Benefits of technology

[0019]The present invention provides a knitted-in band for terminating a raw edge of a footless pantyhose leg. The knitted-in leg band has two layers which together create a stretch factor for the leg band. The leg portion of the footless pantyhose also has a stretch factor. The stretch factor of the leg band of the present invention is approximately equal to the stretch factor of the leg portion which substantially reduces the indentations created by the leg bands.
[0021]In addition, the present invention provides a comfortable leg band where the denier of the elastic in each layer of the leg band is equal or less than the denier of the elastic yarn in the leg portion.

Problems solved by technology

However, sculpting creates a high level of discomfort.
For occasional use tight undergarments or shapewear serve a purpose, but for working women who need to wear these types of undergarments for a long period of time like ten hours or more on daily basis, tight undergarments are not practical.
The footless pantyhose or shapewear are also very thick which do not allow the body to easily breathe.
The conventional leg bands made with high elastic yarns, such as 150 denier spandex, cause a lot of discomfort and may also cause blood circulation problems.
In addition, the compressive force causes an indentation in the leg which is not desirable when worn with tight clothing.
They also are usually thicker than the rest of the leg portion because they have two layers and therefore do not allow the body to easily breathe and cause an uneven look.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a footless pantyhose undergarment or shapewear 10 of the present invention. The panty portion 12 covers the abdomen and the buttocks of the wearer and two leg portions 14 and 16 cover the legs. The panty portion 12 ends at a waist terminating portion 18, hereinafter referred to as waistband 18. The leg portions 14 and 16 end at their respective leg terminating portions 20, hereinafter referred to as leg bands 20. Each leg band is made of a two-ply knitted in band. However, the waistband 18 and leg bands 20 can be elastic bands, knitted-in welts, knitted-in bands, or can use any other knitting process which can create a terminating edge. Furthermore, the leg portions 14 and 16 are seamlessly knitted to the panty portion 12 along the line 21.

[0032]It should be noted that, unlike fashion hosiery, the footless pantyhose undergarment or shapewear discussed in this specification is strictly used as an undergarment and is not visible to the public....
