“…The fabric of leggings has different knitting structures such as rib, single jersey, and interlock that are combined with seamless technology that supports the desired regional shaping, firming, and slimming effects in the best way while providing wear comfort. The results of our previous studies were used to determine the fabric raw material and construction [23][24].…”

This study aims to develop a systematic research method consisting of subjective and objective measurement methods to determine the effectiveness of cosmetic textiles on human skin. For this purpose, first of all, the expected properties of the cosmetic textile product were considered and the methods to be used for testing these properties were determined, and finally, a research method was created. Leggings, a cosmetic textile product, was selected to validate the method and a 28-day wear trial was carried out with female subjects to observe the effects of the product on human skin. During the wear trial, the subjects were provided to wear leggings that were designed from different knitting structures and applied cosmetic microcapsules to ensure the optimal slimming, moisturizing, and anti-cellulite properties. Dermatological and anthropometric measurements were carried out at specified periods of the study and the obtained data were statistically analyzed. According to the results, it was determined that the cosmetic textile product developed is skin-friendly and helps to increase skin moisture. Additionally, it was observed to provide a slimming effect to the wearer after a period of regular usage, however, it was suggested as a supportive product for women only with early-stage cellulite. A survey was also conducted to evaluate the cosmetic textiles by using subjective user opinions. The output of the survey has shown a high rate of satisfaction with the comfort, visual and sensory properties of the cosmetic textile product. By introducing the research method developed, it will be possible to accurately determine the effectiveness of cosmetic textiles on human skin and to design, develop and produce new cosmetic textile products with high cosmetic efficacy.

“…The developed sports bra was made of PA (polyamide) 85%-EA (elastane) 15% and has different knit structures that are combined with seamless technology that provides an upright and lifted posture by supporting the breasts while offering wear comfort to the wearer at the same time. The results of our previous study were used to determine the fabric's raw material and construction (Yılmaz and € Ondo gan, 2021). Following the end of the pattern design and production process of the sports bra, microcapsules in dia 5 microns purchased from Robert Blondel SA were applied to some of the sports bras.…”
PurposeThis study aims to develop a sports bra with cosmetic microcapsules that supports the breasts and provides an aesthetically upright and lifted posture by using 28 days period.Design/methodology/approachA fitting process was carried out on provided seamless sports bras to determine the criteria that have to be improved considering the desired properties. The new sports bras were produced after the pattern design was developed; cosmetic microcapsules were applied to some of the bras and some were used as a control group to compare the real cosmetic effects. Female subjects tried the newly developed sports bras in a 28-day wear trial. Measurements were taken at certain periods during the wear trials, and the obtained data were analyzed statistically.FindingsThe findings of this study determined that the product provides a decrease in breast girth and increases skin moisture and nipple height after 28 days of regular use due to the effect of cosmetic ingredients released from microcapsules. A great majority of subjects found the breast lifting and supporting property of the sports bra successful and were satisfied with the new shape of the subjects' breasts.Originality/valueFitting studies were carried out directly on the female body, and the designed and developed encapsulating type sports bra has been transformed into a cosmetic textile product that gains also cosmetic properties. The cosmetic effects of the bra were investigated with wear trials. On the other hand, the nipple height measure term was defined for the first time and added to the literature within the scope of the study.
