Abstract

Making a control top garment includes forming a pocket bag from a first fused composite material and a second material, the first fused fabric composite having stretch and recovery properties in at least one direction thereof; and attaching the pocket bag to an garment by (i) attaching a top side of the pocket bag to a waistband of the garment; (ii) attaching a first side of the pocket bag to a side of the garment; and (iii) attaching a second side of the pocket bag adjacent a connector of the garment.

Claims (46)

1. A method for making a garment, the method comprising:

(A) forming a pocket bag from a first fused composite material and a second material, the first fused composite material having stretch and recovery properties in at least one direction thereof, wherein the second material comprises a second fused composite material having stretch and recovery properties in at least one direction thereof;

(B) attaching said pocket bag to the garment by (i) attaching a top edge portion of said pocket bag to a waistband of said garment; (ii) attaching a first side edge portion of said pocket bag to a side of said garment; and (iii) attaching a second side edge portion of said pocket bag adjacent a connector of said garment.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pocket bag is attached in (B) with a stretch direction of the first fused composite material being substantially parallel to the waistband of the garment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pocket bag is attached in (B) with a stretch direction of the first fused composite material being at an angle of between about 15° and 85° to the waistband of the garment.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the pocket bag is attached in (B) with a stretch direction of the first fused composite material being at an angle of between about 30° and 60° to the waistband of the garment.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the first fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in two directions thereof.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the second fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in two directions thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the waistband of said garment is a curved waistband.

8. A garment formed according to the method of claim 1 .

9. The garment of claim 8 wherein the garment comprises one of: trousers and a skirt.

10. The garment of claim 8 wherein the waistband of said garment is a curved waistband.

11. A method of forming a pocket bag for a garment, the method comprising:

forming said pocket bag from a first fused composite material and a second material, the first fused composite material having stretch and recovery properties in at least one direction thereof, wherein the second material comprises a second fused composite material having stretch and recovery properties in at least one direction thereof.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the first fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in two directions thereof.

13. The method of claim 11 wherein the second fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in two directions thereof.

14. A garment comprising:

a pocket bag formed from a first fused composite material and a second material, the first fused composite material having stretch and recovery properties in at least one direction thereof,

wherein the second material comprises a second fused composite material having stretch and recovery properties in at least one direction thereof,

wherein the pocket bag is attached to said garment by (i) attaching a top edge portion of said pocket bag to a waistband of said garment; (ii) attaching a first side edge portion of said pocket bag to a side of said garment; and (iii) attaching a second side edge portion of said pocket bag adjacent a connector of said garment.

15. The garment of claim 14 wherein the pocket bag is attached in (B) with a stretch direction of the first fused composite material being substantially parallel to the waistband of the garment.

16. The garment of claim 14 wherein the pocket bag is attached in (B) with a stretch direction of the first fused composite material being at an angle of between about 15° and 85° to the waistband of the garment.

17. The garment of claim 16 wherein the pocket bag is attached in (B) with a stretch direction of the first fused composite material being at an angle of between about 30° and 60° to the waistband of the garment.

18. The garment of claim 14 wherein the first fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in two directions thereof.

19. The garment of claim 14 wherein the second fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in two directions thereof.

20. The garment of claim 14 wherein the waistband of said garment is a curved waistband.

21. The method of claim 1 , wherein, on the pocket bag formed in (A),

the first fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in a first at least one direction, and

the second fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in a second at least one direction, and wherein

the first at least one direction is distinct from the second at least one direction.

22. The method of claim 21 , wherein the first at least one direction or the second at least one direction is substantially parallel to the waistband of the garment.

23. The garment of claim 8 , wherein, on the pocket bag,

the first fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in a first at least one direction, and

the second fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in a second at least one direction, and

wherein the first at least one direction is distinct from the second at least one direction.

24. The garment of claim 23 , wherein the first at least one direction or the second at least one direction is substantially parallel to a waistband of the garment.

25. The method of claim 11 , wherein, on the pocket bag,

the first fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in a first at least one direction, and

the second fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in a second at least one direction, and

wherein the first at least one direction is distinct from the second at least one direction.

26. The method of claim 25 , wherein the first at least one direction or the second at least one direction is substantially parallel to the waistband of the garment.

27. The garment of claim 14 , wherein, on the pocket bag,

the first fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in a first at least one direction, and

the second fused composite material has stretch and recovery properties in a second at least one direction, and

wherein the first at least one direction is distinct from the second at least one direction.

28. The garment of claim 27 , wherein the first at least one direction or the second at least one direction is substantially parallel to a waistband of the garment.
