The importance of correct trimming when making lingerie
Complex for those who make it, underwear in traditional models can contain an average of 12 types of trimmings in the bra and 2 in the panties . It is important that those who manufacture know the differences between each type of trim and know which application will have the best result in their final product . Knowing the properties of each elastic and where the indicated result will be, it is possible to unleash the creativity of creating more differentiated models without rules and limitations in design and quality.
In the bra we can find:
• Elastic : strap, waistband, lace, narrow for details, folding bias, peaks (elastics with details at one end, where it is sewn over the base and only the “beak” is visible);
• Rigid ribbons : bow bias, fin bias;
• Metallic and/or plastic : underwire, fin, clasps, regulators and rings, in addition to decorative pendants;
• Cups and fabrics of different models.
Stretching suggestion for elastics that make up the basic bra design, indicating the difference between each item. This is an average that can vary by 10% more or less :
Bra Strap: 70%
Waistband: 120%
Folding bias: 130%
Important : If an elastic band designed to function as a strap is used instead of a waistband, the item will have greater tension in the chest region, where the consumer will experience discomfort, leaving marks on the skin, and reducing the durability of this item due to body pressure. looking for comfort in this region.
“The bra should pull backwards and not forwards. This minimizes the natural effect of gravity. If the tension is concentrated in the chest, there is a risk of the body posture becoming hunched. The inclination resulting from overload can cause stomach problems and fatigue. A persistent hunched posture can result in kyphosis, popularly known as hunchback” (RAVAGLIA, Fabio Ferraz do Amaral (CRM-SP 54.294 and RQE 11.990/89). The right bra for every body. RIBEIRO, Mírian. Jornal da Orla. September 06, 2012).
About the panties :
Panties are one of the oldest pieces ever historically recorded as intimate clothing. Not as complex in volume of accessories as the bra, this piece mostly has two essential features : elastic for the waistband and finishing for the leg armhole .
The armhole can be finished with foldable elastic , which provides a more friendly finish for the sensitive groin area, or narrow elastic sewn onto the inside of the garment.
Recommended application and stretching :
Waistband: 120%
Armhole/Legs: 130%
