But foundation garment needs to be worn in a long term, the comfort and functionality to human body deserve advanced study as well. First of all, this research analyzes the patents corresponding to foundation garment. In application the function of foundation garment focus on convenience , comfort and lifting breasts, therefore the technic used focuses on refineing its structure and the choice of fabrics. This research view structure and the fabric as experiment variables, then evaluate different structures affect on comfort and mobility , and estimate the effect on fat displacement with long-term wearing. The result revealed that the fabric characteristic, such as porousness and thickness , will affect the comfort. the structure and different tester may affect the ability of flexion, extension and lateral flexions. Therefore by wearing foundation garment will help adjusting vertebral column and body stature. After the experiment of wearing foundation garment for three months, long-term wearing may cause fat displacement , but we can not predict where fats will shift to. Consequently, wearing the foundation garment designed with Ergonomic may obtain positive support.
