## Title
Body support and sculpting garment

## Abstract

A body support and sculpting garment including a garment having a front panel configured to cover a wearer's stomach and a wearer's hips, and a rear panel configured to cover a wearer's buttocks, a first support portion seamlessly disposed within the rear panel of the garment along a contour of the wearer's buttocks, and a substantially triangulated second support portion seamlessly disposed within the rear panel of the garment along a top side of the contour. The first support portion and the second support are double weave compression fabric and are configured to support a wearer's back and hips and sculpt a wearer's buttocks.

## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Various types of body supporting and body sculpting garments are known in the prior art. However, what has been needed is a body support and sculpting garment including a garment having a front panel configured to cover a wearer's stomach and a wearer's hips, and a rear panel configured to cover a wearer's buttocks. What has been further needed is a first support portion seamlessly disposed within the rear panel of the garment along a contour of the wearer's buttocks, and a substantially triangulated second support portion seamlessly disposed within the rear panel of the garment along a top side of the contour. Lastly, what has been needed is for the first support portion and the second support portion to be double weave compression fabric in order to both support a wearer's back and hips and sculpt a wearer's buttocks.
The contouring and lifting nature of the first support portion, the second support portion, and an optional third support portion provides a wearer with additional support to his back and hips. Although the body support and sculpting garment can be worn at any point throughout the day, the garment is particularly well suited for exercise in order to alleviate pain and pressure in the wearer's back and hips. The body support and sculpting garment can optionally be a pair of shorts, a pair of pants, and a skirt. The double weave compression fabric of the first support portion, the second support portion, and the optional third support portion can optionally be produced with three levels of varying thickness for a light, medium, and maximum level of support.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to body supporting and body sculpting garments, and more particularly, to a body support and sculpting garment.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The general purpose of the present body support and sculpting garment, described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a garment which has many novel features that result in a body support and sculpting garment which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by prior art, either alone or in combination thereof.
To accomplish this, the present body support and sculpting garment includes a garment, a first support portion, and a substantially triangulated second support portion. The garment is optionally one of a pair of pants, a pair of shorts, and a skirt. The garment has a front panel configured to cover a wearer's stomach and a wearer's hips, and a rear panel seamlessly joined to the front panel. Each of the front panel and the rear panel have a right end and a left end. The rear panel is configured to cover a wearer's buttocks. The first support portion is seamlessly disposed within the rear panel of the garment along a contour of the wearer's buttocks from a top right side of the contour to a top left side of the contour. The first support portion has a top right end and a top left end. The substantially triangulated second support portion is seamlessly disposed within the rear panel of the garment along a top side of the contour. The second support portion has an apex, a right edge, and a left edge. The right edge of the second support portion is joined to the top right end of the first support portion, and the left edge of the second support portion is joined to the top left end of the first support portion.
The first support portion and the second support portion are double weave compression fabric. The first support portion and the second support portion are configured to both support a wearer's back and the wearer's hips, and sculpt a wearer's buttocks.
The body support and sculpting garment optionally includes a third support portion seamlessly disposed within the front panel of the garment from the right end of the front panel to the left end of the front panel. The third support portion is continuously disposed atop the wearer's stomach from a wearer's right hip to a wearer's left hip. The third support portion is double weave compression fabric and is configured to sculpt the wearer's stomach and support the wearer's hips.
Thus has been broadly outlined the more important features of the present body support and sculpting garment so that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.
