Provided is a bottom garment that does not inhibit ease of movement during action, and has a large pivot effect with respect to the knee. A bottom garment according to the present invention includes elastic yarn and is configured of a body fabric and an inner fabric, wherein the inner fabric is superposed on the inside of the body fabric, the bottom garment having a double structure in which at least a portion of the inner fabric is not joined to the body fabric. The bottom garment is characterized in that 0.1≤A/B<1.0 is satisfied, where A is the stress upon 80% elongation in the vertical direction of a product of the inner fabric, and B is the stress upon 80% elongation in the horizontal direction of the product of the inner fabric.

A wearable device for lifting an area of skin on a wearer's torso below the wearable device in use includes a gripping element with an outer surface, and an inner surface formed of or coated with a non-slip material. The gripping element includes a band configured to encircle a lower part of a wearer's ribcage. The non-slip material extends along the band and contacts the skin. The wearable device further includes at least one lifting element secured to the gripping element and configured to extend over a shoulder of the wearer and to be adjustable in length. In use, the at least one lifting element is adjustable to exert a lifting force on the gripping element, the skin gripped thereby, and an area of skin on the torso below the gripping element.

Shapewear enhances the appearance of areas of a wearer's body, including the abdominal region. Typical shapewear that targets the abdominal area is often uncomfortable, because it uses methods to provide additional control to the area that also decrease the flexibility of the fabric. The shapewear garment disclosed herein includes a region configured to cover the abdominal region of a wearer. The abdominal region of the shapewear garment includes at least one dart provided in the fabric. The fabric of the shapewear garment is a high-elasticity fabric containing from about 20% to about 60% elastane. The darts in the abdominal region increase the control in the targeted abdominal area without significantly decreasing the flexibility and comfort of the high-elasticity fabric.

Articles, such as garments, including films comprising dried aqueous polyurethane dispersions are disclosed, whereby the garment has an altered stress which is exhibited during wear of the garment. The film may be bonded to the fabric of the article to provide a fabric or film laminate.
