<p>Provided is a curved tape which can retain a curved shape without using a wire, and also provided is women's clothing with a cup employing the curved tape. The curved tape (14) has a combination texture formed by overlapping a plurality of woven fabric textures (71, 72) in the thickness direction (Z), for curving in the width direction (X), wherein the combination texture (70) is so constructed as to provide a higher elasticity at the portions (71i, 72i) on the inside of the curve than at the portions (71o, 72o) on the outside of the curve. Since the portions (71i, 72i) on the inside of the curve exhibit higher elasticity than the portions (71o, 72o) on the outside of the curve, the tape is formed into a curved state and the curved shape is retained. Unlike the prior art, the curved shape can be retained without the need of inserting a wire, and the curved tape (14) extending suitably along the lower edge of a cup portion can be attained. Furthermore, a work step for inserting a wire can be eliminated at the time of production.</p> |
