Embodiment Construction

[0069]Many people have difficulty finding form fitting jeans that flatter their body shape and help define their silhouette. Form fitting jeans can actually appear to be too tight in some areas, and too loose in others. A problem with tight jeans is that they do not offer support for the wearer's body to hold in and smooth out certain areas that need added support. Consumers generally indicate these problematic areas to be the stomach, hips, seat, and thighs. After repeated wear, what were once tight-fitting jeans can noticeably begin to stretch, sag, and wear in the fabric around these areas of the body.

Abstract

Jeans are fitted based on the concept of shape, not size. There are at least three shape categories for different levels of curviness. With shape category information, the consumer can more easily find and fit a pair of form-fitting jeans. These jeans can also include a body shaping panel on an inside surface of a material of the pants to help actively shape the body. The body shaping panel enhances the body's natural curves while de-emphasizing the body's flaws, so the consumer can feel confident and attractive in their jeans.
