Abstract

Front, rear and side garment sections are stitched together in body encircling relationship and one of the sections, such as the front section or one of the side sections, is openable. The openable section includes a non-elastic outer panel having a vertical slit with a slide fastener at edges of the slit, and a pair of mutually crossed elastic inner panels which extend diagonally transversely of the slit at the inside of the outer panel and are stitched to side edges of the outer panel.

Claims

1. A girdle-type garment comprising a plurality of interconnected body encircling sections including an elastic section yieldable in a circumferential direction, an outer panel of non-elastic material superposed on the outer surface of said elastic section, lines of stitching securing said outer panel to the elastic section, said outer panel and said elastic section being provided with a vertical slit open at its upper end, a slide fastener secured to the slit edges of the outer panel and elastic section, and a pair of elastically stretchable inner panels disposed at the inside of the garment beneath said elastic section, said inner panels extending transversely of said slit in mutually crossing relation and being secured to the elastic section and to said outer panel by said lines of stitching.

2. The garment as defined in claim 1 which is further characterized in that said inner panels are stretchable diagonally transversely of said slit.

3. A girdle-type garment comprising a plurality of interconnected body encircling sections including an elastic section yieldable in a circumferential direction, an outer panel of non-elastic material superposed on the outer surface of said elastic section, first lines of stitching securing said outer panel to the elastic section, said outer panel and said elastic section being provided with a vertical slit open at its upper end, a slide fastener secured to the slit edges of the outer panel and elastic section, a pair of non-elastic sections disposed at the opposite side edges of said elastic section, second lines of stitching securing said non-elastic sections to the opposite side edges of the elastic section, and a pair of elastically stretchable inner panels disposed at the inside of the garment beneath said elastic section, said inner panels extending transversely of said slit in mutually crossing relation and being secured to the non-elastic and elastic sections by said second lines of stitching.

4. The garment as defined in claim 3 which is further characterized in that said inner panels are stretchable diagonally transversely of said slit.

5. A girdle-type garment comprising a plurality of interconnected body encircling sections including a non-elastic section provided with a vertical slit open at its upper end, a slide fastener secured to the slit edges of said non-elastic section, a pair of elastic sections disposed at the opposite side edges of said non-elastic section, lines of stitching securing said elastic sections to the opposite side edges of the non-elastic section, and a pair of elastically stretchable inner panels disposed at the inside of the garment beneath said non-elastic section, said inner panels extending transversely of said slit in mutually crossing relation and being secured to the non-elastic and elastic sections by said lines of stitching.

6. The garment as defined in claim 5 which is further characterized in that said inner panels are stretchable diagonally transversely of said slit.
