ABSTRACT:
A body-type garment, i.e. a garment intended to cover at least a portion of the torso of the wearer comprises a strip of material having generally parallel side edges and inclined end edges defining at least approximately a parallelogram shape. String passages, for example a hem or fold, extend at least along the side edges of the strip. The strip is coiled into helical form about the body of the wearer with side edges of adjacent convolutions of the strip adjacent one another. String extending through the string passages is drawn taut and secured so as to hold the side edges of adjacent convolutions adjacent one another. A pants-type garment comprising a body portion and two leg portions extending downward from the body portion has each leg and an associated portion of the body portion made from a strip of material likewise having side edges and inclined helical edges defining at least approximately a parallelogram. Each of the strips is coiled into helical form to form a leg of the garment while upper end portions of the strips are shaped and joined so as to form the body portion. String extending through string passages along at least side edges of the strip are pulled taut and secured so as to hold the side edges of adjacent convolutions of the strip together.
