Aspects herein relate to a waistband construct designed to provide support to a torso area of a wearer and more specifically, a mid to lower torso area of a human wearer, (i.e. a pelvic area of a wearer). The waistband construct in accordance herein may have a multiple modulus of elasticity construction with at least one variation in modulus of elasticity along a circumference of the waistband construct. For example, the waistband construct in accordance with aspects herein may have a first portion having a first modulus of elasticity and a second portion having a second modulus of elasticity, where at least the portion having the higher modulus of elasticity may have a multiple layer construction for providing an effective support mechanism to at least a portion of the mid to lower torso area of the wearer.

The present invention provides an easy settable stretch fabric comprising three types of yarns: a rigid fiber, an elastic fiber, and a low-melt fiber, wherein the low-melt fiber comprises low-melt polymer which can be fused in the temperature between 60° C. to 200° C., being higher than the temperature used for normal textile process and household laundry, but lower than the temperature used for heat setting elastic fiber. The low-melt fiber can be selected from a group of fibers made from modified polyester, nylon, and polypropylene and the copolymer from them in the form of staple or filament.

This disclosure relates to a buttocks support garment that cannot be seen through clothing and that provides a natural-looking, lifted buttocks, and methods related thereto. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

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 and/or has one or more sections of waterproof or water-resilient fabric. The film may be bonded to the fabric of the article to provide a fabric or film laminate.

The garments disclosed herein have integrated gripping technology to grip the body of the wearer over large interior surfaces. The distribution of gripping technology throughout the garment gives increased freedom of body movement and reduces bulkiness over conventional garments, while also allowing for free cut edges. Furthermore, the dispersion of the gripping technology over the majority of the garment eliminates the problem of polymer strips and beading digging into the skin. Slip garment embodiments are disclosed herein that include a lower region having an interior surface with exposed elastic threads configured to directly contact the wearer. The slip garment embodiments include a free-cut lower edge. The slip garment embodiments can be constructed using cut and sew methods.

A shapewear undergarment can include first and second leg openings where the first leg opening is located at a greater distance from a hip portion than the second leg opening, such that the shapewear undergarment will cover a greater portion of a wearer's first thigh than the wearer's second thigh when worn.

A corrective garment that constricts and corrects at least a lower portion of a human body and that has a compression reduced portion covering only an infraumbilical region of the human body. This corrective garment enables a wearer to breathe more deeply to resolve a feeling of suffocation, while less loosely constricting the abdominal region.

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 relates to a compression garment designed to be worn by women, pregnant or post-partum, for body-shaping and/or after an injury or surgery. The compression garment comprises a plurality of hooks or clips sewn to the garment to which a plurality of straps are attached. The straps are grasped by a user to easily pull on and off the garment. The straps can be stored in a pocket disposed in the garment for a seamless appearance. The compression garment has a removable crotch region to be removed when a user uses a restroom, thereby eliminating removal of the entire compression garment.

This disclosure relates to a buttocks support garment that cannot be seen through clothing and that provides a natural-looking, lifted buttocks, and methods related thereto. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.
