Abstract:
1. A garment disposed about a centerline and having a front, a back, a left side and a right side, said garment comprising: a generally horizontally-extending channel formed in the garment to extend generally horizontally about the body of a user wearing the garment; a pair of generally vertically-extending channels, each extending over a respective shoulder of the garment-wearing user from the generally horizontal channel in the rear of the garment towards or into the generally horizontal channel in the front of the garment without crossing the centerline of the garment; and cords disposed in the channels in such a way that, when pulled and secured, cause the generally horizontal channel to be secured about the user's body and the generally vertical channels to exert a lightly sensed pressure against the user's shoulders that increases when the user slouches as a reminder to be more erect, at least one end of each cord being accessible to the user for pulling and securing via at least one opening in the garment.
