PORTION OF BRA AND BRA HAVING ZONES OF VARYING ELASTIC MODULI

摘要

A portion of a bra, such as a bra wing or bra cup, includes a double-faced fabric made with a polyurethane-based elastomer yarn. A silicone pattern is printed on a first face of the fabric, and at least partially penetrates the first face. In a first zone on the first face of the fabric, the printed silicone pattern has a first surface density, and in a second zone it has a second surface density. The first surface density imparts a first elastic modulus to the fabric in the first zone, while the second surface density imparts a second elastic modulus to the fabric in the second zone that is different than the first elastic modulus. A plurality of zones can be provided in order to provide a smoothing and/or support effect to the portion of the bra.

1. A portion of a bra comprising:
a double-faced fabric made with a polyurethane-based elastomer yarn; a silicone pattern printed on a first face of the fabric, the printed silicone pattern at least partially penetrating the first face of the fabric on which it is printed; and a first zone on the first face of the fabric where the printed silicone pattern has a first surface density, and a second zone on the first face of the fabric where the printed silicone pattern has a second surface density that is different than the first surface density; wherein the first surface density of the printed silicone pattern imparts a first elastic modulus to the fabric in the first zone, and the second surface density of the printed silicone pattern imparts a second elastic modulus to the fabric in the second zone that is different than the first elastic modulus.
