Embodiment Construction

[0021]Referring to the drawings and, in particular to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a swimsuit that is generally referred to by reference numeral 10. The swimsuit 10 includes a torso portion 15 and a bra portion 20. Torso portion 15 may include any number of panels, such as, a front panel 35 and rear or back panel 30 or a single panel. Front panel 35 and rear panel 30 are joined by seams 40 and 45 and at crotch 50. Front panel 35 may be formed by a single panel or any number of panel or sections, as desired. Similarly, rear panel 30 may also be divided into separate panels or portions. Bra portion 20 has one or more shoulder straps 25, depending upon the style of the swimming suit. The fabric of the present disclosure provides support and added comfort to the various areas of the swimsuit. While a swimming suit is shown in FIG. 1, other types of garments such as shapewear, undergarment, liner and bra frame construction could also incorporate the fabric of the present disclosure. Such...

Abstract

A garment including a fabric covering a portion of a body of a wearer. The fabric comprises an isotropic material having a first direction with a first modulus of elasticity, and a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. The second direction has a second modulus of elasticity and a third direction that is at an angle of 45 degrees to the first direction and the second direction. The third direction has a third modulus of elasticity. The first modulus of elasticity, the second modulus of elasticity and the third modulus of elasticity are within the same ranges of magnitudes of modulus of elasticity to form an isotropic fabric for such garment.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 370,295 filed on Aug. 3, 2010, which is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]1. Field of the Disclosure[0003]The present disclosure relates generally to a fabric having substantially isotropic stretchability and uniform modulus in multiple directions. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an elasticized fabric having isotropic stretchability and uniform modulus in all directions that is incorporated into a garment or a garment that is constructed entirely of such isotropic fabric.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]There are several different types of stretch fabrics being used today for swimwear, shapewear, garment liner, or undergarment. These fabrics generally fall into the following classifications: a nylon / spandex combination in a tricot-type knit or circular knit, a nylon / spandex combination in a raschel-type k...
