ABSTRACT:
A tubular fabric receives an underwire in a garment such as a bra. The tubular fabric is formed by arranging a fusible yarn, such as Grilon®, and melting said yarn to form a barrier, which exhibits excellent resistance to penetration by underwires. Preferably the fabric does not include an elastomeric yarn or contains a minor amount and is treated to impart stretch to the fabric in the length direction.
