1 Claim.
This invention relates to ladies garments, and has for its principal object the provision of a novel slip formed from bias and straight panels and having an increased measure of comfort for the wearer and also improved fitting qualities, particularly throughout the waist-encircling sections. The garment of the present invention has superior fitting qualities in all sizes, although it has been particularly designed for bringing out the best features of smaller figures which frequently have relatively wide shoulders compared with the waist and torso.
Thus, another object of the invention is to provide a garment which easily passes over the head of the wearer, and which, when in place on the body, drapes the figure in a flattering manner and is principally characterized by the absence of excess material or bulging.
A further object of the invention is to provide a garment which is simple to construct, all of the seams being straight or substantially straight. The garment consists essentially of front and rear panels which extend from top to bottom, two side skirt panels, and two side waist panels. The side skirt panels are so disposed as to have their grain line substantially on the straight of the material, thus to give the garment non-stretching characteristics where resilience is not needed. The remaining panels areon the bias, the bias portions cooperating with the straight panels to enable the garment to conform to the body at all times.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a partial front and side elevation of a garment embodying the present invention in position upon the wearer.
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing a partial rear and sde elevation.
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the garment when laid fiat.
Fig. 4 is a similar view of the rear of the garment.
Fig. 5 is a pattern showing the several blanks employed in constructing the garment, of the present invention.
Referring now to Fig. 5, which shows the pattern of the garment, there is a blank l forming a front panel, a blank ll forming a rear panel, two blanks I2 of similar shape forming side skirt panels, and two blanks l3 forming side waist panels.
Front panel I0 is formed with a slightly-curved. lower edge l4, and inwardly-inclined, vertical edges l5. At or about point [6, which coincides with the waist line of the garment, edges l be come concavely-curved, as shown at I1, and terminate at points [8. From the upper edge of the garment there are two diagonally-inclined edges l9 which meet at point 20, which coincide with the front median line of the garment. These two latter edges form a substantially V shaped neckline for the garment, although the contour of the neckline may be appropriately modified. Blank I0 is desirably formed generally on a bias relative to the grain line of the material to provide a bias front panel which aids in giving the garment an approved measure of circumferential elasticity.
Rear panel H is generally of the same shape as panel l0, although it is somewhat shorter. Thus, it includes a lower edge 24, substantiallystraight side edges 25 terminating at their upper ends in concavely-curved sections 26, and an upper edge which may be V-shaped and defined by edge sections 21-21. The V-shaped upper edge is preferred for garments of smaller sizes, although a substantially-straight edge is usually preferred for larger sizes. This rear panel is likewise preferably formed on the bias of the material relative to the vertical median line of the slip.
Side skirt panel l2, of which two are employed, is generally on the straight of the material and is provided with a curved lower edge 30, substantially-straight, inwardly-inclined, vertical edges 29 and 3|, and an upper, concavely-curved edge 32. Side waist panel l3, of which two are employed, is provided with a lower, concavelycurved edge 33, an upwardly and outwardly-inclined, substantially-straight edge 34, a downwardly and inwardly-inclined. upper edge section 35, an upwardly and outwardly-inclined, substantially-straight edge section 36. and a convexlycurved edge 31. These blanks are desirably formed on the bias of the material.
The combined length of edge 3| of blank l2 and of edge 31 of blank I3 is substantially the same as the full length of edge sections I5 and ll of blank I0. Likewise, edge 32 of blank l2 and edge 33 of blank l3 are of substantially the same length. In constructing the garment, these latter edges may first be joined together to form a stitch line 39 which coincides generally with the waist line of the garment. This forms the side waist and skirt panel for the garment, and a similar panel is employed on the other side of the garment. Next, edge sections'3l31 of the side panel are joined to edge sections l5 and ll of blank 10, forming stitch line 40 on each side of the garment. Edge sections 29-34 of the side panel have a combined length equal substantially 3 to the length of edge sections 25 and 26 of blank ll. Edge sections 29 and 34 are then joined to edge sections 25 and 26 to form a stitch line 42 on each side of the garment.
The garment is then complete, except for the attachment of shoulder strap elements 44 On each side of the garment. If desired, the upper edge of the waist portion may be finished with lace, as shown at 45.
It will be seen from the foregoin that the contour and grain line of each of the blanks forming the garment have been chosen to provide a well-fitting, unitary body garment having the Horizontal characteristics earlier pointed out. stitch lines 39, at the Waist line, each extend substantially one-quarter the distance around the garment on opposed sides thereof. In forming this stitch line on each of the side panels, it is of considerable advantage to form the meeting edges with concave curves in order to give the improved fitting ,qualities' ofthe present garment. Thus, although the garment has-a well-defined waist line;theiremainingportion' of thewaist line, having'no horizontal stitch; line; permits the garment to"; accommodate'itself to'the'body' of the wearer regardlessof the position of such wearer.
While'one form'orembodiment of the invention has DBEH'IShOWII and described herein for illustrative purposes, and: the: construction and arrangement incidental to a. specific applicationthereof have been disclosed and discussed in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is limited neither to the mere details'or relative arrangement" of parts, nor to its specific embodiment shown'herein, but that extensive deviations from the illustrated form or embodiment of the inventionmay be made Without departing from the principles thereof;
W-hat I'claim is:
A ladies" garment; formed. from a plurality of blanks of material including generally similarlyshaped blanks forming front and rear panels and extending from the upper to the lower edge of the garment, each of such blanks having a curved lower edge, inwardly-inclined vertical edges which terminate in outwardly-curved edge sections, and substantially V shaped upper edges forming the front and rear upper edges, respectively, of the garment, and side panels, each formed from a skirt blank having a curved lower edge, inwardly-inclined vertical edges, and a concavely-curved upper edge, and a Waist blank hav REFERENCES crrnn The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
