have invented an imp el-Corsets, of which the is a spoon cation.

c tii re and in an effort to conform to the prevailing sty sand fashions there is an eifort among we en both stout and slender to make them-eel 3 appear more slende ian they are i i reality, and in the cases or in women the tension applied to the body by the corset gari t to 1 reduce this effect ofte times bears a st the hip bone with a sumcient pressure to be painful and many time in such a manner to he injurious. The object therefore of the or sent inveu n is to overcome this difil hulty by prot ding a corset garment in which in the sides thereof there are provided concave sections adapted to conforito the hip bones of wearer in such a manner as to relieve the pressure which would otherwise be exerted against the hip bones and to enable the wearer to use the corset to produce the desired slender appearance without any injurious bodily effect.

In carrying out the invention to produce the desired effect the corset garment is preferablv made in halves to be connected at the front by the usual Clasps and at the back by the customary adjusting laces and the central or side por ion of each corset body half is made in parts pr ferably three in number and extending from the top to the bottom of the garment and so shaped and connected, as hereinafter described, as to form a circinnferential concave section into which the hip bone of the wearer is adapted to so that no undue pressure in the use of the garment will be brought to bear against the hip bone.

In the drawing:

Figure l is a perspective view illustrating the use of the corset garment made in accordance with this invention, and

Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view of one half of the garment.

Referring particularly to the drawing and as hereinbefore statec the corset'made in accordance with this invention is made in the usual corset body halves which are designated by 10 and 11 respectively. As is customary these corset body halves in the front portions are provided with steels 12, one of 1, city, county, and

which is fitted with the usual stud members 13 and the other with the usual socket members to be engaged the one with the other in con necting the halves of the garment at the front thereof. Also as is customary, the halves of the garment at the back are fitted with series of eyelets 15 to receive the adjusting laces as commonly employed in securing the garment in'position on the body of the wearer. In this corset also the corset body halves thereof are provided with depending skirt members which are indicated respectively at 16 and 1?". As shown in the drawing the front portion of each corset body half is provided with stays 18 that are suitably placed therein, and the back portion of each corset body half with stays 19 which are suitably placed therein.

The central portion of each corset body half or that part thereof which lies at the side of the wearer is preferably made in sections so shaped and connected as to have a concave section for the reception of the hip of the wearer. It will be understood that the number of parts comprising this central portion of each corset body half may be varied, although. as illustrated I prefer to make this central portion in three parts as indicated, the central part being designated by 20 and the parts lying on either side thereof by 21 and 22. These parts of the central portion extend from the upper edge of the garment through the body portion thereof and to the lower edge of the skirt member and the central part 20 at the lower end is pointed as indicated at 23 and the edges thereof diverge upwardly with curved portions 2% and 26, the curvature of which gradually decreases until at points above the waistline the edges of this central member are substantially straight and continue so to the upper edge of the garment as indicated at 25 and 27. The outer parts 21 and 22 of the central portion are correspondingly shaped but reversely placed, diverging from the upper edge of the corset downwardly to the lower edge of the skirt member and these parts are connected to one another by linesof stitching 1nd1cated respect1vely at 28 and .'sure in the use of the garment is brought to bear against the hip bone. Also as indicated in the drawing'the front portions of the corset body halves. may be fitted with hose supporter straps 31 and preferably I also employ hose supporter straps attached to the lower edge of the skirtsection at the base of the central part 20, these hose supporter straps being indicated at 32.

I claim as my invention:

1. An apparel corset comprising corset body halves each having depending skirts, and a side portionmade of component parts ea'ch'extending from the upper edge of the garment to the lower edge of the skirt and formed and connected to provide a circumferential concave section for fitting over the hip bone of the wearer to relieve the pres-.

' sure otherwise placed thereon in the use of the garment.

2. An apparel corset comprising corset bodyhalves each having depending skirts, and a side portion made of a central and two adjacent parts each extending fromvthe" upper edge of the garment to the lower edge of the skirt member, the central part being pointed at its lower end and having its'edges diverging upwardly and curved for a predecircumferential concave section therein at the curved edge portions thereof to fit over the hip of the wearer torelieve the pressure which would otherwise be placed thereon in the use ofthe garment.
