BRASSIERE BLANK, BRASSIERE AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME

摘要

This invention discloses methods of manufacturing brassiere blanks and brassieres, and the brassieres made therefrom. In particular, the methods and brassieres involve circular knitting operations in which a brassiere blank (30) is produced on a circular knitting machine as a cylindrical tube, and thereafter cut and sewn only at the shoulders to produce a brassiere having shoulder straps (31') knit integrally with a front torso portion (27) having a pair of breast cups (26) and a rear torso portion (28) cooperating with the front torso portion (27) in forming a torso encircling portion (20).
