1. An undergarment, comprising:
a front area;
a buttock area opposite the front area;
a front leg portion attached to the front area; and
a back leg portion attached to the buttock area, the back leg portion having a top end and a bottom end, the back leg portion attached to the front leg portion along an inner leg seam and an outer leg seam,
wherein the back leg portion comprises a first section and a second section, the first section comprising a first elastic weave toward the top end of the back leg portion, and the second section of the back leg portion comprising a second elastic weave toward the bottom end of the back leg portion, the first elastic weave having more layers of elastic thread than the second elastic weave.
2. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein the first elastic weave gradually transitions to the second elastic weave.
3. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein the first elastic weave and the second elastic weave are configured to provide a greater compression toward the top end of the back leg portion and to provide a gradually lower compression towards the bottom end of the back leg portion.
4. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein the first elastic weave and the second elastic weave form a diagonal elastic band that is positioned at the back leg portion of the undergarment and extends diagonally from the outer leg seam to the inner leg seam.
5. The undergarment of claim 4 , wherein the diagonal elastic band is approximately 3 to 4 inches in width.
6. The undergarment of claim 4 , wherein the diagonal elastic band is attached to the outer leg seam approximately between 1 to 3 inches below a top end of the outer leg seam.
7. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein the first elastic weave and the second elastic weave form a horizontal elastic band that is positioned at the back leg portion of the undergarment and extends from the inner leg seam to the outer leg seam.
8. The undergarment of claim 7 , wherein the horizontal elastic band is approximately 3 to 4 inches in width.
9. The undergarment of claim 7 , wherein a top of the horizontal elastic band is positioned to rest approximately ¼ to ½ inch below buttocks of a user when the undergarment is worn by the user.
10. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein the back leg portion provides substantially more compression compared to the front leg portion.
11. An undergarment, comprising:
a front area;
a buttock area opposite the front area;
a front leg portion attached to the front area;
a back leg portion attached to the buttock area, the back leg portion attached to the front leg portion along an inner leg seam and an outer leg seam; and
a compression fabric panel positioned at the back leg portion of the undergarment, the compression fabric panel providing substantially more compression at the back leg portion compared to the front leg portion.
12. The undergarment of claim 11 , further comprising a horizontal elastic band positioned at the back leg portion of the undergarment, the horizontal elastic band extending from the inner leg seam to the outer leg seam.
13. The undergarment of claim 12 , wherein a top of the horizontal elastic band is positioned to rest approximately ¼ to ½ inch below buttocks of a user when the undergarment is worn by the user.
14. The sculpting undergarment of claim 12 , wherein the horizontal elastic band is approximately 3 to 4 inches in width.
15. The sculpting undergarment of claim 12 , wherein the horizontal elastic band is positioned in the sculpting undergarment such that when a user wears the sculpting undergarment, the horizontal elastic band rests on a thigh of the user.
16. The sculpting undergarment of claim 15 , wherein the compression fabric panel is positioned relative to the horizontal elastic band such that the compression fabric panel engages a part of the flesh shifted by the horizontal elastic band and redistributes a part of the flesh.
17. The sculpting undergarment of claim 12 , wherein the horizontal elastic band is located on the inner side of the undergarment, and at least a portion of the compression fabric panel overlaps the horizontal elastic band.
18. The sculpting undergarment of claim 12 , wherein the horizontal elastic band extends across the compression fabric panel.
19. The sculpting undergarment of claim 11 , wherein the compression fabric panel is sewn into the back leg portion.
20. The sculpting undergarment of claim 11 , wherein the compression fabric panel comprises a top edge having a shape that follows a curve of buttocks of a user.
