ABSTRACT:
A garment that works in response to the degree of correction needed to support the anterior abdominal wall and provide a cosmetic reshaping of the abdomen to yield a flat appearance. A support panel (10) has three elastic webs (12, 14, 16) with their respective grains running at contrasting angles. When in use, the support panel is positioned on the lower abdomen and the webs interact with one another so that the support panel assumes a pouch-like shape that holds and lifts the abdomen. A shaping panel (40) is connected to the waistband and positioned in front of the support panel (10). The shaping panel (40) includes two elastic side webs (44,46) that interact with a nonelastic central web (42) to cause the shaping panel to assume a curvilinear operative configuration. A lower portion of the shaping panel conforms to the pouch-like shape of the support panel and cooperates therewith to hold and lift the abdomen. An upper portion of the shaping panel remains substantially flat and operates against the abdomen to spread the same between the hipbones and provide a flat appearance.
