GIRLS' MODESTY GARMENTS
A young girl's modesty garment substantially covering a wearer's pelvic region and a relatively short length of the wearer's upper thighs, may include a fitted panty portion including a main panty body partially bounded by a left leg opening and a right leg opening, and a crotch portion disposed at a lower vertical edge of the main panty body and laterally centered between the left and right leg openings. The modesty garment further comprises right and left fitted leg bodies permanently affixed to and contiguous with the panty portion at a seam disposed at the right and left leg openings, respectively. The right and left leg bodies extend downward from the right and left leg openings respectively. The right and left leg bodies each have a lower end disposed below the crotch portion, such that the right and left fitted leg bodies at least partially cover the upper thighs of a user when worn.
The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/712,341, filed Oct. 11, 2012, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
FIELD OF INVENTIONThe present invention relates general to modesty garments, and more particularly to modesty garments for young girls.
BACKGROUNDYoung girls often wear conventional panties beneath a skirt or similar article of clothing. Often times, due to their young age they have a complete lack of modesty. Accordingly, it not uncommon for young girls wearing skirts and similar articles of clothing to inadvertently expose themselves when they are playing, etc. This can attract unwanted attention and is, otherwise, an undesirable state for parents. As a result, many parents are hesitant to allow their young daughters to wear skirts or dresses. Parents may also choose to allow their young daughters to wear skirts, but require their daughters to wear shorts or leggings over the underwear and underneath the skirt; however, this solution provides many drawbacks. The shorts or leggings may not be aesthetically pleasing because they may not match the skirt; the leggings may be longer than the skirt and therefore may need to be rolled up or otherwise be exposed during normal use; the shorts or leggings may be uncomfortable, cumbersome, or too hot for the child to wear in addition to conventional underwear; and there are additional costs associated with purchasing shorts and leggings for that purpose.
Various types of alternative undergarments, such as athletic undergarments and women's undergarments with attached stockings or pantyhose are known. However, due primarily to the fact that these are generally designed for adults and/or designed for a different use (e.g., exercising/sports activity, combination pantyhose carrying undergarment), they are not designed or structured to be comfortably worn by young girls as underwear on a day-to-day basis. For example, stockings and many alternative undergarments have uncomfortable seams that extend up the center of the garment, including the crotch area, and are made of elastic material that tends to pull the garments down and away from the crotch area during use, also known as “riding down.” Moreover, these types of garments are not made of breathable materials, rendering them uncomfortable.
As another example, fabrics and designs chosen for athletic undergarments are highly specialized to meet the specific needs of an athletic wearer; such highly specialized fabrics and designs are often not desirable or appropriate for everyday use by a child. Many athletic undergarments, such as those designed for exercising, yoga, dancing, cycling, and other sports are designed to be tight-fitting and provide a resilient compressive fit. This is typically achieved by creating garments that are made of fabrics having resilient fibers. These types of garments are typically sized to be smaller than the user's body, such that, when worn, the fabric must stretch to accommodate the user's body, thereby providing a tight-fitting, compressive, and supportive fit. As is known in the art, resilient fabrics provide more resistance to movement, and have a tendency to bounce or spring back to their relaxed shape. Such a tight fit is also insulating, which slows heat transfer, thereby keeping muscles warm to prevent strains and injury during workouts. Moreover, such a tight-fitting supportive fit can be critical for exercise purposes to prevent chaffing. These highly specialized design features for athletic undergarments, are however, uncomfortable and not desirable nor appropriate for young children.
Body shaping or slimming undergarments are also known in the art. For example, body shaping garments sold under the brand Spanx® are well known and worn by both men and women under outer garments to eliminate visible undergarment seam lines (e.g. so called “panty lines”) and to smooth out unwanted/undesired features of the wearer's body, such as cellulite or fat bulges. Like the athletic undergarments described above, body shaping undergarments utilize resilient fabrics that provide a tight, compressive, supportive fit that compresses and “shapes” the user's body into a desired aesthetic condition. Accordingly, body shaping undergarments also suffer from the same heat and comfort related drawbacks.
BRIEF SUMMARYIn accordance with a general implementation of the present invention, a modesty garment is provided which comprises: a fitted panty portion including a main panty body partially bounded by a left leg opening and a right leg opening, and a crotch portion disposed at a lower vertical edge of the main panty body and laterally centered between the left and right leg openings. The modesty garment further comprises right and left fitted leg bodies permanently affixed to and contiguous with the panty portion at a seam disposed at the right and left leg openings, respectively. The right and left leg bodies extend downward from the right and left leg openings respectively. The right and left leg bodies each have a lower end disposed below the crotch portion, such that the right and left fitted leg bodies at least partially cover the upper thighs of a user when worn.
