Abstract: The garments disclosed herein have integrated gripping technology to grip the body of the wearer over large interior surfaces. The distribution of gripping technology throughout the garment gives increased freedom of body movement and reduces bulkiness over conventional garments, while also allowing for free cut edges. Furthermore, the dispersion of the gripping technology over the majority of the garment eliminates the problem of polymer strips and beading digging into the skin. Slip garment embodiments are disclosed herein that include a lower region having an interior surface with exposed elastic threads configured to directly contact the wearer. The slip garment embodiments include a free-cut lower edge. The slip garment embodiments can be constructed using cut and sew methods.

Abstract: Shapewear can be used to enhance the appearance of a wearer's buttocks. Typical buttock-enhancing garments include construction that is visible from the exterior and do not provide a natural shape. The garment disclosed herein has an exterior smoothing layer covering an interior construction. The interior construction includes an inner pocket layer and an outer pocket layer attached to an inner garment layer, thus suspending the pockets in the interior of the garment. Pads can be placed in the pockets. The pads and the interior pocket construction provides natural shape to the wearer without compression or bulk.
