Abstract: A garment pouch for retaining and concealing small personal valuables. One or more concealed hemline pockets are provided in an undergarment shirt or blouse, the upper edges of which preferably lie adjacent the hemline. The closure for the pocket, which is co-extensive with stitching above the selvage and the lower edge of the pocket, comprises the selvage itself. The closure or closures for the pockets are in-line with the hem stitching line, defining a continuity thereof. If one closure is provided, it may function to close two or more adjacent pockets or pouches in the hem, the pockets being devisable from each other by vertical stitching from hemline to selvage. The pockets may be made easily accessible from either the exterior or interior of the garment and may also be adapted to sportswear having the undergarment as an integral part of the whole, for example, as in golf skirts, tennis and swimwear having outerskirt and inner pants.

Abstract: A garment pouch for retaining and concealing small personal valuables. One or more concealed hemline pockets are provided in a pouch formed upon an undergarment skirt, blouse or slip. The pockets are in-line with each other and are disposed above the hem of the garment, the pockets being formed of one or more laminates which are sealed at the top and bottom and secured to the exterior or interior of the skirt, blouse or slip, the laminates forming anchors for elements of an elongate pouch closure such as a zipper or other closure elements. Pockets are divisible from each other by vertical stitching from hemline to selvage. Each of the pockets may be easily accessible from the exterior or interior of the garment and may also be adapted to sportswear having the undergarment as an integral part of the whole, for example, as in golf skirts, tennis shorts and skirts and swimwear, having outer and inner pants.
