Abstract

In each cup portion 101 of the garment having cup portions, a support member 110 is provided so as to extend along the periphery of the swell of a wearer's breast. The support member 110 includes a lower support member 110A and an upper support member 110B. The lower support member 110A is stretchable in a direction connecting the front center side and the lateral side of the cup portion 101. The upper support member 110B is non-stretchable or slightly stretchable in a direction orthogonal to the above-described direction. At least part of a front center side-portion and at least part of a lateral side-portion of the upper support member 110B are fixed to the garment. At least part of a lateral side-portion of the lower support member 110A is fixed to the garment so that the lower support member 110A is displaceable relative to the cup portion 101.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a garment with cup portions.BACKGROUND ART[0002]When women practice some sports such as running, they may be bothered by the bounce of their breasts, and some actions such as jumping may cause a large impact to be exerted on their breasts. Heretofore, in the development of sports brassieres for use during exercise, attempts have been made to suppress the above-described bounce of breasts. For example, in order to suppress the bounce of a wearer's breasts during exercise with less burden to the wearer such as a feeling of tight pressure in wearing, there has been proposed a women's garment in which stretchable protective tapes are sewn along the following two lines: the line connecting a top region where each nipple is to be located and a lateral side-lower region where a lateral side-lower part of each breast is to be located when the garment is worn; and the line connecting the top region and a front center-side upper region whe...
