Patent number: 9717289Abstract: An article of swimwear for providing targeted compression areas includes inner and outer fabric layers that are bonded together with adhesive layers having different compressive strengths. For example, a first adhesive layer is disposed between first fabric portions of the inner and outer fabric layers. In addition, a second adhesive layer is disposed between second fabric portions of the inner and outer fabric layers. The first and second fabric portions may be laterally adjacent each other or spaced apart. The first adhesive layer provides a first compressive strength to the first fabric portions of the inner and outer fabrics when bonded there between, and the second adhesive layer provides a second compressive strength to the second fabric portions of the inner and outer fabrics when bonded there between. In certain implementations, the first compressive strength is greater than the second compressive strength.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Spanx, Inc.Inventors: Grace Fooden, Tosha Hays, John Nowell, Krysta Lin, Chad Lawrence
