Patented Oct. 24, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE GARMENT Morris Kahn, Newburgh, N. Y. Application August 2, 1947, Serial No. 765,702

2 Claims.

with a pair of lateral extensions terminating out wardly under the armpit of the wearer to form an upper side seam, and terminating downwardly at the waist of the wearer, each of said extensions having also an inner edge spaced from a respective edge of the main portion of the front panel in the blank, each of which inner edges is stitched to a respective edge of the main portion of the front panel to form the breast portion of the slip, thereby simultaneously imparting strength and improved body-fitting contour to the slip.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a slip of the character described having an rear skirt panel cut on the bias with respect to the median line of said panel and cut on the straight with respect to the substantially vertical side edges of the panel to provide desired resiliency at the central seat portion of the slip and to provide a smooth, straight fit at the front portion of the slip where each vertical side edge of the rear skirt is stitched to a respective edge of the front panel of the slip.

The foregoing objects, as well as additional objects and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent in the course ofthe following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention, and-where- Fig. 1 is a front perspective view of a slip embodying the features of the invention upon the body of a wearer.

Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view of the slip upon the wearer.

Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the slip upon a form.

Fig. 4 is a side elevation similar to Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a rear elevation similar to Fig. 3.

Fig. 6 is a plan view of a blank forming the front bodice and skirt portions of the slip.

Fig. 7 is a plan view of a blank forming the rear and side skirt portions of the slip.

Fig. 8 is a plan view of a blank forming the upper rear portion of the slip. The blank forming the front panel of the slip is indicated at It)! in Fig. 6 and is defined by a lower edge H and a pair of substantially linear side edges [2 preferably converging slightly upwardly to the waist portion of the blank Ill, from which region said side edges diverge slightly to terminate at a pair of lateral extensions la integral with front panel or blank l0. Each of said lateral extensions is defined by a downwardly extending inner edge l3 diverging from the upper portion of side edge I2, edges 12 and I3 being stitched together to form the breast portion of the slip; a lower edge I4 constituting a part of the side waistline seam; a side edge I5 con-' stituting part of the side seam of the slip; and

an upper curved edge I6 constituting the front armhol edge of the slip. The central upper V--- shaped edge I! extends between the ends of edges l6 and constitutes the V-neck of the slip. Theblank I9 is preferably cut on the straight to'provide a smooth fit at the front of the slip.

The circularly-cut panel blank 2E} (see Fig. '7') forming the side and rear skirt portions is defined by a lower circular edge 2|, a pair of sub stantially linear side edges 22 and upper edges 23 converging at a central point 24 through which runs the median line A-A. An extremely important feature of the invention resides in forming blank 20 in such a manner that it is cut on the bias with respect to the median line A--A and out substantially on the straight with respect to each of the side edges 22 to secure a fullness in the lower rear skirt portion and to achieve two desirable effects:

1. Resiliency is provided at the central seat portion of the slip where stretching is mostly needed and which is in a bias area.

' 2. Side edges 22 are cut on the straight to keep the slip smooth and fiat at the front when said side edges are joined to the upwardly convergentedgelfl of each lateral extension 10a of front panel I0.

The final blank 30 (see Fig. 8) forming the upper rear portion of the slip is preferably, though not necessarily, cut on the bias to give freedom and facilitate breathing. Said blank 30 is formed with a central upper V-edge 3| constituting the low-cut back of the garment, downwardly divergent edges 32 completing the armhole of the slip, side edges 33 and lower edges 34. Each of the side edges 33 is joined to a respective side edge I 5 of each lateral extension I Ila of front panel I0, to constitute a side underarm seam of the slip, and each of the lower edges 34 is joined to a respective upper edge 23 of skirt panel 20 to complete the back of the waistline of the slip. The garment may be completed by providing conventional shoulder straps 40 extending between front panel l0 and upper rear panel 30.

While I have shown the upper parts of panels l0 and 30 as being provided with a V-neck form, it will be understood that the built-up shoulder portions Fla and 3m may be omitted and any other form of neckline may be imparted to the garment without in any way departing from the scope of the appended claims.

From the foregoing it is apparent that a slip has been provided having a front panel comprising 'a bodice portion and a skirt portion integral therewith to present a smooth, neat appearance at the front of the slip, to prevent ripping and to impart strength to the slip. A second panel forming the rear and side skirt portions of the slip has been further provided cut in such a manner as to be cut on "the bias with respect to the median line of said panel and on the straight with respect to each of the side edges thereof. This latter feature provides for stretching at the central seat portion of the slip Where it is most required, and simultaneously affords a smooth fit at the front of the slip where the side edges of the skirt panel are joined to the respective side edges of the front panel. Because the slip is made of few parts, three in this case, there are few seams and less chance of ripping.

Since certain modifications may 'be made in the garment of the invention without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the foregoing description and shown in the accompanying drawing be interpreted merely as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Havin thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

l. A slip comprising front panel extending for the entire length of the slip and having a pair of side edges, a pair of lateral extensions formed integrally with the upper portion of said front panel, each of said lateral extensions being defined by a side edge extending vertically downward from approximately the armpit of the wearer to the waistline of the slip, and a lower edge forming a portion of the waistline of the slip, each of said lateral extensions having an inner edge joined to the upper portion of a respective side edge of said front panel to form the breast portion of said slip, a circularly-cut panel forming the rear and side skirt .portions of said slip, said skirt panel being cut on the bias with respect to the longitudinal median line thereof, and an upper rear panel having a lower edge joined to the upper edge of said skirt panel, each side edge of said upper rear panel being coextensive with and joined to a respective side edge of each lateral extension of the front panel to form an underarm side seam which extends substantially vertically downward from the region of the armpit to the waistline of the slip, the lower edge of each lateral extension being joined to the forward portion of a respective upper edge of said skirt panel.

2. A slip comprising a front panel extending for the entire length of the slip and having a pair of side edges, a pair of lateral extensions formed integrally with the upper portion of said front panel, each of said lateral extensions being defined by a side edge extending vertically downward from approximately the armpit of the wearer to the waistline of the slip and a lower edge forming a portion of the waistline of the slip, each of said lateral extensions having an inner edge joined to the upper portion of a respective side edge of said front panel to form the breast cups of said slip, each side edge of the front panel extending upwardly from the bottom edge of the slip to the apex of a corresponding breast cup a skirt panel having a pair of substantially vertical edges and a pair of inwardly inclined, convergent upper edges which define the waistline of the slip, said skirt panel being cut on the bias with respect to the longitudinal median line thereof and on the straight with respect to each of said vertical edges, and an upper rear panel having a, lower edge joined to said pair of convergent waistline edges of said skirt panel, each vertical edge of said skirt panel being joined to the lower portion of a respective side edge of said front panel, each side edge of said upper rear panel being coextensive with and joined to a respective side edge of each lateral extension to form an underarm side seam which extends substantially vertically downward from the region of the armpit to the waistline of the slip, the lower edge of each lateral extension being joined to the forward .portion of a respective upper waistline edge of said skirt panel.
