  • Foundation garments which are made up from a front panel, two side panels'and a back panel in which the front panel comprises twopreferably inextensible webs stitched at their opposite edges to adjacent edges of the side panels and lying at an angle one I tothe other so as to provide an area of double thickness over the stomach of the wearer.
  • the invention provides a foundation garment having a back panel whose side edges extend to the sides of the wearer and a front panel including a pair of crossed over webs of material extensible in at least one direction the said webs being attached at one end to the side edgesof the back panel to extend from the tops thereof to approximately the position of the wearers" hipjoint, being attached at the other end to a lower part of the oppositeside edges of the back "panel and being interconnected one to the other by an inextensible line or number of lines of stitching lying on the vertical medial line of the wearers abdomen.
  • the inextensible stitched line may incorporate a ribbon of material to which both webs are attached.
  • the garment may incorporate a sliding fastener in one side seam in known manner to facilitate putting it on and taking it off. It may also be formed in its lower part with short legs to embrace the thighs of the wearer in the manner of a pantie.
  • the back panel of the garment may be made in more than one piece and such pieces may be extensible in one or more directions; they may also be cut to give a requisite fullness for support of the buttocks.
  • a gusset or filling piece of triangular shape may be stitched between the upper edges of the crossed webs and may constitute a part of a waistband. This filling piece may incorporate short bones for waist control.
  • a separate elastic web underlying the crossed webs and stitched to the side seams of the garment may replace the gusset.
  • the crossed webs themselves may each be made up from two or more pieces of material stitched together.

  • Fig. 13 is a side view of the garment of Fig. 12, Fig. 14 is a cross-section at the line XIV-XIV of Fig. 12
  • Fig. 15 is a representation of this garment in wear.
  • a foundation garment has a back panel made up of six parts.
  • the main area for support of the buttocks is made up of two ibroad webs of material of the lower edge seam 6 of the garment, and curved seams between the outsides of the lower edgesand the side edges serve to attach more or less triangularjgussets 7 and 8-of readily extensible material whose lower edges form part of the lower edge seam 6 of the garment and whose outer edges form part of the side seams-4 and 5 of the garment.
  • top edges of the webs slope downwards from their outer edges to the centre and the space above them is filled by two connected gusset piecesQ'and 10 of readily extensible material which extend upwards to'form'at'their tops the back portion of a waist band ll.
  • 'A' bu sk orbroad bone (not shown)v is' incorporated in the central vertical seam and extends from the waist band 11 to about the base of the wearers spine.
  • the front of the garment (Fig. 4) is comprised by three main parts: A pair of broad crossed webs 12 and 13 connected at their outer edges to the outer edges 4 and 5 of the back panel and a gusset or filling piece 14 of triangular form attached to the single exposed upper edges of the webs and constituting at its own upper edge the remainder or front portion of the waist band 11 of the garment.
  • the crossed webs are made of material giving a reasonably free extension in the line of their major length as indicated by the double lines on the cut-out sections.
  • Each web extends with a downward slope from one side of the garment to the other.
  • Ohe side edge of, each web having its upper corner A or B at the waistband 11 of the garment and its lower corner B or C at about the level of a wearers hip joint and having the upper corner D or E of its opposite edge a little above the hip joint of a wearer and the lower corner F or G of that edge connected at the lower edge seam 6 of the garment.
  • the crossed webs are interconnected upon a central vertical line 15 by stitches which also pass through an inextensible ribbon. In this way a completely firm vertical support is given to the wearers abodmen and slidin movement between the webs is prevented.
  • the front and back panels above described are permanently stitched together at one side edge 5 and over part of the length of the other side edge 4 whose upper part is provided with a sliding fastener 16 (Fig. 3).
  • Stocking suspenders are fixed at requisite-positions to ribbons or tapes on the lower edge of the garment.
  • a modified form of garment shown in Figs. 7, 8 and 9 is made in pantie form with a crotch piece and short legs.
  • the whole of this garment which is suitable for wear under sports dress, is made from easily extensible material.
  • the back panel is made up of an element 17 providing side edges shaped to the wearers hip line; this element haslines of major stretch approximately at right angles to the sides.
  • The'top edge of the element 17 forms the rear portion of a waist seam 20 and its lower edge provides anchorage for the rear part of mainly transversely extensible interior bands 21 and 22 which may have a velvet finish and constitute the insides of short thigh embracing legs of pantie style.
  • the front panel of the garment is basically similar to that of the garment earlier described. It has crossed over webs 12 and 13 constituting its main area, and these webs are interconnected by an inextensible central vertical seam 15. However, the garment is altogether shorter and the crossed webs are stitched partially to the side edges of the back panel 17 and partially (at their lower edges) to v the forward part of the bands 21 and 22 forming the legs of the garment.
  • a crotch piece 23, which may be extensible horizontally or vertically is stitched at its upper forward edge to both of the crossed webs 12 and 13, over its central part to the leg bands and at its upper rearward edge to the element 17 of the back panel.
  • FIG. 10 A garment of the roll-on type for a lighter figure is shown in Figs. 10 and 11.
  • the back panel is comprised by a single elastic panel 24 joined at its side seams 25 and 26 (which incorporate inextensible ribbons) to crossed webs 12 and 13.
  • the webs 12 and 13 are interconnected by an inextensible seam 15 stitched through a centrally arranged ribbon.
  • the back panel 27 is a single web which is shaped and formed with pockets for bones or busks 28 and 29.
  • the side seams of the panel 27 also incorporate bones" 30and 31.
  • the front of the garment comprises crossed webs 12 and 13 joined at 15 as in the other forms described. But underlying these webs is a separate broad waist band 32 incorporating bones 33 and 34 and a central inextensible ribbon 35.
  • This waist band is stitched to the side seams of the back panel, but is quite free of'the webs 12 and 13 over the whole of the centre of the front of the garment.
  • a foundation garment comprising a back panel having side edges extending substantially throughout the length of the garment and a front panel consisting Wholly of a pair of crossed over webs of material extensible in at least one direction, the said webs being attached at one end to the side edges of the back panel to extend from the tops thereof to portions of approximately the mid-point of the garment, and being attached at the other end to a lower part of the opposite side edges of the back panel and being interconnected one to the other by an inextensible line of stitching lying on and extending throughout the vertical medial line of the front panel of the garment.
  • a foundation garment according to claim 1 which is formed in its lower portion with short legs and a crotch piece.
