Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in foundation garments, such as corsets and the like, and has for,an object to provide a garment of this character which will permit the natural movements of the body as in sitting, walking, stooping, bending over, etc. without disturbing or changing the position of the garment.
  • corsets as heretofore constructed
  • Fig. l is a plan of the garment as it appears when laid out flat.
  • Fig. 2 is a sideelevation showing the garcentrally of front and back in sitting posture.
  • Figs. 8, 9, 10 and 11' are vertical sectional views of modified forms of the invention.
  • the garment according to the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 1 to 7 is a corset of the so-called girdle type, the upper front edge being disposed below the bust of the wearer, but obviously the invention may be incorporated in other types of garments, as for instance a combination garment in which a bust engaging brassiere section is provided.
  • the garment comprises a front section consisting of an upper part 10 and a lower part 11, a back section consisting of an upper part12 and a lower part 13, an elastic side section 14 secured at its vertical edges to the vertical edges at one side of. the front and back sections, and an elastic section 15secured at one vertical edge to the vertical edge at the other side of the back section.
  • a series of hooks 16 provided along the free vertical edge of thefront section are adapted to be hooked with a series of eyes 17 provided on the free vertical edge of the elastic section 15 to secure the garment about the wearer.
  • the elastic sections are formed of webbing,
  • each elastic section separate elastic pieces 18 and 19 are respectively provided in underlapped relation so that the garment more readily yields and conforms to the body beneath the arms.
  • the front and back sections are preferably formed of non-elastic material, except for elastic inserts that may be provided and will hereinafter more fully pointed out, but obviously may be made of laterally yieldable elastic material such as the sections 14 and '15, or of any other suitable materiaL'
  • the upper part of the front section is 15 together along their vertical edges, while the transverse edges are unattached so that one part may have a telescoping slipping action with respect to the other.
  • the unattached transverse edges preferably extend to the elastic side sections so that the garment more ieadily conforms to different positions of the ody.
  • the upper part is preferably formed from a center and side panels seamed together, as at and 21, and is provided with a series of spaced vertical stays 22, 23, 24 and 25, of whale bone, steel, or the like, the lower ends of which are set back from the lower edge so that this edge may lie fiat.
  • the lowervpart 11 is also formed from a center and two side panels seamed together, as at 26 and 27, and provided along these seams with stays 28 and 29, the upper endsv of which terminate below the upper edge so that this edge may lie flat, and these seams and stays of the lower part are arranged in offset relation to those of the upper part, so that in the overlapping portions they will not be superimposed.
  • -A triangular elastic gusset inset 30 is provided centrally at the lower edge of the power part 11.
  • the upper part 12 of the back section is adapted to engage the upper part of the back above the waist of the wearer, its lower'edge being curved upwardly at the center, while the lower portion 13 is adapted to engage the back and hips below the waist, and has its upper edge disposed beneath the upper part at a point substantially above the lower edge thereof, the two portions being secured together along their vertical edges adjacent the elastic sections 14 and 15, while the transvided with a series of spaced vertical stays 33, 34, 35 and 36, the lower ends of which are set back from the lower edge so that this edge may lie flat.
  • the side panels preferably include separate upper end portions secured to thelower portions by transverse seams 37 and 38, and the center panel preferably includes an upper portion of laterally yieldable elastic material 39 secured to the lower portion by a transverse seam 40.
  • This construction is such that the back part 12 more readily conforms to and yields to the ipper back portions of the wearer.
  • a triangular elastic gusset insert 41 is preferably provided centrally at the lower edge of the part 12.
  • the lower part 13 is formed from a center and two side panels, seamed together, as at 42 and 43, and provided with a series of spaced vertical stays 44, 45, 46 and 47, the upper ends of which terminate below the upper edge so that this edge may lie flat, and these seams andstays are arranged in oflset relation'to those of the upper part so that in the overlapped portions they will not be superimposed.
  • a triangular elastic gusset insert 48 is preferably provided centrally at the lower edge of the lower part 13.
  • Hose supporters 49 are secured at suitable points to the lower'edge of'the garment.
  • the disposition of the edges of the upper and lower parts is such that upon elongation or shortening of the body one part will not be pulled or pushed byvthe part of the body engaged by the other part.
  • the parts of the garment Upon assuming a sitting posture, as shown in Fig. 5, the parts of the garment remain in their respective position on the upper and lower parts of the body, the lengthening and shortening causing the overlapping portions to telescopically slide with res ect to each other. Irrespective of the position of the body the parts of the garment remain in their proper relation, so that upon resuming any position after having been in any other position, as when again resuming a'standing osition after sitting, the parts are automatically maintained in their proper place upon the body;
  • the construction furthermore permits movement of the body without pulling or pushing strains, and in whatever osition is assumed there will be no wrinng, protrusion, or unsightly distortion of the garment.
  • Fi 8 I have shown a modification in which t e upper edge of the lower part is secured to the upper part by elastic straps 50,and which will yield to permit the telescoping action.
  • Fig. 10 I have shown a modification in which the upper and lower sections arenot overlapped as in the other forms, but are separated and connected together by a section of elastic webbing 52, so arranged as to yield vertically.
