  • Patent number: 9504284
    Abstract: A versatile women's shapewear garment functions as a skirt, dress or skirt extension, and dress. A tubular main portion has an open top and bottom and a seamless dimension of elongation (at least thirteen inches) between the top and bottom and a diameter sufficient to receive a human wearer's torso. It has sufficient elastic material (at least about 4% spandex) so as to smooth and control the wearer's body. The main portion is narrowed to a bandless compression portion adjacent the top; it may have the same amount of spandex as, or more than, the rest of the main portion. A tubular decorative fabric band is attached by serging to the main portion adjacent its bottom and has a width such that it extends a significant distance past the bottom. The decorative band may be ruffles or a smooth colorful band.