In another aspect, the modesty garment may be an undergarment having a fitted panty portion bounded by an upper waist opening, a left leg opening and a right leg opening, and a crotch portion disposed at a lower vertical edge of the main panty body and laterally centered between the left and right leg openings. A right fitted leg body may be permanently affixed to and contiguous with the panty portion along a seam disposed at the right leg opening, the right leg body extending downward from the right leg opening. The right leg body may comprise a lower end, the lower end being disposed below the crotch portion such that the right fitted leg body at least partially covers a right upper thigh of a user when worn. A left fitted leg body may be permanently affixed to and contiguous with the panty portion along a seam disposed at the left leg opening, the left leg body extending downward from the left leg opening. The left fitted leg body may comprise a lower end, the lower end being disposed below the crotch portion such that the left fitted leg body at least partially covers a left upper thigh of a user when worn. The panty portion and the leg bodies may be made of substantially non-resilient to low-resilient fibers and or fabrics. The panty portion may be made of one of the group of a cotton and cotton-blend fabric.
In yet another aspect, the modesty garment may comprise: a fitted panty portion covering a wearer's pelvic region, the panty portion including a main panty body bounded by a left leg opening and a right leg opening, and a crotch portion disposed at a lower vertical edge of the main panty body and laterally centered between the left and right leg openings; a right fitted leg body permanently affixed to and contiguous with the panty portion along a seam disposed at the right leg opening, the right leg body extending downward from the right leg opening, the right leg body comprising a lower end that is disposed below the crotch portion such that the right fitted leg body at least partially covers a right upper thigh of a user when worn; and a left fitted leg body permanently affixed to and contiguous with the panty portion along a seam disposed at the left leg opening, the left leg body extending downward from the left leg opening, the left fitted leg body comprising a lower end, that is disposed below the crotch portion such that the left fitted leg body at least partially covers a left upper thigh of a user when worn; and a torso portion connected in a continuous manner with an upper end of the panty portion.

As shown in
Generally speaking, heretofore, young girls' garments, including both undergarments and over garments having upper-leg covering portions have not been designed with an eye toward creating comfortable, modest garments that can be worn by young girls. Instead, the known art is fraught with exercise shorts and pantyhose combination garments that necessarily incorporate structural and design features that are not conducive to the modesty needs of young girls. For example, exercise garments may provide very tight form-fitting leg portions intentionally designed to compress the legs and slow heat transfer from the upper legs during exercise. Additionally, exercise garments often utilize fabrics made of resilient fibers that provide a tight, compressive, supportive fit, having a tendency to resist movement primarily for providing support and insulation for the wearer. Such design features in the known art are neither desirable nor appropriate in a young girl's undergarment, which is preferably fitted but not too tight; more stretchable than resilient; utilizing a soft comfortable fabric, such as cotton; and providing moisture management, breathability, and removal of heat build-up. Other undergarments including upper-leg covering portions do not incorporate a crotch lining; place seams in undesirable locations on the panty, particularly in the crotch area; and/or do not provide an elastic interface at the leg openings. Moreover, children, and particularly young girls are often very reluctant to try new things, including clothing. This is particularly the case for tight fitting articles of clothing such as undergarments, bathing suits, and dance/gym wear that are designed to come in direct contact with the skin and/or genitals. As illustrated in embodiments depicted the Figures, the panty portions 100, 100a, 100b, 100c are specifically configured to provide a standard, familiar and comfortable fit, particularly in the crotch portion, that is substantially similar to traditional undergarments, bathing suits, and dance/gymnastics wear, respectively. Accordingly, children are more likely to accept and wear the garments described above in connection with the embodiments of the present invention as they provide a familiar feel when worn. The embodiments described in this specification do not incorporate unfamiliar or uncomfortable seams, for example, seams that extend vertically through the crotch area. The embodiments do not have a compressive, stretch fit making them hot and uncomfortable or that causes them to ride down during active use.
The above-described embodiments are merely exemplary illustrations of implementations set forth for a clear understanding of the principles of the invention. Many variations, combinations, modifications or equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiments disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include all the embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.
