Garment having less-stretchable support

Abstract

A garment comprising a less-stretchable component formed at various locations on and as a portion of the garment; wherein the less-stretchable component has less elasticity than that of part of the garment.

1 . A garment comprising a less-stretchable component formed at various locations on and as a portion of the garment; wherein the less-stretchable component has less elasticity than that of part of the garment. 
     
     
         2 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the less-stretchable component is non-stretchable. 
     
     
         3 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the less-stretchable component is screen printed on a fabric from which the garment is made. 
     
     
         4 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the less-stretchable component is a film of glue applied on a fabric from which the garment is made. 
     
     
         5 . A brassiere cup comprising:
 a shaped section having a predetermined shape for a user's breast; and   a less-stretchable component joined to or formed on the shaped section;   wherein the less-stretchable component has less elasticity than that of the shaped section.   
     
     
         6 . The brassiere cup of  claim 5 , wherein the less-stretchable component is non-stretchable. 
     
     
         7 . The brassiere cup of  claim 5 , wherein the less-stretchable component is screen printed on a fabric from which the shaped section is made. 
     
     
         8 . The brassiere cup of  claim 5 , wherein the less-stretchable component is screen printed on an inner layer of the brassiere cup. 
     
     
         9 . The brassiere cup of  claim 5 , wherein the less-stretchable component is screen printed on an outer layer of the brassiere cup. 
     
     
         10 . The brassiere cup of  claim 5 , wherein the less-stretchable component is a film of glue applied on a fabric from which the shaped section is made. 
     
     
         11 . The brassiere cup of  claim 5 , wherein the less-stretchable component is a film of glue applied on an inner layer of the brassiere cup. 
     
     
         12 . The brassiere cup of  claim 5 , wherein the less-stretchable component is a film of glue applied on an outer layer of the brassiere cup. 
     
     
         13 . The brassiere cup of  claim 5 , wherein the shaped section has a predetermined stretchability. 
     
     
         14 . The brassiere cup of  claim 5 , wherein the shaped section is padded or molded. 
     
     
         15 . A brassiere comprising:
 two brassiere cups;   a brassiere wing for supporting the brassiere cups on a user; and   at least one less-stretchable component located on the brassiere cups and/or the brassiere wing.   
     
     
         16 . The brassiere of  claim 15 , wherein the less-stretchable component has less elasticity than that of the brassiere cups and/or the brassiere wing. 
     
     
         17 . A method of manufacturing a brassiere part with a less-stretchable component formed on the brassiere part, comprising the steps of:
 (a) designing an artwork of pattern of the less-stretchable component to provide predetermined support;   (b) creating a screen-printing screen in accordance with the artwork;   (c) providing polymer resin as a media to print out the predesigned screen-printing pattern on a fabric; and   (d) cutting the fabric with the predesigned screen-printed pattern to form the brassiere part.
