Abstract

An embodiment configured according to principles of the invention includes a band constructed of a material, wherein the band has a configuration and the material is sufficiently elastic so that the band conforms to, but does not shape a region of a body that extends from below the body's navel to below the body's hips.

1 . Garment comprising:
 a band constructed of a material;   wherein said band has a configuration and said material has an elasticity so that said band conforms to, but does not constrain a region of a body that extends from below the body's navel to below the body's hips.   
   
   
       2 . Garment of  claim 1 , wherein the elasticity provides for accommodating, yet resuming said configuration following stretch occasioned by ordinary wear. 
   
   
       3 . Garment of  claim 1 , wherein said band is continuous. 
   
   
       4 . Garment of  claim 1 , wherein said band has an upper portion that tapers outwardly by 0-5 degrees. 
   
   
       5 . Garment of  claim 1 , further comprising non-slip material disposed on said band. 
   
   
       6 . Garment of  claim 1 , wherein said band has a lower portion with an opening that has a width that is 3-5% less than a hip measurement. 
   
   
       7 . Garment of  claim 1 , wherein said band has a lower portion that defines a radius configured to approximate an anatomical shape of human hips. 
   
   
       8 . Garment of  claim 7 , wherein:
 said lower portion has a dimension; and   said dimension and said radius are configured so that said garment remains smooth when worn.   
   
   
       9 . Garment of  claim 7 , wherein:
 said lower portion has an opening that defines a profile; and   one or more of said dimension, said radius, said profile are configured so that said garment covers an amount of the body's buttocks cleavage.   
   
   
       10 . Garment of  claim 7 , wherein:
 said lower portion has an opening that defines a profile; and   one or more of said dimension, said radius, said profile are configured so that said garment remains in place on the body regardless of reasonable body movements   
   
   
       11 . Garment of  claim 10 , wherein said garment does not pinch or bunch.
