Benefits of technology

The patent describes a garment with a supportive inner layer that prevents the garment from sliding, creasing, or distorting when the wearer moves. This inner layer has a pelvic portion that includes a crotch portion and first and second sub-portions that provide more compression on the wearer's buttocks, helping to improve posture and lift the buttocks and provide support to the lower back.

Problems solved by technology

Without support from the inner layer of the garment, such areas would sag or hang, resulting in an undesirable appearance.
