Trend Report: Pregnancy

Expanding Shapewear - Integrated Stitches - Lightweight -  Whole Garment - Compression Garments

The innovations by Santoni are explored in regular updates that examine new developments in stitch, yarn, fiber, engineering and technical knowledge for the circular knitting market.

As a pregnancy develops, the pressure on various parts of the lower abdomen increase, requiring additional support garments for the expecting mother. In the past uncomfortable medical garments using woven and bulky velcro was the only option, but now with seamless technology, the same structures used in shapewear can be employed to provide support that continues to function as the belly expands.

Following the curves via integrated stitches allow for a more comfortable method to introduce this support into the everyday wardrobe of both foundation and regular garments. Pregnancy wear is not just limited to pre-natal but also post-natal care, as the new mother often needs the help of medical compression underwear to help lower the pelvic organs after birth.

Seamless knits during pregnancy are also utilized in large diameter garment technology with fluid and lightweight garments that allow the body to breath and feel comfort at all times. Loose silhouettes and whole garment engineering are perfect for changing body shapes at this special time.
