Some suitable areas for slits were examined from maternitywear, including maternitybrassiers for breast-feedings. The 4 areas for slit were decided and discussed. Of the 4 slitted areas that the author decided, the responses for preferable slits were collected from both 117 pregnanted and 127 breast-feeding women through interview questions with a questionnaire. From above comprehensive backgrouns, maternitygarments and maternitybrassiers were made and worm individually prior to their evaluations for satisfaction, or dissatisfaction. Some results were obtained from our observations. A slit on center-front areas was shown to be desirable through a questionnaire with convenient feelings when maternitybrassiers were worn. In maternitygarments, a slit under breast from interview questions seemed desirable, and did to have same responses when they were worm because it was proven to be easy for breast-feedings. Our observations indicated that maternitygarments and maternitybrassiers with the similar positioning of slit were preferable and also convenient when they wore.
