Abstract: Garments, including panty garments and hose. Each garment includes support structure comprising twin, diagonally inclined halves forming stress vectors directed between the hips and pelvic region of the wearer. The panty garment may include lower leg portions separated by a lower crotch panel. The intermediate portions of the waistband halves ride over the iliac crest on opposite sides of the wearer, forming a first anchor point. Extreme ends of the support structure halves preferably converge at the front and rear of the crotch panel, passing over the abdomen and lower back regions, thus forming a second anchor point at the pelvic region.
