Benefits of technology

[0024]In another embodiment, a swim suit for a wearer is disclosed. The swim suit may comprise an upper portion for covering a torso and breasts of a wearer. The upper portion may comprise an inner compression layer and an outer layer. The inner compression layer may cover breasts of a wearer. The inner compression layer may be sized and configured to snugly fit against the wearer's body for shaping the wearer's body. The inner compression layer may define an upper periphery. The outer layer may cover the inner compression layer and have a matching configuration with respect to the inner compression layer. The outer layer may define an upper periphery. The outer layer may be attached to the inner compression layer at their respective upper peripheries such that the inner compression layer floats freely with respect to the outer layer for optimally orienting the inner layer on the wearer's body for shaping and optimally orienting the outer layer on the wearer's body for aesthetic appeal.
[0025]The swimsuit may also have a lower portion for covering a pelvis area of a wearer. The lower portion may comprise an inner compression layer and an outer layer. The inner compression layer may cover genetalia of a wearer. The inner compression layer may be sized and configured to snugly fit against the wearer's body for shaping the wearer's body. The inner compression layer may define an upper periphery. The outer layer may cover the inner compression layer and have a matching configuration with respect to the inner compression layer. The outer layer may define an upper periphery. The outer layer may be attached to the inner compression layer at their respective upper peripheries such that the inner compression layer floats freely with respect to the outer layer for optimally orienting the inner layer on the wearer's body for shaping and optimally orienting the outer layer on the wearer's body for aesthetic appeal.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the prior art swimsuits having multiple layers are manufactured in a way that optimal placement of the inner garment on the wearer's body may shift placement of the outer garment on the wearer's body so as to be sub-optimal, and vice versa.
Either the exterior layer is not optimally placed or the inner layer is not optimally placed.

second embodiment

[0111]Referring now to FIG. 5, the swimsuit 10 is shown. The swimsuit 10 may incorporate one or more of the various features discussed above in relation to the swimsuit shown in FIGS. 1-4. Moreover, the lower portion 75 of the inner compression layer 12 may be seamless. In particular, the lower portion 75 may be fabricated similar to a tube. Unlike the inner compression layer 12 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the inner compression layer 12 shown in FIG. 6 does not have separate forward and rearward panels 20, 22 which are sewn together at their lateral peripheries. Rather, the lower portion 75 of the inner compression layer 12 may be fabricated as a tube so as to be seamless about its outer periphery. Alternatively, the lower portion 75 of the inner compression layer may be cut and sewn to provide better fit and / or compression.

[0112]The lower portion 75 of the inner compression layer 12, as shown in FIG. 6 may have a seam 83 (see FIG. 5) at the crotch area and a seam 85 (see FIG. 6) which ...

third embodiment

[0115]Referring now to FIGS. 8-10, the swimsuit 10 is shown. The swimsuit 10 comprises an upper portion 98 separate from a lower portion 100. The upper portion 98 may have an identical configuration as compared to the swimsuits 10 described and shown in FIGS. 1 and 5. By way of example and not limitation, in an aspect, the inner compression layer may be configured to tightly fit against the wearer's body to shape and contour the wearer's body. Also, at least a portion of an upper periphery of the inner layer 12a may be attached to at least a portion of an upper periphery of the outer layer. In this manner, the upper portion 98 may have an inner compression layer 12a and an outer layer 14a which are free floating with respect to each other. Moreover, the lower portion of the inner compression layer 12a may be seamless. Alternatively, the lower portion of the inner compression layer 12a may be cut and sewn to provide better fit and / or compression.

[0116]The lower portion 100 may also c...

fifth embodiment

[0127]Referring now to FIGS. 13A-14B, the swimsuit 150 is shown. The swimsuit 150 also may include inner and outer layers 12, 14. The upper peripheries 156, 170 of the outer and inner layers 14, 12 may be attached to each other. The entire or majority of the upper periphery 156 including the front neckline 158, left and right arm holes 160, 162 and the back neckline 164 may be attached to the entire or majority of the upper periphery 170 of the inner layer 12 respectively including the front neckline 172, left and right arm holes 174, 176 and the back neckline 178. The inner layer 12 is disposed inside of the outer layer 14 in this as well as in the other embodiments.

[0128]Also, the leg openings 188, 190 of the outer layer 14 may be attached to the leg openings 192, 194 of the inner layer 12. The left and right inner peripheries 196, 198 may be attached to the left and right inner peripheries 200, 202 of the leg openings 192, 194. It is contemplated that the entire or majority of th...

Abstract

A swimsuit comprising an inner compression layer attached to an outer layer in a free floating manner is provided. The inner compression layer shapes, contours and slims the wearer's body, whereas the outer layer provides an aesthetically pleasing design. The inner and outer layers are positioned substantially independent from each other on the wearer's body for their respective purposes. It is further contemplated that the outer layer provides an additional shaping, contouring and slimming function in addition to the inner compression layer. Left and right leg openings of the inner and outer layers may be spot attached to each other at one or more locations.
