1 Claim.
'I'his invention relates to improvements in garments, and more especially an undergarment or slip adapted for wear by women.
Among the features of my invention is the provision of a combination brassire and slip.
Another feature of my invention is the making of such a garment that is very smooth on the inside, thus increasing the comfort of the wearer. This is accomplished by providing on the inside vertically continuous panels of cloth extending from the extreme lower edge of the skirt portion to the extreme upper edge of the brassire portion, thus eliminating all rough horizontal seams on the inside. Heretofore, in garments of this character, there was always present on the inside a more or less rough upstanding seam or crease in a substantially horizontal direction where the brassire portion joined the skirt portion of the garment. This is entirely eliminated in my improved garment.
By the use of such continuous panels on the inside of the garment the cost of the garment has also been greatly reduced without in any way impairing its wearing qualities. By the use of extra plies on the outside of the garment to form the brassire portion, it is suitably strengthened and reinforced.
If desired, my improved garment may be worn inside-out so that the smooth surface of the garment will be on the outside. When thus worn, the junction between the brassire portion and the skirt portion will hardly be visible through When thus worn, the continuous panels extending from the extreme bot- `tom edge of the skirt portion to the extreme upper edge of the brassire portion will be on the outside in contact with the outer garment. The inturned edge of the brassire reinforcement will thus be on the inside of the garment and will show through the outer garment very slightly, or not at all.
Other features and advantages of my invention will appear more fully as I proceed with my specification.
In that form of device embodying the features of my invention shown in the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a view in front elevation; Fig. 2 is a view taken as indicated by the line 2 of Fig. l; Fig. 3 is a view taken as indicated by the line .3 of Fig. l; Fig. 4 ris a View similar to Fig. l showing the upper portion with a part of one of the brassire panels removed to show the construction; and Fig. 5 is a view of the upper portion of the garment in side elevation.
As shown in the drawings, the garment has an upper brassire portion indicated in general by I0 and a lower dress or skirt portion indicated in general by II, and is provided with the usual shoulder straps I2.
I3 and I4 indicate vertical front and rear panels, respectively, and I5, I5 represent vertical side panels,- each extending from the extreme lower edge of the skirt portion to the extreme upper edge of the brassire portion.' These panels are joined together in any suitable manner as, for example, by the vertical seams I6, I6. There is thus formed a tubular member adapted to encircle the body of the wearer extending the full length of the garment, that is from the top edge of the brassire portion to the bottom edge of the skirt portion, said tubular member having only substantially vertical seams and being entirely free from horizontal seams.
I'I, I1 indicate outer front brassire panels and I8, IB outer back brassire panels on the outside of the garment (as normally worn) adapted to encircle the bust of the wearer in the manner of a brassire. The front and rear panels extend Y around to the sides where they are joined by the vertical seams I9, I9 under the arms; but at this point, they are preferably not joined to the vertical side panels I5, I5. The panels I1 and I8 are brought substantially to points in the front and back as indicated by I'Ia. and I8a, respectively; and their lower edges are rounded downwardly from said points as indicated by I'Ib and |819, respectively. The upper ledges of the panels I'I and I8 are preferably pointed upwardly to some extent as indicated by I'lc and I8cl where the shoulder straps are joined. The lower edges of the panels II and I8 are attached to the vertical panels I3, ILI and I5 by the seams 20, and their upper edges are joined to the upper edges of the vertical panels by the seams 2|, as shown, around the circumference of the garment.
It will be seen that when the garment is worn with the brassire panels I'I and I8 on the outside, the vertical panels I3, I4 and I5 will be next to the wearer and that these panels extend continuously from the extreme upper edge of the garment to the extreme lower edge without any cross or horizontal folded edges, creases, or
At the seams 20 where the brassire seams. panels I1 and I8 are joined to the vertical panels, the lower edges of the brassire panels I 1 and I8 are turned inwardly as indicated by IIa and It is to be understood that the seams and folded edges as shown in Fig. 3 are greatly enlarged merely for the purpose of illustrating the manner of making the seams. The View is Virtually a diagrammatic one.
While I have shown and described certain embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that it is capable of many modifications. Changes, therefore, in the construction and arrangement rnay be made without departing from 10 the spirit and scope of the invention as disclosed in the appended claim, in which it is my intention to claim all novelty inherent in my inven tion as broadly as permissible, in view of the prior art.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
A garment of the character described, including: a substantially tubular member adapted to encircle the body of a wearer, said member formed of a plurality of vertical panels of sufficient length to form a brassire portion and a skirt portion, said vertical panels extending continuously from the upper edge of said brassire portion to the lower edge of said skirt portion; and a plurality of brassire panels attached by their upper and lower edges to one side of the brassire portion of said Vertical panels, said brassire panels adapted to encircle the bust of the wearer, said brassire panels extending from substantially the center of the chest region downwardly around the sides of the bust toward the waistline under the armpits and thence around toward the center of the back, the ends of said panels terminating in slanting edges at the front and back'to form a V neck at the front and back of the garment.
