 a left end attached to a first attachment portion of said garment body; and 
 a right end attached to a second attachment portion of said garment body; 
   
     
     
         2 . The garment of  claim 1 , further comprising a strap casing attached to said garment body and enclosing said elastic strap. 
     
     
         3 . The garment of  claim 2 , wherein said strap casing comprises an interior casing and an exterior casing. 
     
     
         4 . The garment of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one vertical seam and a plurality of vertical segments defined by said at least one vertical seam. 
     
     
         5 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein said first attachment portion of said garment body is located at a point on said garment body corresponding to a medial point of a wearer's left scapula and said second attachment portion of said garment body is located at a point on said garment body corresponding to a medial point of a wearer's right scapula. 
     
     
         6 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein said first attachment portion of said garment body is located along a left arm seam on said garment body and said second attachment portion of said garment body is located along a right arm seam on said garment body. 
     
     
         7 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein a width of said elastic strap is variable to apply a desired amount of tension across said garment. 
     
     
         8 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein said elastic strap provides horizontal tension across said upper posterior portion of said garment body when said garment is worn. 
     
     
         9 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein said garment body comprises mesh material. 
     
     
         10 . A garment system for correcting posture, comprising:
 an outer garment; and   an inner garment attached to the inside of said outer garment, wherein said inner garment comprises an elastic strap attached to and extending horizontally across an upper posterior region of said inner garment.   
     
     
         11 . The garment system of  claim 10 , wherein said elastic strap provides horizontal tension across said inner garment when said system is worn. 
     
     
         12 . The garment system of  claim 10 , wherein said elastic strap comprises a plurality of vertical segments. 
     
     
         13 . The garment system of  claim 10 , wherein said outer garment comprises a first elasticity and said inner garment comprises a second elasticity. 
     
     
         14 . The garment system of  claim 13 , wherein said first elasticity is substantially equal to said second elasticity. 
     
     
         15 . A method for manufacturing the garment system of  claim 10 , said method comprising sewing said inner and said outer garments together. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising providing said inner garment having a first elasticity and providing said outer garment having a second elasticity. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising matching said first and second elasticities such that they are substantially equal. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said sewing step comprises attaching said inner garment to said outer garment along at least one seam of said outer garment. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said sewing step comprises attaching said inner garment to said outer garment at a first attachment portion near a neckline of said outer garment and at second attachment portion near a lower hem of said outer garment. 
     
     
         20 . The method  claim 19 , wherein said first attachment portion is located between 0.25 and 0.75 inches below said neckline of said outer garment and said second attachment portion is located between 0.25 and 0.75 inches above said lower hem of said outer garment.
