ABSTRACT:
A garment (10) provides comforting support to the abdomen when in a reclining position, particularly adapted for wear by pregnant women, however may also be worn by other individuals in need of abdominal support as described. The garment (10) includes a non-padded, expandable front panel (12) attached to two side panels (14,16) constructed of layered padding (34,36,38,40,42) encased in soft material (30,32). The side panels (14,16) extend into back flaps (18,20) that secure the garment (10) at the back of the wearer. The back flaps (18,20) include adjustable fastening means (44,46,48). The layered padding (34,36,38,40,42) in the side panels (14,16) provides more cushioning support toward the front or anterior part of the abdomen. In one embodiment, the front panel (12) is expandable and gently gathered at the top and bottom (22,24) of the front panel (12) to allow automatic adjustment to increases in abdominal girth and changes in body contour. In other embodiments the garment (10) may include pockets (52,54) sewn into the inside front (12) and side panels (14,16) that are capable of holding moisturizing means next to the abdomen to moisten dry, pruritic, stretched abdominal skin.
