5 Claims. (01. 2-73) both being of identical configuration and extend from the hem H of the garment to the top thereof. The adjacent longitudinal edges Illa and I la. respectively of said panels are connected to each other by the longitudinal stitches [5, the said line of stitching extending from hem H to the top of the median line L of the garment.

Each said front panel l0 and II has an integral upper extension BR and BL respectively, which, together withthe upper portions of side inserts l2 and 13 form the front of bodice section B. The upper edges lb and 100, and Ilb and H0, respectively, of each of said extension BR and BL are upwardly inclined towards each other, imparting a double inverted V-shaped appearance to the top of the garment.

As shown in Fig. 2A, front panels I0 and II have outer side edges of identical configuration, namely a lowermost slightly inclined portion lfld and lid, respectively; an inwardly inclined angular portion [0e and He, respectively, extending from point Al to point A2, and point Bl to point B2, respectively; a slightly inclined short angular portion lflf and II respectively, extending respectivey from point A2 to point A3, and point B2 to point B3; an outwardlyinclined short angular portion [09 and Hg, respectively, extending respectively from point A3 to point A4, and point B3 to point B4; a downwardly extending inclined short angular portion Hlh and Hit, respectively, extending respectively from point A4 to point A5, and point B4 to point B5; and an arcuate upper portion Hli'and Hi, respectively, extending from point A5 to point A6, and point B5 to point B6, respectively. It will be noted that side edges 19g and 10h, and Hg and Nb respectively, are upwardly inclined towards each other forming the triangular notches N and NN respectively therebetween.

As clearly shown in Fig. 2A, each side insert 12 and I3 is of identical configuration, both being cut on the bias. Each said insert has respectively longitudinal outer side edges Ma and l3a, extending upwardly respectively from apex CI to point C5, and from apex DI to point D5; upwardly inclined inner side edges 12b and l3b, extending upwardly respectively from apex 'CI to point C2, and from apex DI to point D2; slightly inclined inner side edges I20 and I30, extending upwardly respectively from point C2 to C3, and from point D2 to D3; outwardly curved concave inner side edges Hot and Kid, extending respectively from point C3 to point C4, and

from point D3 to point D4; and the short downwardly inclined'top edges He and Be, extending respectively from uppermost point C4 to point C5, and from uppermost point D4 to point D5.

Before describing the stitching of front panels In and II to side inserts I2 and I3 to form the front of the slip, the following should be noted:

Edges I21) and I3b of side inserts I2 and I3 are respectively of the same length and angularity as edges We and Me of front panels Ill and II.

Edgesv I20 and I3c of side inserts I2 and I3 are respectively of the same length and inclination as edges I0,f and III of front panels I and I I.

Arcuate edges I2d and I3d of side inserts I2 and I3 are respectively of the same length as arcuate edges I02 and Hi of front panels I0 and II.

The front of the improved garment is formed.

in the following manner:

Edges IIlg and IOh of front panel IO- are stitched to each other on the back face of said panel to form the upwardly extending angular bodice seam X. Point A5 will thus coincide with point A3. Similarly, edges Hg and Hit of front panel II are stitched to each other on the back face of said panel to form the upwardly extend- 1 ing angular bodice seam Y. Point B5 will thus coincide with point B3.

A dart E is then formed in the upper extension BR of front panel ID, forming the bodice seam EI, the said seam extending from upper edge IIlb downwardly into the said extension. Similarly, a dart F is formed in upper extension BL of front panel II, forming the bodice seam FI, the said seam extending from uper edge Ilb downwardly into the said extension.

Edges I21), I20, I31) and I30 of side inserts I2 and I3 are respectively connected to edges Ille, ID), No and III of front panels Ill and II by the inclined lines of stitching I6 and I1. Point CI will thus coincide with point AI point G2 with point A2; point C3 with points A3 and A5; point DI with BI; point D2 and B2; point D3 with points B3 and B5. Edges I2d and I3d of said side inserts I2 and I3 are respectively connected to edges I02 and Hi of said front panels I0 and II by the curved lines of stitching I8 and I9. Point C4 will thus coincide with point A6, and similarly point D4 with point B6.

