Underwear abstract
A ladies' underwear fabrication method and structure that in addition
to addressing the difficulty of effectively keeping conventionally
fabricated women's underwear in position while worn also provides
a newly researched and developed fabrication method that improves
finished product appearance and comfort. A double-layer elastic
fabric material is overlapped, a punch cutting pattern of a bust-shaped
section is traced, breast cups are emplaced, and the fabric material
is folded back and cut into shape. Tension-adjustable straps are
then attached to the torso band section extending from the bottom
of the brassiere and, furthermore, the upper end of the torso band
section to effectively provide for stronger positioning and an enhanced
bustline profile while the ladies underwear of the present invention
is worn.
Underwear claims
What is claimed is:
1. A method of making a brassiere, comprising:
doubling over a double-layer elastic fabric material to form an
overlapped arrangement and to define a horizontal midpoint fold
line along a center of the double-layer elastic fabric material;
stitching, to the elastic fabric material, a torso band section
extending from the midpoint fold line;
tracing a punch cutting pattern of a bust-shaped section on the
elastic fabric material and above the midpoint fold line;
tracing a punch cutting pattern for breast cup holes on the elastic
fabric material and below the midpoint fold line;
fabric material is now in a four-layer disposition;
trimming away excess material at an upper aspect of the bust-shaped
section;
after said trimming, spreading out a back surface of the elastic
fabric material along a cut-formed vertical center line;
disposing a fastener at respective ends of the spread out back
surface; and
attaching tension-adjustable straps to the torso band section extending
from a bottom of the brassiere as well as an upper end of the torso
band section.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention herein relates to a ladies' underwear fabrication
method and structure that in addition to addressing the difficulty
of effectively keeping conventionally fabricated women's underwear
in position while being worn also provides a newly researched and
developed fabrication method that improves the finished product
appearance and comfort.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Referring to FIG. 8, the conventional concealed steel reinforcement-type
brassiere structure is shown. Two breast cups B1 and steel reinforcements
B2 are placed onto the inner layer B of the brassiere and then a
similarly shaped outer layer A is utilized to cover the breast cups
B1 and steel reinforcements B2 of the inner layer B. The underwear
is sewn together by stitching the upper edge A1 and the two sides,
thereby preventing the exposure of the brassiere steel reinforcements
B2. The lower edge A2 of the underwear is of a stitchless hollow
design and a torso band A3 is sewn along the bottom side, giving
the brassiere a seamless appearance.
Although the brassiere structure is of a seamless design and the
concealed steel reinforcements of the brassiere structure are not
marked by stitches, it is attractive in appearance, but otherwise
impractical. In this type of brassiere structure design, only the
upper edge A1 of the brassiere is stitched and lower edge A2 is
hollow and remains unstitched. As such, when the brassiere is worn
by a woman, slight contortion or movement fits it on the body, but
since the torso band A3 along the bottom side of the said brassiere
is only coordinated with the outer layer A to form a two-layer underwear
structure, effective positioning cannot be achieved, with the shortcomings
including relatively easy loosening and shifting as well as no assistance
in feminine bustline development. Furthermore, when the underwear
is worn for extended periods, the readily occurring loss of tension
in the brassiere torso band A3 causes the further drawbacks of folding
over and movement out of position which reduces feminine bustline
support and attractiveness.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the invention herein is to provide a ladies'
underwear fabrication method and structure that in addition to addressing
the difficulty of effectively keeping conventionally fabricated
women's underwear in position while worn, also provides a new fabrication
method that improves the finished product appearance and comfort.
A double-layer elastic fabric material is overlapped, a punching
cutting pattern of a bust-shaped section is traced on it, breast
cups are emplaced, and the fabric material is folded back and cut
into shape. Tension-adjustable straps are then attached to the torso
band section extending from the bottom of the brassiere and, furthermore,
the upper end of the torso band section to effectively strengthen
positioning as well as enhancing bustline profile while the ladies'
underwear of the present invention is worn, thereby providing for
an even more practical ladies' underwear fabrication method.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention herein is a ladies' underwear fabrication method.
The method includes: A) arranging of a two-layer elastic fabric
material 1. The fabric material 1 is first doubled over to form
an overlapped arrangement; B) Punch cutting. A midpoint fold line
11 is imposed horizontally along the center of the double-layer
elastic fabric material 1 and a torso band section 12 extending
from the midpoint fold line 11 is stitched. A punch cutting pattern
of a bust-shaped section 13 is traced at the upper extent of the
midpoint fold line 11. A punch cutting pattern for breast cup holes
14 is traced at the lower extent of the midpoint fold line 11; C)
A breast cup 141 and a steel reinforcement 142 are placed onto each
of the breast cup holes 14 and stitched into position; D) The two-layer
elastic fabric material 1 is folded back along the midpoint fold
line 11 such that elastic fabric material 1 is now in a four-layer
disposition such that the bust-shaped section 13 is ready for cutting
out; E) The excess material at the upper aspect of the bust-shaped
section 13 is trimmed away and the underwear assumes its appearance;
and F) After trimming, the back surface 2 of the two-layer elastic
fabric material 1 is spread open along a cut-formed vertical center
line 21 and a fastener 22 is disposed at the ends of the spread
out back surface 2. Furthermore, tension-adjustable straps 15 are
attached to the torso band section 12 extending from the bottom
of the brassiere as well as the upper end of the torso band section
12 to complete the ladies' underwear product.
The procedures involved in the ladies' underwear fabrication method
and structure of the invention herein are shown sequentially in
FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7.
Since the underwear produced through the said fabrication method
is processed into a brassiere by punch cutting and tension-adjustable
straps 15 are attached to the torso band section 12 extending from
the bottom of the brassiere as well as the upper end of the torso
band section 12 to effectively provide for stronger positioning
while the ladies' underwear is worn without the drawbacks of underwear
loosening and displacement, the present invention is greatly superior
to conventional seamless underwear.
In summation of the foregoing section, since the ladies' underwear
fabrication method and structure of the invention herein meets new
patent requirements, the present invention is lawfully submitted
to the patent bureau for review and the granting of the commensurate
patent rights. |
