Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a circularly knit garment with an anti-slip seamless unitary garment that covers the upper body and lower torso of a wearer. The garment includes a bra-slip made of material that is seamlessly woven light weight microfiber nylon and spandex, with a bust support to enhance the bust line and prevent breast spillage. The garment also includes self-adjusting stretch straps to eliminate any bra bulge or breast spillage from the front and side. The invention also provides a torso trim bra-slip designed for women with lymphedema, which includes an inner arm compression portion to reduce swelling. Overall, the invention offers body contouring functions and seamless design to improve the appearance and comfort of the wearer."

Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional girdle is made of heavy fabric and requires seaming of individual panels and can have a rubberized feeling next to a wearer's skin, and is uncomfortable and hot.
However, these garments do not provide a unitary garment that is designed to address the varying objectives of the upper and lower body parts that the present invention, the torso trim slip does by providing a seamless, naturally contouring bra-slip that does not roll up.
However, the side support panels do not eliminate the breast spillage on either side.
However, the garment does not provide a cup for shaping.
In addition, the embodiment described in Chatman is very susceptible to riding up.
