Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 7, 1915. Serial no. 26,578.
To all whom it may ooncemf Be it known that I, MYRA JULIET TAYLOR, a citizen of the Commonwealth of Australia, residing at Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, have invented a new and useful Waist, of which the following. is a specification.
This invention relates to a flexible waist, having its respective parts so constructed and arranged as to provide for the free and unrestricted movement of the-. wearer, by adapting itself to the movementyof the body in any direction, at the same time causing a conscious feeling of support to those parts of the body which it has hitherto been considered necessary should be supported by stays or corsets composed partly of metal and bone reinforcing materials, such being considered indispensable in order to preserve the true shape and contour of the wearers body.
It is known that-wearing such corsets occasions much discomfort on account of their non-elasticit The presedginvention is intended to elimi nate the use f such stiffening materials in part of the garment. The front parts A the formation of a flexible camisole, but at the same time provide for the use of supporting devices by peculiarly shaping and treating the materials of which it is composed,
method of drawing the fit-v ting parts into clo e contact with those portions of the body where it is desired there should be created the feeling of added suport. p Further desired objects to be attained in this form of camisole stayette, is its cheapness, and that it is washable and capable of prolonged wear.
Referring to the accompanying drawings,
which form part of this specification:
Figure 1 is a back elevation of a complete camisole stayette (as designed by the inventor for a full bodied person) showing its appearance when the bodice is spreadout flatwith the back part overlying the front part,
exposing to view the shoulder'loops, the under-arm'and other seams, with darts and V elastic parts which are essential to obtain true form and accurate fitting, also suspenders on either side of the elastic parts. The gosition of the crossed bands is indicated by otted lines only.
Fig. 2 is a similar elevation of but with the crossed bands and their guide Fig. 1,
loops shown in position, and partially covering portions of the seams and stifi'ened parts. Fig- 3 is a front elevation of the spread out garment with the bodice parts overlaid as in Fig. 1, showing the general arrangement of the seams, darts,'breast hollows, and V elastic parts, the position of the crossed bands being indicated by dotted lines only.
Fig. 4 is a similar elevation to Fig. 3, but with the crossed bands shown in their fastening position, with the loops also in place.
ig. 5 is a right hand side elevation', showing the bust fitted shape of the garment, with its various parts disposed in their relative positionsto obtain the desired rigidity and elasticity. In the figures the bodice is showncut to the required shape--composed of a number of parts, the back being formed with the parts A and A connected togetherby the back stiffening seam B, positioned so as to overlie the spinal column of the wearer. Each half is cut awa to form a center V in whichelastic webbing C is inserted and stitched in'position to the edge seams C which are continued around the bottom.
\andA are united to back pieces'A and A by the. stitched under-arm stiffening scams 3 and B respectively.
Each front piece has-its Vshaped cut with Patented a aaa, tam.
theelastic webbing-D and D inserted there in and secured by the stitched seams D and D which are further continued to theoverlapping front ed es, continuing then upward to the-top, t e one side bein pierced with holes to receive the buttons E y which the garment isfastened. Both of these upward overlapping. seams are provided with V-shaped incisions in which the elastic webbing E and E are stitched. This-webbing provides relief from the drag of the front suspenders F, while the back suspenders Gr are relieved of their drag by the elastic webbing C, D, and D which are also serviceable in the expansive body movement occasioned by freedom of action in the lower limbs from the hips downward. The, curved fitting waist shape is obtained by the use of the upwardly directing darts D .and D shown ex-.
tending above from the webbing D and D and also'by the curved seams B and B? which are likewise used for uniting the back and front parts.
Seam B and dart D are. united by the spiral seam B spiral strengthening seam B and the seam B and dart D and similarly united by the The object of the spiral seams is to insure the accurate fitting of the parts and likewise to insure in the mind of the wearer a consciousness of support to the body which is further enhanced by the adjustment of the straps hereinafter referred to. The overlapping Vs E and E have associated with them the curved double pointed stitched darts H and H which besides giving added strength to the webbed parts are also serviceable in obtaining the requisite fitting shape of the article. To insure equal movement upwardly and downwardly of the V parts E and E a securing button E would be located in the center of the overlapping part. Other curved darts I and I shown on Fig. 3 extending serve the general contour of the garment. v
Cross straps N and N are secured to the back of the garment throughthe medium of shoulder straps J and J and extend partially around the armhole to the under arm stiffening and joining seams B and B The said straps N and N are thence partly extended around the waist and across the front of the garment terminating in the form of a belt which may be united by a fastener in the form of a buckle and the like. For the guidance of the cross over bands in the desired direction loops 0 and O are provided partially covering the underarm seams B and B and other guiding loops P and P? secured on the front of the garment serve to keep the strap ends in their proper position at the front. It is to be understood that these cross bands are only united to the garment at the parts indicated so as to obtain the requisite straining effect and further the necessary freedom for adjusting other parts to thebody in their rightful positions. Such rightful positions being in the diagonal direction indicated in the back view Fig. 2 and in the horizontal position of the united ends in Fig. 4.
It is essential that these cross bands shall be stiffened by stitching the fabric at suitable intervals in the length of the material to prevent creasing and moreover that when in position a certain amount of exactitude shall be observed in their disposition and arrangement to insure their meeting over the spinal colunm seamB.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In an improved stayette for body wear, a body part consisting of a back part formed of .two pieces of fabric united in the center With a stiffening seam adapted to overlie the spinal column, a V shaped cut out marginal seamed opening extending downwardly and outwardly from said stiffening seam; elastic in the said opening, united to the margins thereof, two front parts of the said garment each united to one half of the said back portions by an under arm seam extending from the arm hole downwardly to the bottom edge of the garment,- a marginal seamed V shaped opening formed in the bottom part of each of the said front parts, elastic in each of the said V shaped parts, darts extending upwardly from each of the said V parts, a spiral seam arranged to unite the said darts with the said underarm' seams, as described and shown and for the purposes set forth.
2. In an improved stayette for body wear comprising a two-part back united together by a centrally stiffened seam terminating short of the lower ends of the parts, an
ping edges of the front part; a pair of crossbands connected to one end of the two-part back and adapted to extend through. loops disposed on the sides and front portions of the stayette and means for uniting the free ends of the cross bands together.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in presence of two witnesses.
