Abstract: A garment includes a front panel and a back panel that each include an outer fabric layer and an inner fabric layer. The back panel is coupled to the front panel at first and second seams such that the respective inner surfaces of each of the respective inner fabric layers face each other. The back panel includes a torso portion of the back panel inner fabric layer and lacing extending across the centerline of the back panel configured to adjust a waist to hip ratio of a wearer. The torso portion of the back panel includes a right compressive panel formed from the compression layer material extending from the first seam towards a centerline; a left compressive panel formed from the compression layer material extending from the second seam towards the centerline; and lining material extending between the right compressive panel and the left compressive panel.

Abstract: A garment for shaping a form of its wearer includes a front panel and a back panel coupled to one another at first and second seams. The front panel comprises self-lining material in each of a bottom portion and a pectoral portion and compression layer material in a torso portion of the front panel. The back panel includes a first arcuate portion of compression layer material along the first seam and a second arcuate portion of compression layer material along the second seam. Lining material extends from an upper portion of the back panel to a bottom portion of the back panel and is coupled to the two arcuate portions such that the two arcuate portions are separated by the lining material. The compression layer material has a higher elastic modulus than a respective elastic modulus of the lining material.
