A garment adjustment system includes a first connective element removably fastened to a garment by at least a first fastener affixed to the garment in a first location. A second connective element is removably fastened to the garment by at least a second fastener affixed to the garment in a second location. A linking component is linked to the first connective element and the second connective element such that adjustment of the linking component changes a distance between the first location and the second location of the garment.

A method of forming a textile element (10) for use as a structural support component in a garment is provided. The method includes providing a fabric strip (12) having a plush surface (16). A molten thermoplastic coating (14) is applied to the plush surface (16) of the fabric strip (12) so that the molten thermoplastic coating (14) penetrates the plush surface (16). The molten thermoplastic coating (14) is allowed to cool or cure and solidify so as to embed at least surface yarns of the plush surface (16) in the thermoplastic coating (14) and thereby form a composite structure at a juncture (J) between the thermoplastic coating (14) and the plush surface (16).

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.

A lower torso garment, such as a brief, includes a body having a pair of leg openings, a crotch portion between the leg openings, and a waist opening, and a waist band connected to the body and positioned at the waist opening. The waist band includes an elastomeric band affixed between overlapping plies of fabric, and the elastomeric band includes a thermoplastic elastomer film. The elastomeric band is positioned between the overlapping plies of fabric.
