Deceptive appearances

Abstract: These days women tend to try to keep their figures in shape by exercise. Daedalus, however, has a scheme to revive the foundation-garment industry. Such underclothes require not tension for tightness, which just squeezes the wearer, but directional rigidity. The scheme, then, involves the creation of a fabric woven of microgirders which can resist bending and which will impose the fabric's shape subtly but firmly on the wearer.
