Clothing having cups in which a front center supporting part is provided at a portion where front sides of left and right cups covering left and right breasts respectively which are disposed nearer to a front center in a left-to-right direction than top portions of the left and right cups are continuous with each other, with a front central position interposed between the front sides of the left and right cups. Upper and lower portions of the front center supporting part are spread in a left-to-right direction with the upper and lower portions thereof extended to upper and lower sides of the left and right cups respectively surrounding each of the top portions to such an extent that the upper portion is located at a position where the upper portion and a strap are continuous with each other.

Clothing having cups

The present invention provides a sport clothing product with cups excellent in a shaping (bust uplifting) function, in which the stability of bust does not deteriorate even upon vigorous arm movements. A cup suspending cord (R) of a right cup portion (R) extends in the upper left direction, and a cup suspending cord (L) of a left cup portion (L) extends in the upper right direction, so that they are attached to a neck hole hem part (), whereas respective extensions of the cup suspending cords (L,R) intersect each other above the neck hole hem part (). Movements of cup portions caused by vigorous arm movements accompanying exercises are greatly alleviated, whereby actions of cup suspending members at the time of raising arms function so as to lift up the cup portions in so-called 'centering' directions.

Sport clothing with cups

An upper body garment which selectively supports the muscles used during inhalation without hindering the movement of the spinal column. The upper body garment is constructed by stitching, to a shirt that adheres closely to the body, a plurality of band-form fabrics having a stretchability lower than that of the shirt. The stitching of the band-form fabrics occurs along several defined anatomical lines such as: the first lines that extend from the left and right acromia to a portion that corresponds to the center of the sternum, second lines which extend from this portion corresponding to the center of the sternum, pass beneath the breast area, and extend to the left and right armpit areas, and third lines which connect the left and right armpit areas of the second lines to each other on the back surface.
