1 Claim.

This invention relates to undergarments, and particularly to animproved slip which is an 'improvement over my prior Patent No. 1,995,212

and which gives a desired slenderizing effect with An additional object is to provide a slip formed .principallyof four parts with one part acting as the rear and sides and presenting a snug fitting structure at and above the waistline and a fullness at and adjacent the bottom of the garment.

In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a front perspective view of the garment disclosing an embodiment of the invention,

the same being shown on a figure;

Fig. 2 is a rear view of the garment shown in Fig. 1, the same being illustrated on the figure;

Fig. 3 is a front view on an enlarged scale of the garment shown in Fig. 1;

Fig. 4 is a front elevation of the front panel of the garment shown in Fig. 1, the same being spread out;

Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4, but showing the rear panel;

Fig. 6 is an elevation of the two top members embodying certain features of the invention;

v Fig. '1 is a side view of the garment shown in Fig. 1, the same being on a slightly reduced scale and lying flat;

Fig. 8 is a sectional view through Fig. 6 approximately on the line 8-8.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numeral, I indicates a front panel and 2 a rear panel. The rear panel 2 is made of a desired width to extend across the rear of the garment, around the sides, and a short distance across the front as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3. The front panel I is slightly longer than the rear panel and not as wide so that when the panels are connected together the respective seams 3 and 4 will be on each side of the front as illustrated particularly in Fig. 3. x 5, the greatest width of the front panel is approximately one-half the greatest width of the real panel. The upper end of the front panel substantially straight side edges, while the upper end of the rear panel 3 is formed with arcshaped edges 6 and I merging at 8. The top members 9 and III are formed with'arc-shaped lower edges II and I2, which lower edges fit the As shown in Figs. 4 and I is provided with an A-shaped portion 5 with edges 6 and I when the parts are seamed together. The upper edges I3 and I4 of members 9 and II) are formed so that when the gores I5 and I6 are stitched in place and the members stitched to the front andbaclr members, said upper edges 5 will form arm openings I! and I8 as shown in Fig. 3. f

It will'be noted that the end edges I9 and'20 are stitched tothe respective edges 2| and 22 of the end 5 of panel I, while the respective edges 23 and 24 are unconnected so that the respective shoulder straps may be connected to the respective points 25 and 26 and also to the respective points 21 and 28. By reason of the construction of these membersas specified, and the fact that the front panel is slightly longer than the rear, the front of the garment will ex-- tend above the rear of the garment somewhat as illustrated particularly in Fig. 3 so that a desired low rfeckin the front and back may be secured, the back being lower than the front. In addition, it will be noted that the members 9 and I0 extend from the center of the back to the center of the front and form not only back 7 and side members but also breast pockets which are shaped somewhat by the gores I5 and I6. Also in order to secure a desired hugging or snug fitting the various pieces or panels are arranged so that the warp threads will be as indicated by the shapded lines in Figs. 4 to 6 inclusive. It 30 will be noted that the warp threads of the rear panel meet the warp threads of the front panel almost at right angles. The members 9 and IIIv are so arranged at an angle to coact with the action of the front and rear panels.

In constructing the garment to secure the desired lit, the parts have been formed as shown specifically in Figs. 4 to 6. This results in a de-- sired fitting garment made under the quantity production plan and at the same time secures a desired fit with the use of a minimum amount of cloth. In Patent No'. 1,995,212, above referred to, a desired garmentis presented which will fit properly, but in the formation of this garment 45 an appreciable amount of cloth was lost by the particular way in which the parts-of the garment were cut. In the construction shown in Figs: 1 to 6 the same. desirable fit is secured and a very desirable appearance presented while re- 50 quiring a less number of yardage per dozen than in the patent referred to. -In cutting various garments there is always a certain amount of waste or unused parts of the fabric. The structure produced by cutting the parts as shown in Figs. 4 to 6 inclusive requires a minimum amount of fabric per dozen and at the same time provides a nicely fitting garment as well as a nice appearing garment which presents a double thickness for thebreast pockets and for the upper part of the sides and. back of the garment. This provides extra strength for taking care of any extra strain at these parts. It will also be noted that :the garment is made without seams on the side. or back so that a dress arranged thereover will present a smooth and desired appearance.

I claim:

A slip of the character described including a front panel, a rear panel and a pair of identically shaped top panels, said front panel having an A-shaped extension at the top with the base of the extension as wide as the upper end of the panel, said front panel being of greater length than said rear panel and approximately half the width thereof whereby the'rear panel extends across the sides to the front, said rear panel at the upper end having arc-shaped edge portions meeting at the center of the panel and forming an A-shaped extension at the center of the top of the panel, said arc-shaped edge portions extending to the side edges of the panel and present substantially horizontally extending portions adjacent the side edge of the panel, seams for securing said front and rear panels together along their longitudinal edges, said top panels being generally arc-shaped information with arc-shaped side edges and V-shaped ends, said top panels being connected along their areshaped side edges to the arc-shaped edge portions at the upper end of said rear panel and one edge portion of each V-shaped end to a side edge of said A-shaped extension on the upper end of said front panel and forming at the front breast pockets and at the sides and rear covering members.
