ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to ladies' sleeved undergarments, and more particularly to such an undergarment wherein the sleeves are capable of covering a wearers' arm without adding undue bulkiness about the torso of the wearer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is natural for skin flabbiness and wrinkles to develop in the upper arms and forearms of a person due to muscle aging and excess weight. As a result, many people feel that their arms are heavy or unattractive, especially when wearing sleeveless apparel. At the present time, the primary option available to conceal one's arms when wearing sleeveless apparel is to wear a bulky sleeved undershirt beneath the sleeveless garment. However, many sleeveless garments on the market, such as tank-tops and form fitting dresses, are not designed to be worn such undershirts.
The present invention is able to conceal or cover a wearer's arms by use of a novel sleeved undergarment wherein the sleeves serve to cover the wearer's arms without adding undue bulkiness about the torso of the wearer. In addition to improving the physical appearance of the wearer, the unique garment allows for increased versatility to one's wardrobe.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A ladies' sleeved undergarment is provided for concealing a wearer's arms without adding undue bulkiness about the torso of the wearer. The undergarment comprises a conventional brassiere with sleeves attached thereto. The undergarment can further include a jersey covering over the brassiere, and the sleeves can include an elasticized portion along the under-arm of the intended wearer to further prevent undue bulkiness.
A principle object of the present invention is to provide a ladies' sleeved undergarment that will conceal any flabbiness, wrinkles, or age spots that may exists on the arm of the wearer without adding undue bulkiness about the torso of the wearer.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a ladies' sleeved undergarment that provides the support of a brassiere while covering the wearer's arms without adding undue bulkiness about the torso of the wearer to thereby add versatility to wearer's wardrobe.
