A garment article, comprising:
- a fabric including a plurality of warp yarns and a plurality of weft yarns woven together in a pattern to provide over portions and under portions of the weft and warp yarns, the weft yarns including elastomeric yarns and said elastomeric yarns having a stretchable core and a sheath of inelastic fibers that covers said core,
- wherein an elasticity of the fabric in warp direction is at least 5% (measured according to ASTM D3107—Stretch, after 3 home washes) and elasticity of the fabric in weft direction is at least 15% (measured according to ASTM D3107—Stretch, after 3 home washes) and said fabric is bias cut;
- whereby the weft yarns in said garment article are angled with respect to a widthwise direction of said garment article,
