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.

A textile composite contains a sublayer coated with unactivated solid sublimation dyes and incorporated with the layers of the textile composite or placed between a fabric layer and a backing layer. The sublimation dyes are activated with heat and pressure, and dying or coloring the inner strata of the textile composite.

Aspects herein are directed to a printed composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles and methods of making the same. In example aspects, the printed nonwoven textile includes an interior layer with a printed component that is visible on a first facing side of the printed nonwoven textile that is formed, at least in part, from a first entangled web of fibers, fibers of the interior layer, and/or a colored substance the forms the printed component. When incorporated into an article of apparel, the first facing side is an outer-facing surface of the article of apparel that includes the printed component.

A sticker application system includes a fabric, a heat transfer permanent vinyl attached to the fabric and non-permanent adhesive material temporarily adhered to the permanent vinyl. The non-permanent adhesive material contains at least one of a design or graphics. The vinyl permanently adhered to the fabric by heat transfer is washable. The non-permanent adhesive backed vinyl is temporarily adhered to the permanent heat transfer vinyl for a transferable, re-useable, changeable use. The permanent and non-permanent vinyl combination is a unique platform suitable for decoration, methods including but not limited to stickers, sticker design sets, stencil drawings, hand drawings, art and expression. A sticker application method provides a temporary, transferable, reusable, changeable way to self-design fabrics.

An appliqué of the invention comprises a disposable carrier film onto which a release layer and PU inks are printed using layering techniques. The ink layers can be multicoloured and each colour is applied sequentially using a conventional screen-printing method. A back-up, a lacquer layer, and an adhesive layer are printed in sequence over the ink layers. The ink includes reflective particles providing the optical effect of a 3-dimensional appliqué. The artwork is created by overlapping design layers to controlled specification sequences. The ink, because of the additives, creates a desired colour tone, and this may be enhanced by layering of the ink in an overlapping region. Thus, there are three main regions, namely a central region with reflective ink, a “shoulder” region with overlapping matt and reflective inks and an outer region with only matt ink.
