Problems solved by technology

These gatherings then form unsightly bulges in the surface of the outer garment, e.g., a blouse or dress.
These bulges tend to destroy the otherwise attractive lines of the outer garment.
These proposed shirts, although well suited to wear as an outer garment during vigorous physical activity, fail to provide truly effective means for absorbing the underarm perspiration that usually accompanies strenuous work.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] As best illustrated in FIG. 1, an item of lingerie, for example, a brassiere 10 has a pair of breast cups 11, 12 joined together at the general line of breast cleavage 13. The lower edges 14, 15 and the generally vertical edges 16, 17 of the breast cups 11, 12 are joined to a band 20 that encircles the midriff of the wearer (not shown). The ends of the band 20 are selectively joined, at the middle of the wearer's back, by means of fasteners 21, 22 (FIG. 2).

[0023] Adjustable shoulder straps 23, 24 (FIG. 1) are attached, respectively, to tops 25, 26 of the breast cups 11, 12 and to the band 20. Each of the shoulder straps 23, 24 is provided with individual adjustment buckles 27, 30 to enable the wearer to shorten or lengthen the straps 23, 24 and accommodate the lengths of these straps to the size and configuration of the wearer. Thus, drawing on the strap ends 31, 32 shortens the respective straps 23, 24, and drawing portions of the strap ends 31, 32 through the individual buc...

Abstract

The garment has sleeves that are wider than twice the distance between the wearer's shoulders and armpits. These sleeves form folds of sleeve material under the armpits that absorb perspiration and prevent staining the outer garment. Attached to lingerie, the sleeves have bights formed in the sleeve material. These bights prevent the sleeve material from gathering, or bundling, as the lingerie shoulder straps are adjusted to adapt to the wearer's physique, thereby establishing a smooth transition from the sleeves to the lingerie that avoids forming unsightly humps in the outer garment surface. When the sleeves are used with a body shirt, a crotch strap is provided on the body shirt to stabilize the body shirt on the wearer's torso and to prevent the body shirt from "riding up" on the wearer's torso during strenuous physical activity.

Description

[0001] NoneFEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT[0002] NoneSEQUENCE LISTING[0003] None[0004] This invention relates to undergarments for absorbing perspiration and, more particularly, to perspiration absorbing loose fifting undergarment sleeves, with triangular recesses to accommodate adjustment straps for female undergarments and a crotch strap to stabilize a perspiration absorbing undergarment body shirt, and the like.[0005] Wide sleeves with an abundant gathering of cloth in the vicinity of the armpit for absorbing perspiration more effectively than dress shields have been suggested for feminine undergarments. The gathering of cloth underneath the armpit provides markedly better protection for the outer garment from perspiration stains and the like, than dress shields, those small, semicircular bits of cloth that fit over the seam that joins the sleeve of an outer garment to the body of the garment. These wide sleeved undergarments with the abundant gathering of cloth freq...
