Application filed July 17,
Fig. l is a view showing a development of my improved bodicette; and
Fig. 2 is a view on a smaller scale of the same in rear elevation, showing the openbaclr brassiere thereof. 1
My invention relates to an improvement in that class of garments for womens wear known as bodice'ttes, which combine, in one garment, a girdle and a brassiere, the object of my present invention beingto produce a bodicettc designed with particular reference to being worn with evening dress and to giving the wearer a high degree of case and comfort, insofar the garment provides for ventilation and exceptional freedom of movement.
lVith these ends in view, niy invention consists in a bodicette characterized by hav ing a girdle-portion and an open-back brassiere. l I
lily invention further consists in abodi cette characterized above and l'iavinp; certain other details of construction will be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In carrying out my invention, as herein shown, the girdle, which is fashioned to exten l from the waist-line down well over the hips, comprises a non-elastic front and a non-elastic back 6, the upper or abdominal portion of the former being reinforced as shown by a medial bone 7, and two out wardly-inclined bones 8 located on the opposite sides thereof, and the back-portion (3 being reinforced by five vertically-arranged, substantially-parallel bones 9, of which the two outer bones, located at its edges, are somewhat shorter than the three intermediate bonesv The righbhand side-section of the girdle comprises a non-elastic, hip-covering section 10 extending from the upper to the lower edge of the girdle and arranged to cover the right hip of the wearer, this section being reinforced at its upper ends by short bones 11. Between the said nonelastic hip-covering section 10 and the noneiastic front-section 5, I locate an elasticsection 12 extending from the lower to the upper edge of the girdle and tapering from its lower to its upper. end. Between the opposite edge of the said non-elastic section 10 and the adjacent or forward edge of the non-elastic backsection 6, I locate an elastic 1926. Serial No. 123,127.
made in the same manner as the right-hand side-section thereof, and comprises the sanic elements, which are designated by corre sponding numerals, save that the non'elastic hip-covering section corresponding to the hip-section 10 before described, longitudh nally divided to form half-sections 10 1.0, furnished upon theirjrespective edges with individual fastening devices in the form of eyes 16 and hooks 17, these fasten: "7
ing deviccsyas will be noted, being located directly in non-elastic portionsof the garment and well separated from the elastic portions thereof.
It will also be particularly noted that those portions of the girdle which overlie the hips proper of the wearer are nonelastic, the elastic elements 12 and 13 of the girdle being located between these nonelastic, centrally-arranged hip-covering sec tions 10 and the I1011-8l21Sl3lC front and baclc sections 5 and 6 of the girdle.
The bi-assier feature of my improved bodicette has its front composed of a central section 18 and complementary side-sections 19, the former consisting of an upward ex: tension of the non-elastic front-section 5 of the girdle, and the latter being made independent of and applied to the upper ends of the elastic and non-elastic elements of the side-sections thereof, but in no case do the elastic elements of the girdle extend upward into the brassiel'e thereof.
The described brassiere is supported at its respective ends by two complementary, substantially-triangular brassiere-supports 20 having downwardly and rearwardly-curved upper edges continuing the curve of the bowed upper edge of the brassiere. The said supports, virtually forming upward err tensions of the non-elastic hip-sections 10 and the non-elastic gores 14, are each reinforced by two diagonally-arranged bones 21' differentiated in length according to their position. The upper edge of the back-section 6 of the girdle is provided with a horizontally-arranged elastic strap 22 extending entirely across itand joining the rear edges of the said brassieresupports 20, which are thus connected with the non-elastic bacle section 6 of the girdle and held down in place upon the back of the wearer. Inasmuch as the baclesection ot the girdle is but little higher than the front-section thereof, my im proved bodieette leaves the back of the wearer exposed to the extent required by full evening dress.
By the construction just described, I am enabled to make the brassiere open at the hack to the depth of the upper edge of the baoleseetion of the girdle and still adequately support the front portion of the brassiere.
In this way I secure an open-back ln'assiere adapting the bodicette to be worn with evening dress and securing exceptional freedom and ease to the wearen as well the coolness proceeding from having the brassie-re ei'ltirely open at the back.
As shown the tronteeetion 18 of the hrassiere is furnished with a V-shaped insert 2- of lace, enhancing the appearance of the garment and also making it cool to wear. Shoulder straps 25 extend between the section 20 of the brassier and the elastic band 22 already mentioned, and assist in supporting the brassiere.
I claim:
1. An evening-dress hodicette, combining a girdle and a brassiere, the girdle comprising a non-elastic front-section, a non-elastic back seetion, and two complementary sideupper ends of the rear portions oil the side r-i sections, and a horizontally-arrallged cl hand located at the upper edge ot the hacksection and at its ends co'acting with the rear extremities of the said hrassii-re-supports for holding the same tlat upon the hack of the wearer of the hodieette.
2. An evening-dress hodicctte. combining a girdle and a hrassiE-re, the girdle comprising a non-elastic trout-section, a noirelastic back-section, and two complementary side sections each having a non-elastic hip-covering section and elastic sections located on either side of the san'ic; a hrassiere rising irom the-upper edge of the said non-elastic trout-section and from the adjacent mrtions ot' the said side-sections and having a bowed upper edge: brassiE re-supports com'iecttal with the respective ends of the said hrassiio'e, and a horiZontally-arranged elastic hand located at the upper end of the said back-se tion and extending between and ctmueeting the rear-end portions of the said hrassiere supports, which are thus held down upon the back of the wearer.
I11 testimony whereof, I have signed this specification.
ANNA HELD ROBERTS.
