Spandex abdominal-lifting corset

Abstract

The spandex abdominal-lifting corset is a clothing garment designed to give an attractive shape to the body by constricting the waist and lower abdomen while worn. This invention varies from other waist trainers in its ability to lift the buttocks and flatten the upper pubic area and stomach. The corset consists of two nearly independent articles connected by a common attachment to the frontal lacing: the main abdominal article and the waist belt. The main abdominal article is held up by two slim shoulder straps and rests primarily from slightly above the waist to the pubic region. The aptly named waist belt rests on the waist. The frontal lacing may be tightened or loosed to the wearer's liking and is tied at the top.

 a laced corset extending to a lower abdominal portion to an upper abdominal portion and having a complementary attaching material disposed on an outer surface thereof;   a set of two adjustable shoulder straps attached to a front side and to a back side of the upper abdominal area; and   a waist belt configured concentric with a portion of the laced corset and having an attaching material disposed on an inner surface thereof complementary to the attaching material of the laced corset.
