AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]An object of the present invention is to provide a circularly knit garment comprising an anti-slip seamless unitary garment, the bra-slip, said bra-slip garment configured and adapted to cover the upper body and the lower torso of a wearer. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the present invention provides an upper body garment formed of material that is seamlessly woven light weight microfiber nylon and spandex and includes a bust support that eliminates unsightly breast spillage from the two bra-cups laterally and enhances the bust line in the front. The two bra-cups are separated by a central ruching of integral knit. The upper garment also includes self-adjusting stretch straps uniquely shaped to eliminate unsightly breast spillage in the front and and side of the breast and any bra bulge from the back silhouette. Each bra-cup includes a side ruching for bust shaping and a smooth knit adjoining the side ruching to provide a no-show through t-shirt knit.

[0010]Another object of the present invention is to provide a circularly knit garment comprising of an anti-slip seamless unitary garment having body contouring function and seamlessly extending from under the breast to the hip bone and made of a stretchable ribbing knit of maximum control at the front and at the rear of the garment. The tummy and waist line are constricted to make the wearer's tummy look flat and smooth and therefore appear slimmer.

[0012]And yet, another object of the present invention is to provide an anti-slip seamless unitary garment having body contouring function and seamlessly extending from the mid-thigh region towards the knees to a full slip, being made of a light smoothing knit to prevent rolling or riding up of the slip. The unitary garment ends in a band of jersey knit that allows ease of movement and prevents rolling up or binding of the thighs.

[0013]An especially important object of the present invention is to provide a torso trim bra-slip designed for women with lymphedema comprising an embodiment comprising on each side of the bra-slip a sleeve having an inner arm compression portion of medium control to eliminate the bulging or flabby triceps to give a slim appearance to the upper arm and control the tricep dangle. In addition, for women who have had lymph nodes removed due to breast cancer and suffer from lymphedema, the compression in the arm can be helpful to minimize swelling.

Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional girdle is made of heavy fabric and requires seaming of individual panels and can have a rubberized feeling next to a wearer's skin, and is uncomfortable and hot.

However, these garments do not provide a unitary garment that is designed to address the varying objectives of the upper and lower body parts that the present invention, the torso trim slip does by providing a seamless, naturally contouring bra-slip that does not roll up.

However, the side support panels do not eliminate the breast spillage on either side.

However, the garment does not provide a cup for shaping.

In addition, the embodiment described in Chatman is very susceptible to riding up.
