An undergarment assembly for inhibiting bulges resulting from an elastic undergarment includes a garment for wearing over brassiere and beneath clothing. The garment is comprised of a deformable and non-elastic material such that said garment does not constrict when said garment is worn. In this way the garment is inhibited from forming bulges on a user's torso that may be visible through the clothing. The garment includes a pair of straps and each of the straps is releasably attached to a respective pair of brassiere straps to retain the garment on the user.

A garment including a back panel, a belly panel, a bodice portion, and gussets. The back panel and belly panel are made of compression fabric and the bodice portion and gussets are made of stretchable fabric. The bodice portion is configured to be partially removable to expose an underlying inner nursing layer.

Thermal garments with reduced weight and bulk and improved packability include targeted zones of increased thermal resistive properties. Such garments may include: (a) a first garment region extending along a central back portion of the garment from the waist area of the garment to the neck area; (b) second and third garment regions extending along the sides of the garment from the waist area to the underarm area; and (c) a fourth garment region extending between the first and second garment regions, between the first and third garment regions, and between the second and third garment regions. The fourth garment region includes a thermal material having a lower thermal resistive value than the thermal resistive values of the thermal materials associated with the first, second, and third garment regions. Methods of making such garments also are described.

A garment includes a front and a back. The garment also includes an openable seam separating the front and the back and a releasable closure to secure the openable seam together. The garment also includes a closing feature to draw the front and the back together and engage the releasable closure to enclose the openable seam.

An undergarment in one embodiment includes a tubular torso portion with straps comprising a resiliently deformable material, long enough to about cover a portion of the intended wearer's buttocks and is made of a deformable material with a modulus low enough that the garment will not bunch up while being worn, while having sufficient modulus so that the portion of the garment that at least partially covers the buttocks remains snug and causes the garment to adhere to the intended wearer's buttocks so as to prevent the garment from substantially shifting out of position.

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a garment that includes a body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The body has an anterior knit region having a first knitting pattern configured to stretch across a portion of a wearer's abdominal area, a second knitting pattern configured to stretch across a portion of a wearer's chest area, a posterior knit region having the first knitting pattern configured to stretch about a portion of the wearer's back, a first lateral knit region having a third knitting pattern different from the first knitting pattern configured to stretch about a portion of the wearer's left lateral area, and a second lateral knit region having the third knitting pattern configured to stretch about a portion of the wearer's right lateral area.
