracing velocity proportionate to the velocity value of the stylus point relative to the touch screen surface.

MOISTURE CONTROL FABRICS
The present disclosure provides articles of manufacture with improved moisture control as well as methods of making such articles. In some embodiments, provided herein the article has a fabric with an outer hydrophobic surface and an inner surface with hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions where the hydrophilic regions can form a pattern, allowing moisture to collect and move through the pattern, and the hydrophobic regions prevent the whole inner surface from becoming moist and the outer hydrophobic regions does not show moisture. The fabric may be used to make garments. The entire inner surface of the garment may be patterned with hydrophilic patterns for partial absorption, and the entire outer surface of the garment is hydrophobic, thereby preventing perspiration from being seen from outside of the garment. Further provided herein are methods of making fabrics with improved moisture control including by printing or knitting.
Bra and garment with bra portion
In one embodiment, a garment having a cup portion with two cups, a body portion integrated with the cup portion, and a band are disposed on the garment such that is extends beneath the cup portions. The band is either on the body portion or adjacent the body portion. The garment also has support structures with a configuration, each following proximately a contour of the lower part of its respective cup, wherein a portion of the support structure is formed on and fixed to the band and a portion of the support structure extends on the body of the garment and is attached thereto. As such the support structure configuration is approximately arcuate. The garment also has additional control regions. The control is provided by fabric or materials that have less stretch than the body fabric from which the body of the garment is made.

TEXTILE UNDERGARMENT WITH SWEAT PROTECTION
A textile undergarment includes an inner side directed toward a body of a wearer, and an outer side which is arranged opposite to the inner side. At least one region of the textile undergarment is formed in at least two layers via an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer forms the inner side of the textile undergarment from a liquid-absorbing textile material. The outer layer forms the outer side of the textile undergarment from a 3D knitted fabric which prevents a transfer of a liquid from the inner layer to the outer side of the textile undergarment.

Detachable and Interchangeable Activewear Top
A detachable and interchangeable activewear top that includes a sports bra that has fasteners/closures located on the bra band with an overlay flap that makes the fasteners/closures not visible when down but easily accessible when flipped up, and a lower panel that encircles the torso below the breasts and flows downward to the belly and/or beyond and may contain elastic around the top opening of the lower panel as well as fasteners/closures around the top opening that corresponds to the fasteners/closures on the sports bra. The sports bra and the lower panel can be attached, detached and interchanged via a non-permanent fastening system.
