A form-fitting garment with an elastic fabric having a first modulus of elasticity, the form-fitting garment when worn by a user generates an elastic tension pressing the fabric against a user's body; and provides a pattern of elastic bonding material having a second modulus of elasticity so that the elastic bonding material is bonded to the elastic fabric to form a composite garment material that has the elastic fabric as a first layer and the elastic bonding material as a second layer. A joint third modulus of elasticity of the composite material is more than twice the elastic fabric's first modulus of elasticity so that the elastic tension pressing the fabric against the user's body forms a pattern of pressure spaces of higher pressure where bonding material is located in comparison to spaces where no bonding material is located.

An article of apparel may include a garment having a loose-fitting outer shell and an integrated compression band within the outer shell and configured to apply compression to a portion of the body of a wearer of the garment to promote muscle recovery. The compression band may be disposed internal to, and separate from, the outer shell of the garment.

A calf muscle enhancement pad; the calf muscle enhancement pad includes a pad with a body having a concave first-side and a second-side opposing the first-side. The first-side includes an adhesive layer for removably securing the pad to a calf portion of a leg of a user-wearer. The adhesive layer may include a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The pad further includes a removable cover for concealing the adhesive layer before use. The second-side includes a calf-muscle-like extension having a profile of a sculpted calf muscle for enhancing a natural appearance of the calf portion and overall leg of the user-wearer during wear.

Mesh fabric panels that provide a compressive force to a wearer's mid-section and tummy-covering garments equipped with the mesh fabric panels are disclosed. The mesh fabric panels can be formed of a material having a suitable rigidity for providing the compressive force. The mesh fabric panels include left and right panels adapted to be stitched or otherwise affixed to left and right front sections, respectively, of a garment such as a pant, a dress, a skirt, shorts, swimwear, or the like. Each of the left and right mesh fabric panels includes a seam side edge adapted to be affixed to a corresponding seam side of a tummy-covering garment, a fly side edge adapted to be affixed to a fly facing of the garment, a waist edge, and a bottom edge. The left and/or right mesh fabric panel may be a dual layer panel.

An article of apparel comprising a first panel joined to a second panel such that a neck opening, a right arm opening, a left arm opening, and a waist opening are formed, and a midline plane extends through the article of apparel from one side to the other and through at least the neck opening, right arm opening, and left arm opening to define an anterior portion and a posterior portion of the article of apparel. In some aspects, the first panel extends from the anterior portion to the posterior portion proximate to the neck opening. In other aspects, the second panel extends to the anterior portion inferior to the right arm opening and left arm opening to a right seam and a left seam, respectively.

A fashion accessory anchor device includes a pair of garment strap receiving holes disposed laterally on the device and an engagement surface in communication with the pair of receiving holes, the engagement surface for disposing the device on a nape of a user and through which a pair of garment straps are received. The anchor device further includes a fashion accessory retention region oriented relative to the pair of receiving holes to support a fashion accessory hanging therefrom.

The Active Wear Exercise Garment, for men and women, can be worn alone or under clothing, and has various features. The Top section, which supports the breast and chest area, is constructed with fabric that has a plurality of densities with integrated elasticity, such as LYCRA®, spandex, or knit fabric. The Mid to Lower Top section, the Pant section, and the abdomen Wrap are constructed with a four way multi-functional fabric, such as neoprene or similar fabric, and provides multiple benefits to the wearer all at once. These benefits include water weight loss, moisture management, body support, odor control, comfort, and flexibility. The Side Panels have the same fabric as the Top section such as LYCRA®, spandex, or knit fabric, and provides extra support, ease of ingress and egress of the garment, room for the body to decrease or expand, extra breathability so that the body does not overheat, extra comfort and flexibility, provides moisture wicking and quick drying support, and extends from the under arm section to the bottom of the garment.

A pair of abdomen trousers, includes a trouser body provided with a abdomen part gradually reduced from bottom to top, a plastic film adhered inside of the abdomen part, and a plurality of holes defined on the plastic film, and the holes are uniformly arranged. According to the present disclosure, the plastic film is applied in the abdomen part of the trousers and is adhered inside of the fabric, such that one's waist can be shaped with an excellent effect. For one with a waist or belly fat, a good shaping effect can be achieved by putting on the trousers. Additionally, the trousers are made of elastic and breathable fabric, such that the tightness around the waist or discomforts can be avoided.

The present invention describes a muscle enhancement device comprises a pad sandwiched between two pieces of fabric. The pad is surround by a transitional edge. When muscle enhancement device is being worn properly, the muscle enhancement device is changed from a relaxed state to a stretched state and pad provides a soft, comfortable diffused and obscure edge.

The disclosure provides a compression garment (68) formed of a stretchable fabric (10) with a uniform, i.e. constant, elasticity but in which the compression garment provides different degrees of garment compression when worn by a wearer due to geometric cuts (6, 8) made to the fabric to form one or more fabric panels (2, 4) that extend the entire length of the circumferential portion (60) of the garment. The circumferential portion surrounds a wearer's body part (66) and includes degrees of compression that vary at different locations (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26), along the axial direction (62). The geometric cuts produce non-linear edges (6A, 6B, 8A, 8B) and are made to provide different circumferential lengths (12F, 14F, 16F, 18F, 20F, 22F, 24F, 26F) of fabric that produce desired compression levels at various axial locations, and are calculated using formulas and algorithms that take into account various factors relating to the fabric and the garment being formed.
