Sheer Shorts Light Permeable Swimwear Garments

Abstract

Light permeable poolside attire that allows sunlight to channel through the fabric. Sheer shorts and sheer jersey are constructed from a light permeable fabric woven with tiny passages through which light is channeled through the fabric. At least some of the light channeled through the fabric is diffused, thus obscuring the object, or person, behind the light permeable fabric.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A light permeable garment, further comprising:
 a waist opening;   at least two appendage openings;   at least two hems, each of the at least two hems being associate with a respective one of the at least two appendage openings, wherein the at least two hems each comprise at least two plies; and   garment fabric comprising an outside surface and an inside surface, said garment fabric being disposed between the waist opening and the at least two appendage openings, said garment fabric comprising light permeable fabric that, upon exposure to incident light hitting the outside surface, channels at least some of the incident light through the light permeable fabric as emitted light coming out the inside surface; and   wherein at least some of the emitted light is diffused, at least partially obscuring an object adjacent the inside surface of the garment fabric.   
     
     
         2 . The light permeable garment of  claim 1 , wherein said at least two plies consist of no more than two plies. 
     
     
         3 . The light permeable garment of  claim 2 , wherein the light permeable fabric has a light permeability ratio of at least 30% but no more than 90%. 
     
     
         4 . The light permeable garment of  claim 3 ,
 wherein the light permeability ratio is at least 40% but no more than 80%; and   wherein the light permeability ratio is calculated using:   
       
         
           
             
               
                 L 
                 F 
               
               
                 L 
                 S 
               
             
           
         
         wherein L S  is the incident light hitting the outside surface and L F  is the emitted light coming out the inside surface. 
       
     
     
         5 . The light permeable garment of  claim 4 , wherein the light permeable fabric is a multilayer woven fabric. 
     
     
         6 . The light permeable garment of  claim 5 , wherein all of the emitted light passing through multiple layers of the multilayer woven fabric is diffused. 
     
     
         7 . The light permeable garment of  claim 3 , wherein the light permeable fabric is a jersey like fabric. 
     
     
         8 . The light permeable garment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a waistband that circumscribes the waist opening;   wherein the at least two appendage openings are leg openings;   wherein the light permeable garment are sheer shorts; and   wherein the light permeable garment is a pair of sheer shorts.   
     
     
         9 . The light permeable garment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a neck opening; and   a bottom edge that circumscribes the waist opening;   wherein the at least two appendage openings are arm openings;   wherein the light permeable garment is a sheer jersey; and   wherein the light permeable garment is a sheer jersey.   
     
     
         10 . A light permeable garment of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 one or more fabric fasteners.   
     
     
         11 . A method of making a light permeable garment, the method further comprising:
 selecting a clothing style for the light permeable garment with at least two appendage openings;   selecting a type and size of weave for garment fabric   selecting a clothing size and providing a waist opening based on the clothing size;   selecting a type and thickness of fibers for the garment fabric, said garment fabric being disposed between the waist opening and the at least two appendage openings and comprising an outside surface and an inside surface,   cutting pieces for the clothing style selected; and   sewing the pieces together and sewing at least two hems on the pieces, each of the at least two hems being associate with a respective one of the at least two appendage openings, wherein the at least two hems each comprise at least two plies;   wherein said garment fabric is made from light permeable fabric that, upon exposure to incident light hitting the outside surface, channels at least some of the incident light through the light permeable fabric as emitted light coming out the inside surface; and   wherein the light permeable fabric is characterized by a light permeability ratio of at least 30% but no more than 90%.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the light permeability ratio is at least 40% but no more than 80%; and   wherein the light permeability ratio is calculated using:   
       
         
           
             
               
                 L 
                 F 
               
               
                 L 
                 S 
               
             
           
         
         wherein L S  is the incident light hitting the outside surface and L F  is the emitted light coming out the inside surface. 
       
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 ,
 wherein the light permeable fabric is a multilayer woven fabric; and   wherein all of the emitted light passing through multiple layers of the multilayer woven fabric is diffused.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the light permeable fabric is a jersey like fabric. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein said at least two plies consist of no more than two plies.
