ABSTRACT:
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 (5R) of a right cup portion (2R) extends in the upper left direction, and a cup suspending cord (5L) of a left cup portion (2L) extends in the upper right direction, so that they are attached to a neck hole hem part (16), whereas respective extensions of the cup suspending cords (5L,5R) intersect each other above the neck hole hem part (16). 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.
