A separate panel is removably attached to the first longitudinal edges of the body. The separate panel can be replaced by another separate panel which has a different design, coloring, or material construction. The body may be formed of first and second separate body members which also are secured along second longitudinal edges by adjustable lacing.
Description
- This application claims the priority benefit of the Jun. 8, 2012 filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/657312, filed in the name of Cheryl Bell and entitled “CORSET WITH REPLACEABLE FRONT PANEL”; the entire contents of which are incorporate herein in its entirety.
- The present disclosure relates, in general, to women's garments and, in particular, women's undergarment which are designed to encircle at least a portion of a woman's torso.
- With particular regards to undergarments such as bustiers, girdles and corsets, such garments generally include a one piece body having an openable fastener located to be positioned in an easily accessible position by the wearer. The fastener can include tie up lacing, snaps, hooks, or a zipper.
- It is also known to construct such garments with a drawstring type lacing typically located along the wearer's back and a front located zipper, snaps or hooks. This allows the wearer to tighten or loosen the drawstring to obtain a desired amount of tightness around the wearer's torso while still enabling the zipper, snaps or hooks to be used to provide easy ingress and egress to and from the garment.
- However, such garments, and, in particular, corsets, bustiers and girdles, are generally provided in one color or multiple colors and either with or without an ornamental design. While a whole set of such garments may be provided in different colors, color combinations and designs, if a user wishes to change the color or design of a particular undergarment, she has to purchase another garment.
- It would be desirable to address this problem by providing a woman's garment which has replaceable panels of different colors, color combinations, material construction and/or design.
- A garment includes a body having a pair of spaced first longitudinal edges between top edges and bottom edges, the first edges adapted to be located in front of a wearer's torso when the body is worn by a wearer, and a separate panel replaceably joined between the first and second front edges of the body.
- The separate panel is separably joined to the body by separable fasteners. The fasteners can be attached to the first edges of the body and the opposed side edges of the separate panel.
- The first edges of the body and the opposed side edges of the separate panel can have complimentary shapes. The complimentary shaped first edges of the body and the side edges of the separate panel can have a continuous linear shape or sinuous shape.
- The separate panel can have a polygonal shape with square corners, or trapezoidal shape with non-perpendicular corners between a top edge, bottom edge, and side edges to form the separate panel with one of the top edges being longer than an opposed bottom edge, or a top edge which is smaller in length than the opposed bottom edge.
- The separate panel is positioned at the front of the body when joined to the first edges of the body.
- The separable fasteners can include a pair of fasteners, one of the pair of fasteners mounted on each of the first edges of the body and each of opposed side edges of the separate panel.
- The separate panel has at least one material layer formed of a transparent material or a semi-transparent material.
- The separate panel can have at least two material layers, including a back layer of one material and a front layer formed of a transparent, semi-transparent, or lace and mesh material.
- The undergarment can include a body formed of first and second body members, each having spaced first and second longitudinal edges, a pair of fasteners, one of the pair of fasteners fixed to first longitudinal edges of the first and second body members and adjustable fasteners secured between the second longitudinal edges of each of the first and second body members.
- The body of the undergarment can include an upper brassier portion.
- A separate panel is replaceably joined between the first longitudinal edges of the first and second body members.
- The separate panel is separably joined to the first longitudinal edges of the first and second body members by separable fasteners. The fasteners can be a zipper attached to the first and second front longitudinal edges of the first and second body members and to opposed side edges of the separate panel.
- The first longitudinal edges of the first and second body members and the opposed side edges of the separate panel can have complimentary shapes. The complimentary shape of the first and second edges of the first and second body members and the opposed side edges of the separate panel can have a continuous linear shape or a sinuous shape.
- The various features, advantages and other uses of the present garment with replaceable panel will become more apparent by referring to the following detailed description and drawing in which:
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing one aspect of a garment with replaceable front panels; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the releasable connection of one of the front panels ofFIG. 1 in the garment ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing another aspect of a replaceable front panel mountable in a garment; -
FIG. 4 is a front elevational view showing another aspect of one of the replaceable front panels ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 5 is a front elevational view of another aspect of a replaceable front panel shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of another aspect of a replaceable front panel ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of another aspect of a garment with a replaceable front panel; and -
FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view of another aspect of a garment with a replaceable front panel. - A garment, depicted by way of example as being in the form of a
corset 10, is shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . It will be understood that the features described hereafter can also be applied to different types of garments and, particularly undergarments, such as bustiers, girdles, etc. Thecorset 10 is designed to encircle or be worn around the torso and abdomen of a wearer. Thecorset 10 can be formed from a single piece of continuous material or a plurality of individual sections, which are securely joined, such as by stitching, adhesive, etc. - The
corset 10 is constructed of a suitable undergarment material, such as cotton, latex, synthetic fabrics, etc., in one or more layers. - The
corset 10 includes first andsecond body members first body member 12 has atop edge 16, abottom edge 18, and avisible panel surface 20 extending between a first longitudinally extendingedge 22 and a second longitudinally extendingedge 24. - The
second body member 14 is similarly constructed with atop edge 26, abottom edge 28, and avisible panel surface 30 extending between a first longitudinally extendingedge 32 and a second longitudinally extendingedge 34. - Adjustable fasteners, such as lacing 40, is provided in one aspect for securing the
