Abstract: According to the present girdle 1, when a wearer walks and a leg is moved backward, a forward load is applied to gluteus maximus muscle by a first tightening portion. Then, a reflective action of a muscle (muscle stimulation) to resist this load acts on the gluteus maximus muscle, and then the leg is moved further backward, resulting in a wearer's waist being twisted backward greatly. Further, a forward load is applied to elevated gluteus medius muscle by this backward waist twisting by a second tightening portion, resulting in the waist being twisted forward this time. Then, such a waist twisting motion is enhanced, which necessarily trains the wearer's groups of abdominal muscles, and a shape-up effect of the periphery of abdominal region may be obtained without the wearer performing intentional exercises.

Abstract: The present invention provides stretchable warp-knitted fabric that is a 1×1 tricot formed by running a non-elastic yarn and an elastic yarn side by side in such a manner that in each stitch, at least one of the non-elastic yarn and the elastic yarn forms a closed loop, a method for manufacturing the fabric, and stretchable clothing using the fabric at least in a part. Since a cut edge of the knitted fabric can be used as a hem of the clothing without finishing, sewing is simplified. It is possible to provide fashionable clothing that has appropriate stretchability enabling the clothing to well fit the body of the wearer, that is thin and has a beautiful texture, and that, when it is formed in underwear, has a hem line invisible through outerwear.

Abstract: Filler clothes 3, which intersect with each other at a section corresponding to the middle point between the interspinal point and patellar midpoint of a human body, are formed on a front section of a bottom garment 1. The filler clothes 3which are formed in this manner stimulates the rectus femoris muscle 14 which is a part of the quadriceps of a wearer. When the quadriceps is stimulated while walking, the legs can be kicked backward significantly in a natural fashion, whereby the gluteus maximus muscles can be used efficiently.

Abstract: A leg support garment of a tights type that has stretchability and is applied in close contact with the human body so as to support the legs is provided with a stretchable part having a relatively great straining force. The stretchable part having a relatively great straining force includes a stretchable portion (A) having a relatively great straining force that substantially covers the ligamentum collateralle on a medial side of the knee joint of the human body, and on a superior side of the knee joint, extends through a length of not less than ¼ of that of the thigh, along at least one selected from the musculus group consisting of the musculus sartorius, the musculus semitendinosus, the musculus semimembranosus, and the musculus gracilis.

Abstract: A long girdle substantially comprises a main body part 1 covering from a lumbar to an upper part of a thigh, and a support line part 2 stitched on a part of the main body part 1. The support line part 2 has a lower end 2U at a part of a connecting line L that connects the front main body part 11 and rear main body part 12, and an upper end 2T at a part of the connecting line L. The support line part 2 is arranged from the lower end 2U to the upper end 2T through the front side of the thigh and a section which is located at the rear side of the thigh and the lower section of the rump-cleft, in a spiral. Specifically, the support line part 2 continues from the lower end 2U to the upper end 2T in a spiral so as to cover, in the form of a band, a region where the great adductor muscle of the thigh is located. The main body part 1 and the support line part 2 are configured with a stretchable material, and the tightening force of the support line part 2 is stronger than that of the main body part 1.

Abstract: A brassiere having a front fabric portion having front left and right shoulder portions, and front left and right underarm portions. A back fabric portion having a back left and right underarm portions connected to the respective front underarm portions, and an upper edge. A back shoulder fabric portion has a contractive force less than a contractive force of the back fabric portion, having a rear central portion connecting the front left and right shoulder portions, wherein a first width of the rear central portion is less than a width between the front left and front right shoulder portions at a point where the front left and front right shoulder portions contact the shoulders of the wearer, the rear central portion connected to the upper edge of the back fabric portion and the rear central portion having a second width near the upper edge of the back fabric portion wider than the first width.

Abstract: A garment comprising a stretch fabric wherein the garment covers at least a part of the lower body of a wearer, has a crotch part, and is worn by being fitted to the wearer's body, wherein the garment in part has a first portion with a strong straining force; first portion with a strong straining force is a strong straining portion (A); right and left parts of the portion (A) are connected at a second position on the back side of the garment corresponding to any region from os sacrum to vertebrae lumbalis of the wearer's body; and the portion (A) covers a region extending from second position through tops of bulges of the buttocks or vicinities thereof approximately in the direction of muscle fibers of musculus gluteus maximus at right and left to at least the vicinity of trochanter major.

Abstract: A garment that is made including a piece of a stretchable warp-knitted fabric, wherein at least a non-elastic yarn is arranged in a 1×1 tricot structure and an elastic yarn is arranged in a looping structure, that is cut at an angle of at least 3° and at most 177° with respect to the knitting direction, the piece having an edge that does not require hem finishing when left as cut, so that at least one of the edge portions of the garment is formed by an edge that does not require hem finishing when left as cut (an edge of the bottom line 2 or an edge of the waist line 3). Thus, a garment is provided, in which the portion of the edge does not become thick, the edge does not require hem finishing when the fabric is left as cut, this edge is used for the garment's edge portion, curling of the edge portion does not occur, and the edge portion fits the body.

Abstract: The women's clothing of the present invention is preferably a sports brassiere to be worn in athletic activities. This brassiere comprises a front fabric portion for covering the chest section including the right and left breasts of a wearer, a back fabric portion which elastically stretches in the horizontal direction in a state of tension produced when wearing the brassiere, and a back shoulder fabric portion connected to the front fabric portion at the right and left shoulder portions of the wearer. The front fabric portion is constituted by layering two pieces of fabric and interposing a breasts protective fabric material therebetween. In the back shoulder fabric portion, the right and left shoulder portions are united in the rear center of the back shoulder fabric portion so as to be narrower than the space between the right and left shoulder portions.