A vertical line of stitching connects lower side edge I Id of front panel I I, vertical side edge I3a of side insert I3 to one of the vertical side edges of rear panel I4, at the side of the garment. The. opposite side of the garment is similarly finished off. The usual shoulder straps 2I are provided to complete the garment.

If desired, the darts E and F may be dispensed wi'th." The back of the garment may comprise a single panel or any number of panels. Likewise, front panels In and II may be integral.

The improved garment is form-fitting by reason of the provision of side inserts I2 and I3. As the said inserts are cut on the bias and front panels I0 and II on the straight, the said front panels exert a pull on the said side inserts. It will be noted that the said inserts extend from a point above hem H in skirt section S right up to the armpit portions of the bodice B of the garment.

Figs. 3 and 4 show a slightly modified form of construction at the front of the garment. The construction is the same as heretofore described with respect to Figs. 1, 2 and 2A, save that the front of the slip is different in the following respects:

Instead of two complementary front panels. ex-

tending from the hem of the garment to the top thereof, Fig, 3 shows two complementary front bust panels 30 and 3I which terminate at the waistline W of the garment. A front panel 32, cut on the straight, and side inserts 33 and 34 complete the front of the garment. The said side inserts are cut on the bias. The vertical line of stitching 33 connects the adjacent vertical edges of front bust panels 30 and 3 I. The lines of stitching 35, which are downwardly inclined to each other, connect the upper inclined edges of skirt panel 32 with the lower inclined edges of bust panels 30 and 3 I, the front of the garment having a V-shaped appearance at the waistline W thereof. In all other respects the garment of Fig. 3, isJthe same as the garment illustrated in Figs. land 2,.

"Skirt'panel 32 exerts a pull on side inserts 33 and 34, and bust panels 30 and 3I likewise exert a pull on said side inserts.

If desired, the improved slip may be provided with the breast inserts illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6. These inserts are designated by the reference numerals 40 and M, and are complementary in construction and configuration.

As shown in Figs. 7 and 8, each bust insert panel is made from a substantially annular blank of material M, cut at the top thereof to define the angular adjacent edges 42 and 43 respectively. The said edges are connected to each other by the vertical line of stitching 44. When this is done, a circular opening will be formed, as shown in Fig. 8. The peripheral edge of said opening has stitched thereto an elastic binding or narrow tape 5-I When each said bust insert panel section is formed as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, it is stitched to the rear face of bodice B of the slip by the upwardly inclined lines of stitching 45, the curved lines of stitching 4B, and the medial vertical line of stitching 41, as explicitly shown in Fig. 5. It will be noted from Fig. 5 that the said breast insert panels are not stitched at their adjacent portions of their bottom inner edges 48 and 49, that is, those portions that overlie the rear faces of the front panels of the garment.

It will be discerned from Figs. 5 and 6 that two pockets or compartments PI and P2 are respectively formed intermediate the two breast insert panels and the bodice B, access to the said pockets being through openings 50. Each breast is inserted through each said opening 50, and is snugly held by elastic 5 I There have been illustrated and described preferred embodiments of the invention, but it is obvious that numerous changes and omissions may be made without departing from its spirit.

If the improved slip embodies the bust insert construction, the shoulder straps may be dispensed with as the garment can be supported by the snug holding of the breasts by the elastic 5I. It will be. noted from Fig. 5 and Fig. 8 that an important part of the bust insert feature is that there are provided a plurality of radiall extending folds 52 before elastic 5| is stitched to the peripheral edge of opening 50. This permits the snug holding of the breast and also permits the movement therewith of inserts 40 and M towards bodice B. As shown in Fig. 6, pocket PI is of somewhat conical configuration.
