A seamless compression garment providing gradual steps of compression from top to bottom of the garment as worn, while following contours of the body of the wearer. Transition of the various steps of compression are seamless, without sewing. A compression garment top may include first, second, and third fabric portions disposed about a circumference of the garment, the first fabric portion having a high compression rating, the second fabric portion located above the first fabric portion and having a medium compression rating, the third fabric portion located below the first fabric portion and having a medium compression rating. A compression legging garment may include first, second, third or more fabric portions disposed about the garment, each fabric portion having a strategically designed compression rating. Where specifically located stretch resistance and material hold is desired, stretch fusing can be applied to certain segments of one or more fabric portions.

A wearable article, comprising a treatment delivery system, the system having a pliable assembly of layers, including an absorbent layer or other receptacle layer having a surface for absorbing or containing a treatment agent and intended to orient against a wearer's skin (dermal embodiment) or outside of the article oriented towards the wearer's olfactory system (aromatherapy embodiment); a base layer for the wearable article; a barrier or other backing layer for selectively blocking the passage of the treatment agent, while preferably allowing skin moisture to pass through the backing layer disposed between the receptacle layer and the backing layer.

A body shaping garment element includes a garment and a bulge minimizer. The garment includes a superior edge, interior portion, and exterior portion. The bulge minimizer includes a stretchable element and a padded element. The stretchable element includes two ends and is affixed to the garment along the superior edge on the interior portion. The padded element may be removably placed between the stretchable element and the garment though a variety of means, thereby minimizing any bulging of adipose tissue of the wearer above the superior edge of the garment.

An on-demand manufacturing of apparel system includes online customization and ordering of garments, previewing of the garments, manufacturing including laser finishing of garments, and delivery to the customer. Laser finishing of apparel products reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduces product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Fabric templates can be used to produce a multitude of laser finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. As the user designs apparel, the system provides feedback as to what designs can be used, such as avoiding technical constraints with their designs.
