Abstract: A garment made of a resilient material includes a waistband, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. The waistband forms an interior layer, an exterior layer, and an interstitial space from a single piece of folded fabric. Disposed within the interstitial space are an adhesive film and a perforated film. The adhesive and perforated films are used to join the interior and exterior layers, while also providing additional structure to the waistband. The adhesive and perforated films may be constructed from resilient materials and may be configured to resiliently expand while being bonded to the exterior and interior layers. The adhesive and perforated films cooperate with the interior and exterior panels of the waistband to cinch the garment bottom around the waist of the user without causing the skin of the user to fold over the top of the waistband.
