Abstract
The invention regards stockings or tights which are kept in place by a system resting on the hips and, therefore, do not oblige the wearer to suffer either pressure round the waist, caused by common elastic bands, nor a tight clasping around the thigh. The system resting on the hips (6, 7) allows an equal distribution of the force necessary to keep the stockings in place, which can therefore be worn for a long time since the wearer does not feel any discomfort on the abdomen or the thighs.
Claims8
A garment comprising two hose portions (4,5) each having a foot and leg portion and a hip engaging portion (6, 7), whereby said hip engaging portions (6, 7) extend over the wearer's hip and overlap each other for a part in front and rear by forming a substantially V-shaped top edge, wherein the hip engaging portion (6, 7) of each hose portion (4, 5) consists of a diagonal, relatively narrow band which starts from an upper end of the hose portion (4, 5) and rests only on an upper part of the opposite wearer's hip substantially on the respective hipbone, each said diagonal, relatively narrow band crossing in the abdominal region without encircling the wearer's waist.
Tights (1), an upper edge of which is V-shaped and rests on a wearer's hips, wherein a pant portion of the tights is provided with a V-shaped zone (3), said tights being made of an elastic material and said V-shaped zone being made of thicker elastic material compared to a remaining portion of the tights.
