Abstract: A fastener tape of a fastener stringer extends beyond an edge of a fastener element closer to a connecting portion and an extension length is restricted to be smaller than 12 mm. In this way, when the fastener stringer is curved in a tape width direction of the fastener tape, it is possible to effectively suppress a tape extension portion of the fastener tape from partially floating. Thus, it is possible to stably sew the fastener stringer while maintaining the tape extension portion in an approximately flat form even when the fastener tape is curved. Moreover, since floating or the like of the sewn fastener tape occurs rarely, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the quality of external appearance.
