PERFECTIONNEMENTS APPORTES AUX SOUTIENS-GORGE, OU LES CONCERNANT, ET AUX ARTICLES D'HABILLEMENT SIMILAIRES

摘要

There is described an article adapted for ready deformation into a brassiere defining blank generally including a longitudinally knit seamless tubular artefact having successively knit portions of varying diameters in adjacent portions. The tubular artefact is preferably knit longitudinally on a circular knit hosiery machine. Deformation may be effected by use of a wire form which is inserted longitudinally within the tubular knit article thus flattening the article into two superimposed layers with a portion of the periphery of the wire defining the upper and lower edges desired for the cups of the blank. Three dimensional forms inserted within the periphery shapes the bust areas to three dimensions.
