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.

A method of removing a sports bra comprising inserting a sports bra removal device between a band of the sports bra and a torso of a wearer. The sports bra removal device is looped around the band. The method includes cinching the sports bra removal device around the band. The method includes doffing the sports bra from the wearer and removing the device from the sports bra.

Systems or methods for anatomy patterning a garment are provided. Anatomy patterning is any deliberate manipulation of a garment's pattern in order to change the perceived shape of a wearer of the garment toward a desired appearance. Additionally, the garments that result from use of these systems and methods for anatomy patterning are also provided.

An undergarment such as a bra has very sheer sleeves such that the sleeves are virtually invisible. The sheer sleeves are also elasticized, for example, made of nylon and spandex, to provide compressive support to the wearer's arms. The sheer sleeves may have a color that matches one of several different skin tones.

An adjustable, cleavage-enhancing undergarment system is described. In one embodiment, a compression paddle includes a first surface contoured to engage with at least a portion of a user's breast. The compression paddle may include a mechanical coupling configured to engage with an end of a force generating member. The compression paddle may include a locking mechanism configured to engage a rotational state wherein the compression paddle is configured to rotate about an axis that is substantially coaxial to the end of the force generating member, and engage a locked state wherein the compression paddle is mechanically locked at an angular position selectable by the user.

A vacuum system for a wearable article includes an adjustable element operable to form at least a portion of the wearable article. The adjustable element includes a bladder that defines an exterior surface and an interior void and a port disposed on the exterior surface of the bladder. The port is operable to provide selective communication with the interior void of the bladder. The vacuum system also includes a pump operable to automatically draw a predetermined volume of fluid out of the interior void upon engagement with the port to move the adjustable element from a relaxed state to a constricted state.

A 180-degree rotatable chest binder for compressing, flattening and stabilizing the breasts of the wearer. The chest binder is constructed of inner and outer layers, each made of four panels, joined together along the neck opening, arm openings and bottom openings of the wearer. This design permits the inner and outer layers to move independently, serving the two different functions of moving with the body for comfort while also compressing the chest.

A novel brassiere includes an outer fabric garment comprising a shoulder strap and a back strap and a monolithic and contiguous breast support that may comprise a molded polymer material. The monolithic and contiguous polymer breast support includes a dcolletage region, two breast cups, and an inter-breast region. An inter-breast thickness of the molded polymer material is at least four times greater than the thickness in the dcolletage region or in either of the breast cups. The outward surfaces of the inter-breast and dcolletage regions are preferably not convex.

Counterbalancing apparatus, systems and methods that balance breast weight load to a user's back. A body portion is supported along the user's back, and a plurality of pockets reside one the body portion. Elongated flexible connector straps extend up from the body portion, over the shoulders, and connect to a bra cup. One or more weights retained within the plurality of pockets pull the bra cup portion upward and lift up the breasts. The weight measure of these weights is substantially equivalent to a combined breast weight measure to equilibrate the breast weight to the combined weight measure across the user's body to correct for breast weight load imbalance at the user's front and improve posture.

A female breast support apparatus is disclosed. The present invention discloses a rigid body member with rounded ends and curved sides to be placed between the female breasts to reduce or prevent the occurrence of wrinkles between the breasts due to various reasons, such as breast implants, pregnancy, aging etc., while the female is sleeping sideways.
