Abstract
An extensible garment fabric has an edge fixed in length by a relatively inextensible tape or cord made from a material capable of being either eliminated or made extensible by subsequent processing. A garment has an extensible garment fabric and an extensible waistband with the edge of the extensible garment fabric fixed via the relatively inextensible tape or cord being attached to the extensible waistband.
Claims24
An extensible garment fabric comprising:
- an edge fixed in length by a relatively inextensible tape or cord made from a material capable of being either eliminated or made extensible by subsequent processing,
- wherein the relatively inextensible tape or cord is made from a material that is water soluble and will dissolve during a washing of the extensible garment fabric, and
- wherein the material that is water soluble includes water soluble fibers that are polyvinyl alcohol fibers, and
- wherein the material that is water soluble includes water soluble fibers that are made of a low-melt polyamide,
- wherein the extensible garment fabric includes inextensible fabric fibers, the extensible garment fabric being extensible along a line of the relatively inextensible tape or cord via the extensible garment fabric being on a bias to relatively inextensible tape or cord.

An extensible garment fabric, comprising:
- an edge fixed in length by a relatively inextensible tape or cord made from a material capable of being either eliminated or made extensible by subsequent processing,
- wherein the fabric is cut on a bias to the relatively inextensible tape or cord, and
- wherein the extensible garment fabric includes inextensible fabric fibers, the extensible garment fabric being extensible along a line of the relatively inextensible tape or cord via the extensible garment fabric being on a bias to relatively inextensible tape or cord.
A garment comprising:
- an extensible garment fabric having an edge fixed in length by a relatively inextensible tape or cord made from a material capable of being either eliminated or made extensible by subsequent processing;
- and
- an extensible waistband with the edge of the extensible garment fabric fixed via the relatively inextensible tape or cord being attached to the extensible waistband,
- wherein the extensible garment fabric includes inextensible fabric fibers, the extensible garment fabric being extensible along a line of the relatively inextensible tape or cord via the extensible garment fabric being on a bias to relatively inextensible tape or cord.
