  • FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, 6 represents-a panty girdle having an encircling upper portion and a pair of legs 8.
  • the girdle is formed with side panels 9 of a stretchable or nonstretchable material extendingbetween elastic lace leg bands 10 and waist band 11.
  • Lower front panels 12 and 13 of stretchable material extend from leg bands 10 to the main front panel 14 which is described in more detail hereinafter.
  • back panels 15 and 16 of stretchable material extend between the leg bands 10 and main back panel 17 which is of similar construction to panel 14.
  • a stretchable or nonstretchable crotch panel 18 may also be provided.
  • Front panel 14 includes elastic panels 1, 2 and 3 which, as previously indicated correspond to the muscle system of the abdomen.

  • edges of panels 1, 2 and 3 are not parallel, and it is a particular feature of the present invention that the nonparallel edges 19, 20, 21 and 22 have a common focus 23 which, by extrapolation, is usually located on side panel 9. Further, these nonparallel edges are sewn together to ensure that no gaps in muscle control occur.
  • back panel 17 has 3 subpanels having nonparallel edges and which have a common focus at 23.
