ABSTRACT:
Apparel adapted to cover the lower portion of the human torso includes a contoured waistband portion having opposed sides which extend adjacent to or slightly above the upper edges of the hip bones and extend generally across the lower back and the lower front abdomen in a downwardly extending converging V shape. The waistband portion is formed of a fabric having a high degree of stretch along stretch and recovery lines which converge in a downward direction toward the longitudinal vertical centerline of the torso. A form fitting undergarment including the waistband configuration is formed of a knit or woven fabric stretchable and recoverable along the same general direction as the recovery forces exerted on the waistband and includes improved leg opening and crotch panel construction for comfort and ease of movement.