corset 10 about the torso of a user. Thelacing 40 includes a plurality of longitudinally spacedeyelets 42 adjacent to the secondlongitudinal edges second body members lacing 40 includes alace 44, which is threaded through theeyelets 42 in a crisscross pattern and tied at the ends to secure thecorset 10 about the torso of a user. - A pair of
straps 46 is shown by way of an option, inFIG. 1 . Thestraps 46 which are sewn or otherwise attached to thebody panels top edges buckles 50, for example, attached to a front portion of thetop edges second body members - Boning or
stiffeners 52 may be attached to the first and secondbody member surfaces corset 10 during use. - According to one aspect of the
corset 10, a replaceable,separate panel 60 is removably attached to the firstlongitudinal edges second body members separate panel 60 can be formed of an undergarment material and may be constructed with one or more layers. Theseparate panel 60 may also be provided with a variety of ornamentations, including different designs, appliqués, colors, and combinations thereof, which can be the same or different from the color, material, and ornamentation used to form the remainder of thecorset 10. For example, thebody member panel 60 can be formed of a different color than the color of the first andsecond body members corset 10. Theseparate panel 60 can also be formed of a different material in addition to or in lieu of a different color than the remainder of thecorset 10. Further, aseparate member panel 100,FIG. 6 , may be formed of multiple layers, including aback layer 102 of one color which may be different from the color of the material of the remainder of thecorset 10, and anouter layer 104 of a transparent or semi-transparent material, such as a clear fabric of an ornamental lace or mesh. Aseparate panel 106, inFIG. 4 , may simply be formed of asingle layer 108 of a lace or mesh material with an ornamental design to provide semi-transparency to theseparate panel 106. Alternately, aseparate member panel 110,FIG. 5 , may be formed entirely of asemi-transparent material 112. This enables the user to interchange differentseparate panels corset 10 for different ornamental appearances. - The
separate panel 60 is formed, for example, with atop edge 62, abottom edge 64, and first andsecond side edges bottom edges visible panel surface 70. The first and second side edges 66 and 68 of theseparate panel 60 are complimentarily shaped to the shape of the firstlongitudinal edges second body members corset 10. - The first and second side edges 66 and 68 may have a straight longitudinal extent and may be disposed at any angle relative to the ends of the top and
bottom edges separate panel 60. For example, the first and second side edges 66 and 68 of theseparate panel 60 may have a continuous linear extent extending perpendicularly between the ends of the top andbottom edges bottom edges FIGS. 1 and 2 , the upper ends of the first and second side edges 66 and 68 of theseparate panel 60 may be formed at acute angles with respect to thetop edge 62. The lower ends of the first and second side edges 66 and 68 are formed at obtuse angles with respect to thebottom edge 64 to form theseparate panel 60 in a generally trapezoidal shape where thetop edge 62 is longer than thebottom edge 64. The trapezoidal shape may be also be inverted with thetop edge 62 being smaller in length than a longer lengthbottom edge 64. - In another example shown in
FIG. 7 , the side edges 66 and 68 of theseparate panel 60 as well as the complimentary shaped firstlongitudinal edges second body members FIGS. 1 and 2 , the curved shallow, sinuous shape of the first andsecond edges separate panel 60 makes thetop edge 62 longer in length than thebottom edge 64. It will be understood that the shape may also be inverted where thetop edge 62 is smaller in length than thebottom edge 64, but with the side edges 66 and 68 still having the illustrated smoothly curved, shallow sinuous or flattened S-shape. - The
separate panel 60 is removably attached to the firstlongitudinal edges second panels fasteners side edge 66 of theseparate panel 60 and the frontlongitudinal edge 22 of thefirst body member 12 as well as theopposite side edge 68 of thebody member 60 to the frontlongitudinal edge 32 of thesecond body member 14. - By way of example, the
fasteners zipper teeth 84 of eachzipper longitudinal edges second body members slidable pull member 86 may be mounted at either of the upper or lower ends of thezipper teeth 84 on theedges second body members bottom edges separate panel 60. - It will be understood that other types of fasteners, such as Velcro, snaps, interlocking hooks and loops, etc. may also be employed to replaceably attach the
separate panel 60 to thecorset 10. - In use, the user chooses one separate panel, such as
separate panel 60. The selectedseparate panel 60 is then attached by means of the fasteners, such as thezippers longitudinal edges second body members corset 10. During this attachment, the lacing 40 is already in place between theeyelets 42 along the secondlongitudinal edges second body members corset 10, including theseparate panel 60, at the desired circumference or tightness about the user's torso. - After the
separate panel 60 has been attached to thecorset 10, thecorset 10 may be placed about the torso of a user to enable the lacing 40 to be tightened to secure thecorset 10 about the torso of the user in the desired tightness and conforming fit. - After the lacing 40 has been properly adjusted to the user's preference, the user may put on and take off the
corset 10 via theseparate panel 60 merely by unzipping one of thezippers - When the user desires to replace the
separate panel 60 currently attached to thecorset 10 with a differentseparate panel 61,FIG. 1 , the user unzips bothzippers separate panel 60 from the first andsecond body members corset 10. With the newseparate panel 61 aligned between the firstlongitudinal edges corset 10, the user than engages onezipper 80 with theseparate panel 60. The user then engages and pulls one zipper pull 86 of thezipper 82, to attach theside edge 66 of thebody member panel 60 to the firstlongitudinal edge 22 of thebody member 12 of thecorset 10. The user then wraps thecorset 10, includingbody member 60, about her torso and then closes theother zipper 82 to secure thecorset 10 with theseparate panel 60 about the user's torso. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , a modified corset 140, similar to thecorset 10 shown inFIG. 1 may be provided with an upper located brassier portion 142. The brassier portion 142 forms a continuous extension of the first andsecond body members corset 10. Theseparate panels second body members -
FIG. 8 depicts another modification to thecorset 10 in which a corset 150 is formed substantially the same as thecorset 10 except that the first andsecond body members longitudinal edges 122 and 124. The corset 150 does not include the adjustable back lacing 40 used in thecorset 10. Otherwise, the corset 150 functions in the same manner as thecorset 10 to receive replaceable front panels, with only onefront panel 60 shown inFIG. 8 .
