ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a garment which provides abdominal support, especially for pregnant women. The garment includes a panty and support straps. there are two support straps fastened to the front of the panty and from there they pass each over the shoulder of a wearer, they crisscross in the back, they each pass over the hip of a wearer and then the supporting straps are overlappingly and adjustably fastened to each other below the abdomen. This arrangement transfers the weight of the abdomen to the shoulders of the wearer and prevents the person from assuming a slouching posture. The supporting straps are knitted from elastic yarns and the knitted loops face forward, that is, away from the person. These knitted loops form one part of hook and loop fasteners. Other lateral straps each are fastened to the front of the supporting straps, they each pass through loops at a side waistline of the panty and then are fastened on the back of the supporting straps. These lateral straps direct the support straps outwardly from the neck. The panty has a crotch that can be opened and closed.
