A garment includes an exterior garment having a waist portion, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. An inner lining is attached to the exterior garment at the waist portion, the inner lining including a first leg portion disposed within the first leg portion of the exterior garment, and a second leg portion disposed within the second leg portion of the exterior garment. The inner lining includes a shaping material.

Provided are half corsets and methods of using them. The half corsets provide improved comfort and a quicker way of fastening and unfastening them.

Use of different knit structures at strategic locations on the garment, allow for it to provide compression and comfort at strategic locations on a woman's postpartum body.

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, an undergarment that includes a pant body having an anterior knit region having a first knitting pattern, a posterior knit region having the first knitting pattern, a first lateral knit region having a second knitting pattern different from the first knitting pattern, extending between the anterior knit region and the posterior knit region, and a second lateral knit region having the second knitting pattern, extending between the anterior knit region and the posterior knit region, and a gusset panel having the second knitting pattern, extending between an entirety of the anterior knit region and the posterior knit region.

A composite material for garments, such as shapewear and sportswear garments, is formed of an outer layer that is highly elastic with high compression and an inner layer provided on the outer layer and made of a material that is elastic, waterproof and oil proof. The outer layer is a fabric base fabricated from a blend of polyester and spandex. The inner layer comprises a coating of polyurethane (PU) containing nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO.sub.2). When used to fabricate a garment, the inner layer of the composite material is adjacent to the body of the wearer when the garment is worn such that perspiration from the wearer's skin and/or skin contact products, such as oil/water based body creams and gels, applied to the wearer's skin are not absorbed by the inner layer and are thereby prevented by the inner layer from being transmitted to the fabric base.

This improved form fitting girdle consists primarily of thigh members having fabric panels being connected to top and bottom crotch pieces. The crotch pieces are a part of the front section and the back section of the girdle. Closing members are positioned along the inner edges of the panels. The closing members fasten the thigh members while leaving an opening between the free edges of the bottom crotch piece and the top crotch piece. The top and bottom crotch pieces have a generally rectangular configuration and overlap in the crotch area of the wearer.

A garment to provide targeted training of small muscles along a spine of a user. The garment can be configured to extend around a torso of a user from an upper end portion to a lower end portion. A plurality of weights can be distributed and arranged along the body. The body and the plurality of weights can be configured to conform to the fleshy part of a user's body and to provide deep touch pressure compression of the plurality of weights to the torso to target the small postural muscles supporting the spine of a user when worn by the user, to engage and train the small postural muscles of the spine. The plurality of weights can be movable relative to one another with movement of the vertebrae of the user's spine, and the weights can be configured to move in a corresponding motion with the vertebrae of the user.
