Patent number: 9883702Abstract: A portion of a bra, such as a bra wing or bra cup, includes a double-faced fabric made with a polyurethane-based elastomer yarn. A silicone pattern is printed on a first face of the fabric, and at least partially penetrates the first face. In a first zone on the first face of the fabric, the printed silicone pattern has a first surface density, and in a second zone it has a second surface density. The first surface density imparts a first elastic modulus to the fabric in the first zone, while the second surface density imparts a second elastic modulus to the fabric in the second zone that is different than the first elastic modulus. A plurality of zones can be provided in order to provide a smoothing and/or support effect to the portion of the bra.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2015Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Mast Industries (Far East) LimitedInventors: Nathalie Martinet, Suet Hing Yip, Queenie Jui-Chuan Lee, Nadeekha Michelle Leanage
