The present invention is drawn to a hook and eye closure for garments such as brassieres. The eye tape (10) and/or the hook tape (20) is stabilized in a vertical direction, but stretches in a horizontal direction so as to provide a comfortable and self-adjusting fit to garments. The eye tape (10) preferably includes a soft, stretchable backing material (38) that wraps around three edges of the eye tape and is heat-sealed to the front side. This provides a soft, seam-free back and edge portion to allow increased comfort. (Figures 1c, 2c and 3b). |
