Abstract
Disclosed is a two part device for the use of shaping and styling garments such as t-shirts. The bottom device is a solid plastic unit which is rigid on the outside edge and gets thinner towards the inside of the unit forming the plurality of members which, because of the thinness of the plastic, the members become flexible. The inner plurality of integrally formed flexible inner members are spaced apart with an opening that allows the garment fabric to be pulled through and held securely in place. The top device, a solid unit made of elastomeric plastic, fits over top of the bottom device and snaps in place to hide the garment fabric and add style to the garment. The top device is not needed to hold the garment fabric in place but rather is used as a decorative unit to add style to the garment.
Claims19
A garment shaping device comprising:
- a removable base device having an outside perimeter and an interior surface defining an opening, the opening including a center, the outside perimeter being thicker than the interior surface;
- a plurality of resilient members integrally formed with the base device and extending from the interior surface toward the center of the opening so that a portion of fabric of a garment selectively placed behind the removable base device pulled through the opening is secured therein by the plurality of resilient members to cinch the fabric around an individual wearing the garment;
- and
- a cover device comprising a top surface having a lip forming a curved perimeter attachable to the outside perimeter of the base device to conceal the cinched fabric pulled through the opening of the base device wherein the curved perimeter of the top surface securely fits over and under the outside perimeter of the base device.
A garment shaping device comprising:
- a removable base device having an outside perimeter and an interior surface defining an opening, the opening including a center, the outside perimeter being thicker than the interior surface wherein the interior surface tapers in thickness toward the center;
- a plurality of resilient members integrally formed with the base device and extending from the interior surface toward the center of the opening so that a portion of fabric of a garment, selectively placed behind the base device and pulled through the opening, is secured in the opening by the plurality of resilient members to cinch the fabric around an individual wearing the garment for a shaping effect;
- and
- a cover device comprising a top surface having a curved perimeter which fits over and under and encloses the outside perimeter of the base device to conceal the cinched fabric pulled through the opening of the base device.

- and
- a cover device removably and selectively attachable to the base device, the cover device comprising a top surface having a curved perimeter being curved inward toward an underside of the top surface and which fits over and under and encloses the outside perimeter of the base device to conceal the cinched fabric pulled through the opening of the base device.
