By reason of this construction the waistit will not be necessary to constrict the upper 'line is constricted and yet the front part 13 is part of the garment tightly against the body.

By use of these shoulder straps the upper part of the garment will merely fit against the body in a normal manner and by reason of the bias cut of the material will not only fit in a uniform manner but will conform itself more or less to the shape of the wearer.
