` zolaims. folla-224) I l The present` invention relates to a womans nether undergarmentfof the step-'in or pantee type. f I A principal object of the present invention is to provide Va garment of this type, which nts snugly in` its Iwaist portion, which hangs com- .vfortably and loosely around the thighs and drops Aandilares downwardly with the result thatlit ,produces no disturbing lines in the outer drssl of the wearer and rather, by its 'flare and drapes, theundergarment of the :present invention gives -body to the outer dress and aids it in maintainingfgraceful lines.` l r.: y, I l 1 l Another object of the present invention is to madefeasily, simply and economically from a I minimum number of pieces with a minimum `number of operations.
A further object of the invention is to provide a garment of thistylpe which, although free of gathers, `still provides ample room and fullness to enable the wearer to assume all active positions without discomfort and still to obviate the bunching of the material of the'garment with the consequent disfigurement of the appearance of the outer garmentior dress.
Thus, except for the reinforcing strips at the Waist and side opening and the trimming band around the leg bottoms, the garment consists of four substantially equal panels of suitable woven p textile materiaL- having its bottom edge and its outer side edge cut on the bias. The result is` that the garment made of such four panels gives the advantages set forth above.
` Other objects and advantages of the invention will `he apparent to persons skilled in the art from the following specification and the accompanying drawing.
Fig. l is a front perspective View of the garment.V i p Fig. Z is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.-
Fig. 3 shows the two front panels; `and Fig. 4 shows the two back panels. y
Referring to Figure 3, the two front lpanels of the garment I0 and II are duplicates, and have slightly concave upper edges I2, substantially straight outer side edges I3, concave inner edges I4, and somewhat convex bottom edges I5. `These panels `are relatively narrow at the top and diverge outwardly and downwardly. The edges I3 are substantially shorter than the edges I4 and the edges I5 are directed upwardly and outwardly. They also have crotch portions 2| 'as shown.
The back panels IB and I'I` are also duplicates and are of substantially the same size as the provide' additional funness `in the seat;
the top edges I3 areof substantially the same Y front panelspexcept that they are cut so as to Thus length as the edges I2 of the" front panels and the outer side edges I9 are ofthe same length astheedges I3 of `the `front panels. The inner edges 20 differ somewhat from the edges I4in `that they are longer and have convex portions 22 to provide` fullness in the seat; The lower edges 23 are curved anddirected the same Way `as edges I5 of thewfront panels, but the crotch portions 24 are somewhat longer than the crotch portions 2`I. As `in the front panels, the edges I9 are substantially shorter than the edgeslZil.V l f `An essential'part of the present invention lies `in `the manner these panels are cut with relal tion to the direction of weave as indicated. It
will beobserved thatthe direction of weaveis Vno1; quite in linewith any of the edges of the` spectvely are cut substantially on the bias line of the weave, that the top edges I2 and I8 pf the front and back panels respectively are outY only slightly out of the line of weave, and that the inner edges I4 and 20 are partly in line with the weave and partly slightly out of line of weave. As will `be seen from a later more detailed desoription of the construction of the garment, the
, bias cut of the edges I3, I5, I9 land 23 serve to enhance the comfort to the wearer of the garment and also serve to permit the garment to hang loosely from the hips and to are and drape gracefully.
In assembling the garment the edges I4 of the front panels are joined by a fagoted seam 25, l
' portion open as shown, to provide the side opening 28. The reinforcing tape 30 is then sewed around the top edge of the garment, leaving the opening 29 free and open. The fly 31|, which consists of a longitudinally folded strip of fabric,
is then sewed to the free Iportions of the edges I3 and I9 in the opening 29.` The porton of 'the fly attached to the front panel II is folded against the inner face of the panel and the button holes 32 and 33 are formed through the fly and the superposed edge of the front panel and buttons 34 are sewed to the other portion oi' the ily.
At this point the garment is still open at the crotch. Before the crotch is closed the trimming band 35 is sewed to the two legs and the crotch is tlren closed by a single cross seam completing the leg encircling bands at the bottom of each leg and also 'uniting the crotch portions of panels l I and II` together and the crotch portions ofthe panels Il) and I6 together. The trim-- ming band 35 at the bottom extends downwardly from the crotch and adds to the comfort of the wearer. A
The present garment is devoid of all gathers and free of any tendency to ride up on the wearer or to .bunch or in any manner to impart to the outer garment an unsightly appearance.
At the top and in the adjacent region the garment iits snugly, and the main body of the garment hangs loosely from the wearers hips and flares and drapes gracefully, such drapes 'following largely the warp of the Weave; at the loosely from the wearers'hips and to flare and drape about the thighs of thelwearer, said garment comprising two front panelsunited along their innerk edges and two back panelsunited along their inner edges, each panel having a. downwardly diverging outer lateral edge substantially shorter than its inner lateral edge and an upwardly and outwardly directed bottom edge, the outer edges of the front panels `being united with the outer edges of the4 back, panels, these edges being, cut:` onlbias lines of. the Weave and providing extensibility in the garment along the lines of stress in the garment when Worn.
2. A bifurcated womans nether undergarment made of woven textile material, said garment havingan upper body portion designed to t snugly around the body, inthe regions of the waist of thewearer, and'having leg portions integral with `same time substantially allstresses to which the y garment is subjected are on the bias of the weave,
' Where the material of the garment is substantially elastic thus enhancing the comfort of the garment and increasing the life of the garment. The fagoted seams in this garment, lend to the elasticity of the garment inthe direction of stress.
of thev front panels being united with theouter edges of the .hack panels these edges being out on biasl lines of the'` weave and'fproviding extensibility in the garment along the lines of stress in the garment when Worn, the inner edge of each panel being curved to provide nt and fullness.'
said panels being joined by elastic seams.
