In one embodiment, a garment having a cup portion with two cups, a body portion integrated with the cup portion, and a band are disposed on the garment such that is extends beneath the cup portions. The band is either on the body portion or adjacent the body portion. The garment also has support structures with a configuration, each following proximately a contour of the lower part of its respective cup, wherein a portion of the support structure is formed on and fixed to the band and a portion of the support structure extends on the body of the garment and is attached thereto. As such the support structure configuration is approximately arcuate. The garment also has additional control regions. The control is provided by fabric or materials that have less stretch than the body fabric from which the body of the garment is made.

A sports garment includes a textile forming two or more compression zones. The compression zones include a motion-supporting compression zone configured to apply a first compressive force to a first area of a body and a body-shaping compression zone configured to apply a second compressive force to a second area of the body. The first compressive force supports a motion of the first area of the body. The second compressive force shapes the second area of the body.

In some embodiments, a bodysuit includes an outer shell with front and rear panel and a first inner lining with front and rear panels. Each of the front and rear panels of the first inner lining extends from above a waistline of the bodysuit to a seam at a respective side of a crotch region. The bodysuit may include a second inner lining attached to the front and rear panels of the first inner lining at first and second seams, the first and second seams located at first and second sides of the crotch region. The bodysuit also may include a third inner lining positioned on top of and attached to the second inner lining. Attachment of the first inner lining to the second inner lining and the second inner lining to the third inner lining may be accomplished via inner seams not visible on an exterior of the bodysuit.

A one-piece garment for use in physical exercise that appears to be three separate pieces of clothing and permits movement without requiring the user to adjust the fit of the garment as a result of the user's movement. The top of the torso piece is affixed to a bra and the bottom of the torso piece is affixed to a waistband which is in turn affixed to a pant, in each case to assist with avoiding the need to adjust the garment during exercise or other movement while maintaining coverage of the abdomen and the rest of the torso. The user can put on or take the garment off with ease similar to that of a one-piece swimsuit. The garment does not require the use of uncomfortable protrusive fasteners and avoids the need for the skin-tight or excessively loose appearance of typical one-piece exercise garments.

Wrap-style breast-supportive tops comprise an outer fabric layer, an inner fabric layer coupled to the outer fabric layer and positioned to be between the outer fabric layer and a wearer when the wearer is wearing the wrap-style breast-supportive top, and a fastening system. The top is either a right-side out top or a left-side out top, with the fastening system configured to secure a left edge of the inner fabric layer adjacent to the right side of the wearer's upper torso and a right edge of the inner fabric layer adjacent to the left side of the wearer's upper torso.
