  • a garment provided with cup sections there are apparent demands of consumers for wearing a bra that snugly fits the breasts of the consumers.
  • Patent Literature 1 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No, 2002-115105
  • Wearing a garment provided with cup sections of inappropriate size may result in a problem in a state of breasts.
  • a wearer with breasts of B70 wears a garment provided with cup sections of C70
  • there may be a space between a breast top part and the cup section or an upper hem of the cup section or an upper cup section may not be in contact with the breast.
  • the breast may not fully fit into the cup section and an upper edge portion of the cup section may bite into the breast.
  • a method of instructing correct size selection and a correct wearing method to consumers at storefront or the like is employed.
  • sizes of existing garments provided with cup sections are limited relative to two parameters of a breast volume and a barge scan line width (distance between a front center end point and a side end point of a cup curve line).
  • a garment provided with cup sections itself has size applicability and plasticity according to an actual state of size selection and wearing methods of consumers.
  • the present invention has been devised in order to solve the above problems with an object of providing a garment provided with cup sections having size applicability and plasticity.

  • this garment provided with cup sections, connecting the side portion of the front side base section and the side portion of the skin side base section allows for coupling the first part and the second part to each other. Therefore, the first part is movable upward, downward, forward, and backward relative to the second part, thus allowing a cup length and a cup width to be variable for breasts of different sizes, thereby allowing for adjusting a silhouette. Also, since the cup section and the pad section are separated, the pad section can easily fit to a lower end of the breast without influence of the cup section and thus a plasticity function for the breast of the pad section is preferably exercised. Therefore, in this garment provided with cup sections, both of size applicability and plasticity can be sufficiently obtained.

  • a back portion is provided to the side portion of the skin side base section and that a strap section is provided in such a manner as to connect the upper edge portion of the cup section and the back portion. In this case, pulling force applied from the strap section upon wearing allows for generating movement of the first part relative to the second part.
  • an underwire section is arranged along a lower edge portion of the pad section. This allows for firmly fitting the underwire section to the lower end of the breast, thus allowing for further enhancing the plasticity function for the breasts.

Therefore, in this garment provided with cup sections 1 , both of size applicability and plasticity can be sufficiently obtained.
  • cup section 2 With regard to size applicability of the garment provided with cup sections 1 , for the cup section 2 to fit to the breast of the wearer, it is important that the upper edge portion 2 a of the cup section 2 is in contact with the breast and that the upper edge portion 2 a of the cup section 2 does not excessively press the breast.
  • the first part 11 is movable upward relative to the second part 12 .

Contrary to this, in the garment provided with cup sections 1 according to the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 5( b ) , the first part 11 is movable forward relative to the second part 12 . This allows for fitting the breast with a large volume into the cup section 2 . The first part 11 can further move upward relative to the second part 12 . This can also suppress the upper edge portion 2 a of the cup section 2 from biting into the upper portion of the breast.

  • Such a configuration allows the pulling force applied from the strap section 5 upon wearing to act on the cup section 2 , thereby allowing for generating movement of the first part 11 relative to the second part 12 .
  • the action of the pulling force from the strap section 5 on the cup section 2 is especially preferable for suppressing that the upper edge portion 2 a of the cup section 2 is not in contact with the breast when a size of the breast is smaller than a size of the cup.
  • the underwire section 7 is arranged along the lower edge portion 6 b of the pad section 6 . Arranging the underwire section 7 on the pad section 6 side allows for thinly fitting the underwire section 7 to the lower end of the breast.
