Abstract: A woven tape for use as a trimming of a brassiere is disclosed as including a body portion provided with a number of openings along its warpwise centerline. An advantage in the use of a woven tape according to this invention as a trimming of a brassiere is that its position relative to the bra body can be adjustable, thus allowing choices to a user, and offering both enhanced convenience and aesthetic appearance.

Abstract: An elastic woven tape is disclosed as being composed of at least two kinds of tape sections, each of which having a respectively different elongation and/or modulus, and formed by alternating and continuous integration of these two kinds of tape sections by weaving. The weaving method of the said elastic woven tape includes controlling the changes in the degrees of elasticity provided by elastic threads for the woven tape in mechanized weaving through the control of the feeding speeds of the elastic threads. The advantageous effects of this invention lie in the production of a woven tape composed of tape sections respectively with larger elongation but smaller modulus and with smaller elongation but larger modulus by means of their alternating and continuous integration by weaving, which simplifies the post-weaving operation and improves production efficiency.
