A method for manufacturing a core-material-containing garment, the method includes: a feeding step of feeding fabric (2) in a wound state onto a conveyor table (1) without relaxing or substantially relaxing the fabric (2); a core material application step of applying a reactive hot-melt adhesive to the fabric (2) on the conveyor table (1) to form a core material (12); an adhesive application step of applying a bonding hot-melt adhesive (13) configured to bond the fabric (2); and a drying step of drying the applied bonding hot-melt adhesive (13), and in the core material application step, the reactive hot-melt adhesive is mixed with nitrogen gas and foamed, and the reactive hot-melt adhesive is applied using an application device provided with a resin discharge unit that is movable in at least two axial directions of vertical and horizontal directions.

A pressure-adjustable brassiere pad includes a main body and a gas collection actuator. The main body includes an outer surface layer, an inner surface layer, and a gas bag layer enclosed between the outer surface layer and the inner surface layer. The gas passage of the gas bag layer has a connection end extended out from the main body. The gas collection actuator is connected to the connection end and includes a gas transmitter, a control module, and a gas pressure detector. The gas transmitter supplies gas to the gas bag layer so as to adjust the internal pressure of the gas bag layer. The gas pressure detector detects the internal gas pressure to monitor the internal pressure and notify the control module to control the operation of the gas transmitter.

An adjustable brassiere includes a pair of cup parts, a base part supporting the cup parts, a back part, and straps. Each cup part has, on its back surface, an underbust adjustment pocket and a volume adjustment pocket. The base part is continuous with the cup parts and has a stretchable skin-side base part and a front-side base part that are layered. The front-side base part includes a wire insertion part that has substantially the same curve as a curve of a lower edge of the cup part on a front surface. The skin-side base part and the front-side base part are fixed to each other at the front center tops, side edges, and a lower end, and the cup lower edge of the skin-side base part and the wire insertion part of the front-side base part are not fixed to each other, except for both ends thereof.

A garment (e.g., a bra) can include an inner pumping panel with layers of material. A first portion of the layers of material of the inner pumping panel may be situated on a left side of the bra to cover a portion of the wearer's left breast and can be fastened together and define a first opening. A second portion of the layers of material of the inner pumping panel may be situated on a right side of the bra to cover a portion of the wearer's right breast, and can be fastened together and define a second opening. The first and second openings are each disposed at an oblique angle relative to a bottom edge of the bra and are sized and positioned so as to help support at least a portion of a breast pump disposable through the first and/or second opening.

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.

A woman's undergarment with cup sections includes a pair of left and right brassiere cups, cup cover pieces, straps, back pieces, a support panel, and lift-up pieces. A lower edge of each of the brassiere cups is sewn to a lower edge of the lift-up piece. A side edge and an upper edge of the brassiere cup are detached from the cup cover piece. The lift-up piece is disposed between the brassiere cup and the cup cover piece. The brassiere cup has an opening in a corner region including an upper end of the brassiere cup. An insertion portion of the lift-up piece is disposed to pass through the opening.

An apparatus includes a flexible brassiere pad with first interlockable discs are secured to the flexible brassiere pad, wherein each first interlockable disc has a first interlockable member directed to a first side of the flexible brassiere pad. The apparatus further includes second interlockable discs, each having a second interlockable member that is disconnectably connectable to the first interlockable member of one of the first interlockable discs. Optionally, the apparatus may further include, or be used with, a sports brassiere forming a pair of breast cups, each breast cup forming a pocket between inner and outer fabric layers, wherein the pocket is configured to receive the flexible brassiere pad. Connecting the second interlockable discs to the first interlockable discs from opposite sides of the inner fabric layer secures the flexible brassiere pad in a desired position within the pocket.

Insert pads used in women's clothing can be difficult to insert, remove, or adjust. The application includes independent methods for each of these scenarios, which are significant improvements over the state-of-the art method of manually massaging into place. By using a specially designed tool with the method laid out herein, it is possible to accomplish these tasks with great effectiveness and in much less time than before.

The present invention provides a brassiere that can create not only a cleavage of breasts but also a beautiful decollete in a neckline area by naturally pushing up the breasts, even when the user is a person whose breasts including flab have little volume, or an elderly person whose breasts have no volume particularly in an area near the stomach and moreover are droopy. This brassiere includes: a pair of cups (20) covering breasts (B); a front panel (31) to which the cups (20) are attached; side panels (40) extending from underarm portions of the front panel (31); and straps (50) provided from upper edges of the respective cups (20) to the side panels (40). A substantially triangular pad (70) is disposed to be overlapped with a substantially triangular part (S) that is surrounded by a rising portion (28) from a stomach part (20a) of each cup (20) and a horizontal edge portion (29) from the stomach part (20a). Two sides (70b) and (70c) of the triangular pad (70) are sewed to the rising portion (28) and the horizontal edge portion (29), respectively.
