Built-In Shapewear Top Structure for a Neat Lower Hem
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tops do not inherently provide body shaping and require additional corsets or inner garments that compromise the aesthetics and fit of the outer garment, particularly affecting the lower hem when worn with pants.
Innovation Solution
A top with a built-in shapewear that integrates an inner garment with shaping portions and a high-waisted or one-piece pants structure, where the lower hem of the outer garment is fixed to the inner garment, eliminating the need for a separate lower hem arrangement and enhancing aesthetics and comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If an inner corset is sewn on the inside of a top to achieve body shaping, then body shaping function is improved, but the lower hem becomes longer and exposes the inner garment, compromising aesthetics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the inner corset and outer top into a single integrated garment structure. The inner corset is constructed as a one-piece or high-waisted pants structure that is seamlessly integrated with the outer top, eliminating the need for separate garments and their associated aesthetic problems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extends the coverage area of the integrated garment to include the lower body region. By adding pants or high-waisted bottom structure to the traditional top, the garment naturally covers the lower hem area, solving the exposure problem through dimensional extension.
2Ease of manufacture
If the coverage area of the outer garment is increased to completely cover the inner garment, then the inner garment becomes invisible, but the lower hem becomes longer and needs to be arranged in place
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the inner corset and outer top into a single integrated garment with unified construction. The seams and joints are strategically positioned and constructed to be invisible from the outside, achieving the traceless effect while eliminating the need for separate hem arrangement.
3Ease of manufacture
If a corset is worn inside a top to achieve body shaping, then body shaping function is improved, but the device complexity increases with multiple separate garments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate garments (inner corset and outer top) into a single integrated garment. This unified structure maintains all body shaping functions while reducing the number of separate components that need to be worn and coordinated.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated garment performs multiple functions simultaneously: it provides body shaping through the inner corset structure, offers outer garment aesthetics and coverage, and eliminates the need for separate hem arrangement. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of clothing, in particular to a top with a built-in shapewear. The top with the built-in shapewear includes an outer garment and an inner garment, the outer garment is of a top structure, the inner garment is of a one-piece pants structure or a high-waisted pants structure and has a shaping portion used for applying a tightening force, a junction of a lower hem of the outer garment and the inner garment is located in a region three centimeters above and below a waistline of the inner garment, and an upper end of the outer garment is freely separated from the inner garment. The shapewear in the present disclosure can not only realize a body shaping function, but also make the lower hem of the outer garment of the top neat, ordered and not messy.
