  1. Aro

    São incorporados no soutien com o objectivo de apoiar o peito por baixo. Para corresponder às diversas exigências existem aros de diferentes materiais. Soutiens com aros devem ser lavados à mão.

  2. Algodão

    Fibra natural de origem vegetal. O algodão é de fácil tratamento e agradável à pele. Têxteis com algodão são macios, aconchegantes, finos, absorventes e não criam electricidade estática. As diferentes qualidades de algodão resultam do comprimento e finura da fibra. Quanto mais comprido e fino mais valioso se torna o algodão.

  3. Autosoft

    Uma técnica inovadora que consiste em incorporar na margem da renda finíssimos fios de elastano. A lingerie torna-se invisível por baixo de vestuário justo. A lingerie não deforma e veste na perfeição.

  4. Alça

    A largura das alças é adaptada à funcionalidade dos diversos soutiens, tendo também em conta a óptica moderna, a forma de vestir e o elevado conforto. A altura das alças é regulável. No caso de tamanhos e copas maiores as alças são mais largas.

  5. Amourette

    Série em renda muito elegante. Uma das séries de maior sucesso da Triumph. Em cada estação novas cores e modelos.

  6. Aplicação

    Nesta técnica são cosidas ou coladas rendas, bordados (ou partes de tecido) no material base.

    São flexíveis e utilizadas como reforço ou para modelar. No soutien evitam que o peito se desloque para os lados ou que as partes laterais enrolem. São também utilizadas em torseletes.

  1. No information

    Sorry there is no information available in this category.

  1. Guipure embroidery

    Created by covering the base fabric with stitching to form a continuous pattern then, using chemicals, heat treatment and washing, the background fabric is dissolved so that only the embroidery remains. Very time consuming and labour intensive, Guipure is very expensive.

  2. G-string

    Assumed to be named after the finest string on a violin, g-string refers to any brief with a 'string' or thong back (see thong and string brief).

  3. Galloon lace

    Narrow lace scalloped on both edges. Can be woven, knitted or embroidered, stretchy or rigid.

  1. Hidden Wire

    The underwire is hidden within the fabric, so it’s absolutely invisible and can hardly be felt.

  2. Halterneck

    Fastened by a single strap at the nape of the neck.

  1. Invisible underwear

    Perfect fitting underwear that can hardly be seen, using, among others, the Autosoft concept where the finest micro stretch threads are woven into the lace, right up to the edge for the smoothest ever line under clothes.

  1. Jacquardtronic-lace

    Lace created using modern machines with electronic steering that create the look of sophisticated woven lace.

  2. Jacquard

    Fabric with beautiful woven-in patterns. Using different yarns the pattern can be `lifted´ for a textured effect, a very time-consuming and labour-intensive process.

  1. Knitted fabrics

    Produced on a knitting machine, they have a natural stretch.

  1. Leavers lace

    The first lace produced on machines, uses a twist or weaving technique resulting in an elegant finish. These machines are no longer made and those that still exist work slowly and are costly to run, so this luxurious lace is now very expensive to manufacture.

  2. LYCRA®

    An Elastane "stretch" thread.

  3. Lace

    The first laces came from Italy in the 15th Century and were quickly distributed throughout Western Europe, which became a global centre for lace-making that still exists, though on a much smaller scale, today. France is famous for woven laces, embroidery laces come mostly from Switzerland and Austria, while Germany became famous after the war for burnt-out-lace. Before then laces were made by hand which was so labour intensive, they were only available to the rich.

  1. Multi-way straps

    Also known as variable straps (see V).

  2. Moulded cups

    Cups without seams, invisible under clothes. A heat and pressure process moulds fabric permanently into shape. Triumph has many years experience using this technique and our environment-friendly process plays a leading role in the marketplace.

  3. Modal

    Modified cellulose fibre made entirely from plants, feels similar to cotton.

  4. Minimiser

    A minimiser bra reduces the appearance of the bust by one cup size.

  5. Micro modal

  6. Micro fibre

    Threads made from polyester and polyamide, finer than the finest silk thread. Light, superfine fibres that are particularly soft, pliable and pleasant on the skin, offering maximum comfort.

  7. Meryl®

    Fine fibre technology in polyamide, registered by Nylstar.

  8. Mercerising

    Super combed Maco cotton is treated with a cold caustic soda solution. The fibres expand and become tight so their profile becomes rounded and the surface smooth.

  9. Maximiser bra

    A bra that makes the bust appear bigger - usually a push-up style that enhances cleavage.

  1. Nickel

    All components that Triumph uses, such as hooks and eyes, are nickel free.

  1. No information

  1. Push-up-bra

  1. Quality control

    Second to none at Triumph. We pride ourselves on the very highest quality control standards.

  1. Raschel lace

    Made using a special process that creates knitted stitches. The more thread systems used, the more impressive the pattern. Can be stretchy or rigid lace.

    Holds up stockings, sometimes detachable, increasingly popular since the launch of the hit movie Moulin Rouge.

  2. String brief

    see G-string.

  4. Softwear

    Triumph’s high-tech, high profile, revolutionary Softwear collection made its debut at the end of the Nineties and continues to win attention for great styling, brilliant shapes - and `disappearing´ under clothes!

  5. Simplex

    Reversible warp knit fabric that looks the same on both sides. Without elastane, so non-elastic.

     

  6. Sports Bra

    The breast is under extreme stress during sporting activities and as it has no muscles, can easily become stretched, so it’s vital to wear a sports bra. A dedicated sports bra is cut in such a way that the breasts are completely enclosed so they don’t move. Straps won’t restrict movement and at the same time won’t slip. Triumph International offers sports bras suitable for three different levels of intensity.

  7. Silicon

    Used as a 'gripper' band to prevent slippage, especially in strapless bras.

  8. Seamless cups

    See Moulded.

  9. Seamless

    Innovative circular knitting techniques have allowed seamless production of briefs and tops that fit like a second skin.

  10. Satin

    Smooth fabric, shiny on the outside and with a silky drape, can be stretch or non-stretch.

  1. Tri-Action

    Triumph’s famous range of sports bras designed specially to keep the bust properly supported during any form of exercise. The `Tri´ in Tri-Action comes from the triple action of each bra, giving support from above, below and each side.

    See G-string.

  3. Tulle

    A fine open base fabric with a honeycomb structure. Can be woven or knitted.

  4. Trenslo stays

  5. Textronic lace

    Development following on from Jacquardtronic lace with plastic patterns that create an embroidery effect.

  6. Tanga

    Brief with very narrow fabric, elastic or ribbon side panels.

  7. Tai

    Brief that fits up to the waist.

  8. Tactel

    Fine fibre made from 100% polyamide, extremely kind to the skin, soft and breathable. Tactel® Aquator also regulates moisture.

  1. Underwired bra

    Underwire is sewn into the bra to lift and shape the bust. Particularly suitable for larger cup sizes.

  2. Underbust width

    Measured in centimetres or inches, this gives the bra size i.e. 70, 75, 80 or 32, 34, 36. The difference between the upper- and underbust width gives the cup size i.e. A, B, C etc.

  1. Viscose

    Made from cellulose, usually from beech or pinewood trees, this synthetic fabrics has a particular sheen and soft feel.

  2. Variable straps

    Also known as multi-way straps, using a single set of straps in a variety of positions. A number of shapes can be achieved, for example halter, cross-back, standard and strapless.
