  • Patent number: 5699559
    Abstract: A shapesuit comprises a body formed by sewing together a front body and a back body; and at least a pair of stretchable straps extended diagonally and substantially in an X-shape on and sewn to either the front body or the back body so that the middle portions thereof intersect each other. When the front body is provided with the stretchable straps in an X-shaped arrangement, the stretchable straps lift superfluous flesh on the waist toward the middle of the wearer's body, and flattens the stomach and the waist by their elasticities. When the back body is provided with the stretchable straps in an X-shaped arrangement, the stretchable back straps lift superfluous flesh on opposite sides of the buttocks toward the middle of the wearer's body so that the width across the hips is reduced and the middle between the hips bulges out backward, pull the shoulders backward so that the spine is straightened to correct the posture. Thus, the shapesuit shapes up the body form.
