A garment with compression-generating sections includes: at least one body section including a portion that is tubular when the garment is worn; and at least one compression-generating section. The body section is stretchable so as to fit a wearer's body. The compression-generating section is disposed in such a manner that, when the garment is worn, it is located above a body region where skin sagging occurs and extends in a direction along Langer's lines. The compression-generating section has lower stretchability than the body section at least in an insertion direction in order to increase compression provided by a portion of the garment where the compression-generating section is disposed.

A shapewear garment including an abdomen section and two leg sections. At least one of the two leg sections includes at least one pocket that is adapted to secure items.

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.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a garment that, when worn, can form a womanlike body line and better suppress a manlike body line. This lower body garment 100 comprises a front piece 101 and a rear piece 103.

Designing garments that include brassiere cups can be challenging due to the natural fluctuation of a woman's breast size, as well as a possible disconnect between the size of her breasts and the size of the rest of her body. The high range of size variability places pressure on stores to stock inventories that include great ranges of sizes. This places an inventory risk to the store, since rarer sizes may never sell. The disclosed garment addresses these issues by including a fit-adjustable brassiere portion. The cups of the fit-adjustable brassiere portion include fit-modifying panels that increase their flexibility and elasticity. The rear side of the fit-adjustable brassiere portion includes a back adjuster with highly elastic regions that enables the brassiere portion to fit a broader range of chest sizes. Each of these features give the garment a more universal fit and enable stores to carry fewer sizes.

The invention provides a form-fitting garment configured to enhance the buttocks of the wearer. A garment of the invention includes a pair of buttock overlay portions sized and positioned to overlay the buttocks of the wearer and a pair of buttock support bands disposed beneath the buttock overlay portions sized and positioned to overlay a portion of a wearer's body beneath each buttock so as to apply compression to the portion of the wearer's body beneath each buttock. The buttock overlay portions and buttock support bands cooperate to provide support and/or add lift and/or curve to the buttocks of the wearer.

A garment comprises a neck opening for receiving a neck of a wearer and a supportive inner layer having a body portion and a pelvic portion.

The garment also comprises a decorative outer layer, with the inner layer attached to the outer layer only at or adjacent to the neck opening. The outer layer is made from a different material to that of the inner layer and does not impart compression on the wearer.
