ABSTRACT:
A torso support for pregnant women includes abdominal, breast and back support panels and laterally extending upper and lower elastic strips. The upper strip extending along a junction of the lower edge of the breast support panel and the upper edge of the abdominal support panel, and the lower elastic strip extending around a bottom edge of the abdominal support panel adjacent a waist opening of the torso support, are stretchable in only a lateral direction. A pair of shoulder straps extending from an upper portion of the breast support panel to a central upper region on a back of the torso support define neck and shoulder openings. The back support panel has a hexagonal configuration and tapers in width from a widest upper portion to a narrower lower portion. Side edges of the back support panel extend in conformance with arcuate peripheral edge portions of the shoulder openings. Ends of the upper strip are secured to central regions of lateral edges of the back support panel. A bottom arcuate edge of the back support panel is sewn to the lower elastic strip. The breast and abdominal support panels are formed from a woven cotton blend fabric material stretchable in longitudinal and lateral directions. The back support panel is formed from a woven fabric material stretchable in only a longitudinal direction. The torso support is worn as an undergarment or outergarment and provides support for the lower abdomen, back and breasts of a pregnant woman.
