Abstract: A clothing recommendation system according to an embodiment includes at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to: acquire a measured value of a body of a user; acquire additional information of the user other than the measured value; determine, based on a rule indicating a relationship between a measured value of a body of a person and a body type characteristic that is a characteristic of a body type of the person, the body type characteristic of the user from the acquired measured value; refer to a database storing clothing information indicating a correspondence relationship between clothing items and body type characteristics, and retrieve a clothing item corresponding to a clothing size of the user, the determined body type characteristic, and the acquired additional information; and output recommendation information indicating the retrieved clothing item.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a girdle which can improve posture by acting on the muscles around the pelvis, is easy to handle and can be worn with no uncomfortable feeling. An example of the present invention is a girdle (short girdle and long girdle) containing, in an area fitting over a wearer's body, a tightening portion for which the magnitude of a tightening force varies with areas. When the garment is being worn, the tightening fabric portion extends from the vicinity of an upper part of the buttocks cleft, passing the vicinities of upper parts of the right and left buttocks, to the vicinities of the right and left greater trochanters, and the tightening fabric portion may be made of material having a tightening force. Moreover, a body front tightening fabric portion is provided at the front of the garment.

Abstract: A binder is provided for joining a plurality of objects together with a binding string. The binder includes a base member having a recess for receiving the objects. Structure for feeding the binding string is disposed behind the recess. A hook-shaped hand is provided for guiding the binding string around the objects and for causing a loose end of the binding string to turn back in a U shape while pressing the binding string against the objects to be bound, and for twisting the loose end of the binding string with another portion of the binding string to perform binding. The hook-shaped hand includes a slide base plate capable of moving backward and forward relative to the recess, a hook-shaped curved member rotatably coupled to the slide base plate and movable backward and forward in response to movement of the slide base plate, and a rotation mechanism for engaging and thereby rotating the hook-shaped curved member toward the recess in synchronized relation with forward movement of the slide base plate.
