Bra panel in art nouveau style from a Karl Mayer JL 42/1 B
The bra panel featured here accentuates the curves in the
outlines of the female body as far as design and style are concerned. The
fabric which performs the uplifting, tensioning and seduction roles has an
optically meaningful undulating outline featuring double outlines, with
mother-of-pearl type, opalescent filling in between.
The snake-like motif was combined with pattern elements with
an art nouveau look. The small flowers with projecting sections around the
individual leaves in the breast section draw attention to themselves, and in
the bra side sections abstract decorations in the art nouveau style, mystical
and sublime, reign supreme.
A rustic design ensemble, the image of which is improved by
the use of textured nylon in combination with lustrous polyester. The outlines
and centres of the flowers rise out of the fabric ground in relief, almost
three-dimensional form. The ground for the motifs is configured in various ways
with large-area diamond patterning on a mesh-like ground, an almost opaque zone
between the cups and a filigree organic structure as a framework for the
flowers. Circular openings with openwork check pattern round off the overall
picture.
The lightweight transparent quality was produced on a JL
42/1 B machine, an extremely innovative Jacquardtronic raschel lace machine for
the manufacture of high-quality elastic and non-elastic lace which has the
increased potential of the new Karl Mayer lace machine generation. With shogs
of up to 170 needles and electronic means for taking down and batching up, the
JL 42/1 B works the pattern motifs fed in long curves into the panel just as
easily as the contours of the fabric in the fabric. All in all the JL 42/1 B
points to new applications and markets.
