Abstract: This disclosure teaches pantyhose wherein a panty portion is made of a resilient stretchable fabric (such as one made of a blend of nylon elastomeric fibers) enclosing a wearer's lower torso and is provided with a conventional elastic waist encircling band. The panty portion includes a rear panty portion which covers and confines the wearer's buttocks. The pantyhose also define a crotch zone between leg portions. An elastic shaping band is attached to the rear panty portion and is connected from the vicinity of the crotch zone to the vicinity of the waist band and fits between the wearer's buttocks to delineate the wearer's derriere in cheeky relief.

Abstract: A brassiere has a body engaging band which extends across the wearer's chest under her breasts and terminates in two ends each under one arm of the wearer. Two cups are connected to the body engaging band and each cup is adapted to receive one of the wearer's breasts. Each of the cups terminates in an upper end which connects with at least two shoulder cords extendable over one shoulder of the wearer to connect to an end of the body engaging band. The ends of the body engaging band are connected to each other by a closure cord which preferably extends across the wearer's back. In an alternate brassiere for backless dresses, two closure cords are provided and each connects to one of the ends of the body engaging band and wraps around the wearer's waist so as to be connectable to each other at the wearer's front.
