Panty brief and a method of making same

Abstract

A panty brief consists wholly or partly of elastic textile material, preferably made by knitting or crocheting, and is formed as a flat, substantially rectangular bag which is closed along three marginal zones. The bag is open in the whole extension of one longitudinal edge to provide a waist opening at the non-connected marginal zones, and is provided with two leg openings. To produce such a panty brief, having inclined leg openings and a good fit, without any form of after-fashioning, inexpensively and by automatic machines, the leg openings are located opposite one another in the two side of the bag in a position between the marginal zone and the opposite marginal zone so that two of the interconnected marginal zones are placed in the front and the back of the panty brief, while the third is located in the crotch region of the panty brief between the leg openings.
