TUBULAR FABRIC AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a tubular fabric for receiving an underwire in a garment such as a bra. The tubular fabric is formed by arranging a fusible yarn, such as Grillon, and melting said yarn to form a barrier, which exhibits excellent resistance to penetration by underwires. Preferably the fabric does not include an elastomeric yarn and is treated to impart stretch to the fabric in the length direction.
