VThe garment :is attractive in appearance, permits free movement on the part of the wearer withoutstrain on the garment, and properly supports and confines the yfigure.

lThe corset is a side opening garment adapt-l ed to encircle the body offthewearer from, or slightly above, the waistline to below the hips. yThe corset comprises a front section` `which may be formedof any desired number of panels. In thepresent embodiment it com- -prises three panels 12, 13, and 14, stitchedtogether, the center panel 13 being made of a plurality of pieces. To one longitudinal side margin 'of the front panel 12 is secured an "elastic panel`15 and the opposite longitudinal 1 side margin of the -front panel 14. is provided with fastening meansV for engaging cooperating fastening means 16 on. a similar elastic panel 1*( at thev side ofthe garment op'- posite the panel 15. In the present embodiment the back of thecorset between the elastic sections 15 and 17 comprises vthree nonelastic panelsA indicated at" 18, 19', andl 20,

ENT am@ CHARLES H. sCIrorBACrr,` or AURORA, ILLINOIS, AssIGNoR 'roi INTERNATIONAL tudinal margins,the panels 18 and 20ibeing also stitched to the elastic ksections 15 and 17,'
respectively. n In Fig. 2, the nupper margin ofv the front` of- 4the ,corset Vis defined the line 21 and` the uppermarginof the back andof the elasticV sides is definedbythe dotted line The `brassire ll'comprises a front member 23, theA longitudinal side margins of `which' are approximately under the farms of the wearer. `One ofthe side margins lisprovidedI vwith fastening means andthe other has stitched to it a back member; 24.l TA backl f 'member 25 is identical with the member 24 except that itis provided .with :fastening ,onthe frontsection 23. f
Thencorset and brassire 'aresecured' to-` gether, partly` `by stitching and partly by yielding means'. The front 23 is stitched to the topvv O `the corsetalong the line 21. lEach V means 26rfor cooperatingwith the fasteners v of the back members 24 and v25v has secured l toits downwardly extending lower margin v27 toward ltheside of thecorset, atriangular piece of elastic `'fa'. bric 28, 29,respectiv`ely,
which is stitched, along itsside margin to the corset 4body by lines ofV stitches 30, 31,
respectively. These triangular elastic pieces i i form a part of eachof the back sectionso the brassire and overlie theelastic sidepanels ofthe corset. AThusthe back sections of the brassire are wideri'romjtop to bottom than the front 23 of the brassire, and the lower Lportions of said back vsections extend down wardly vover the corset.,- The .lower margins of the parts 24,- 28- ando the parts 25, 29
extend upwardly from the sides of the garment toward the center back.
The top `margins 32 of the baclr members 24,25, incline downwardly toward each other as they approach the center of the back, and
terminatein elastic stripsl 34 and 35re'spectively. `These strips 34 and 35 are preferably r made of parallelfedged elastic. i .The width of the strips 34 and 35];and vthe width of 'thel brassirelback sections 24 and 25 Vmay be varied, depending onwhether a high, low or mediumback'is desired. The combined partsv i 24, 34, 35, and 25:'extend across the back of the wearer;v VShoulder straps '33 are attached:1,00.,V l
to the margins .32 of the baclr sections and to the top margin of the front 23 of the brassire.
overlies th'ej'oined ends'of the strips 34 and' 35 and is stitched to saine Vby stitches f 37. These stitches extend only Vthrough the fabric 36 and the joined elasticlstrips 34 and 35 and not through the back panel 19 of the corset. That portionvof the fabric/piecek 36 which extends below theelastic strips 34 and 35 is firmly secured to theba'ck panel 19 oflfthe corset byv linesof stitches .38, and preferably also by a line of stitches 39.; rIhe stitches 38 'extend through the 4medallion 36 andy-corset panel'19, and the stitches 39 extend through e the fabric medallion 36, the lower edges of thev elastic strips 34 and 35, nearv their ends,
and also through the corset panel 19. ByV
this construction the back of the brassire is Y independent of the corset back throughout the majorportion of its length, but is anchored tothe corsetby the medallion v36. stitchedorotherwise' fastened to the corsetv back approximately at the waistline.
The back membersof the brassire are preferablynot attached to the corset except by means of that part ofthe medallion 36 below the strips 34 and '35, and by the stitching and 31 at the side of the garmentwhere the brassire overlaps the side of the corset. The method of attaching the elastic strips .34 and Y to the center back of the'corset, and the form and arrangement of Vthe elastic strips are such that av gentle downward pull is exerted on the brassire sections when in position onthe body of a wearer,resulting in a smooth fit of the brassire top across the busts of the wearer, and yet permitting-' selfadjustment of the brasssire relatively to the l back of the corset and freedom of movement of the wearer without straining the shoulder `straps or other parts of the garment.V
In Fig. 4a modinedform of construction y is illustrated inwhich the elastic inserts 28 and 29 have been omitted and the lfabric 24 and 25 forming the back sections of the brassire of Figs. 1 to 3,' inclusive, is extended downwardly at the sides as indicated at40 and 41 in Fig. 4. Vhile I prefer to use pensed with as shown in Fig. 4.
Changes may be made in details Of construction 'without departingfrom the scope of my invention and I do not V1intend` to be limited tothe exact Vform shown and described, except 'back of the corset, the meeting edges: of the i elastic strips being-permanently secured .to gether providing a generally V-shaped elas-V tic' member, and means -for permanently anchoringsaid elastic member to the'COrSet back at the' center approximately 1 at the V'waistline,' said anchoring means comprising `a fabric medallion having `its upper portion stitched to and overlying the meeting edges .sof y of the elastic member, and its lowerportion stitched to and Aoverlying the'center back of theeorset. y l n '1. 2.
