ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed generally to an undergarment with body contouring function.
2. Description of the Prior Art
One of the most common cosmetic surgery to provide body contouring is by way of liposuction. However, this cosmetic surgery is only suitable to people with excessive fat in the body, and the fat cells in the body are then sucked or drawn from the area with excessive fat.
This method cannot be applied to women having a little excess of fat in the body. Additionally, for women with a small breast and with excess fat at few areas on the body, such method is not required.
Some conventional methods to provide a women with a stiff breast is by incorporating a pad into the bras that she wore, or to incorporate a pad into a pant she wore to increase the stiffness of the hip. However, the procedures of wearing are laborious and troublesome and this method cannot eliminate the formation of fat in the body. In other words, the object of body contouring cannot be achieved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an undergarment with body contouring function, wherein the seams at the front and rear of the undergarment are made by stretchable material such that the seams provide a pushing force towards the breast and the hip of the wearer.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an undergarment with body contouring function, wherein the bottom section of the crotch lining provides an opening or a closure when the legs are separated apart or closed together. Accordingly, this allows the wear to use toilet facilities easily without having to remove the undergarment.
A further object of the invention is to provide an undergarment with body contouring function, wherein a zipper is provided to the undergarment so as to facilitate the wearing of the undergarment by the wearer.
An aspect of the present invention is to provide an undergarment having body contouring function, being made from a stretchable material and having stitching or seams located at the front and rear side of the undergarment. The fat of the body of the wearer is pushed towards the breast or hip such that the breast and the hip of the wearer look stiff and larger. A zipper is provided at one lateral side of the undergarment for easy wearing of the undergarment. The bottom end of the groin is provided with two crotch linings such that linings such that when the wearer closes the two legs together, an opening will not occur and when the two legs are separated apart, an opening is formed for enabling the wearer to use toilet facilities easily without having to remove the undergarment.
The foregoing objects and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
