Abstract: The present invention is directed to a shapewear garment, a shapewear garment system, and methods of manufacture thereof. The shapewear garments are configured to provide various levels of compression on the body of a wearer for shaping desired areas of the wearer's body. In an exemplary embodiment, the shapewear garment system is formed of two shapewear garments, with one of the shapewear garments being applied on the body of the wearer first for conditioning the body of the wearer to receive the other of the shapewear garments over the one shapewear garment in overlapping relationship thereof.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to shapewear having an opening system that allows the wearer to urinate and/or defecate with ease and without requiring removal of the shapewear. In another aspect, the present disclosure relates to shapewear having a boning system with removable bone. In yet another aspect, the present disclosure relates to shapewear having the opening system in combination with the boning system according to the present disclosure.

Abstract: A composite material for garments, such as shapewear and sportswear garments, is formed of an outer layer that is highly elastic with high compression and an inner layer provided on the outer layer and made of a material that is elastic, waterproof and oil proof. The outer layer is a fabric base fabricated from a blend of polyester and spandex. The inner layer comprises a coating of polyurethane (PU) containing nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2). When used to fabricate a garment, the inner layer of the composite material is adjacent to the body of the wearer when the garment is worn such that perspiration from the wearer's skin and/or skin contact products, such as oil/water based body creams and gels, applied to the wearer's skin are not absorbed by the inner layer and are thereby prevented by the inner layer from being transmitted to the fabric base.
