<p>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 a polyamide, on the interior surface of the tube and melting said yarn to coat the interior surface. The fabric, which may be woven or warp-knitted, also includes an elastomeric yarn and a support yarn. On cooling the melted yarn sets to form a durable lining which exhibits excellent resistance to penetration by underwires.</p> |
