To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL'KOIS, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and JState of New York, have invented an Improvcment in Apparel Corsets, of which the following is a specification. p This invention relates toan apparel corset and more particularly to a garment so con structed as to permitthe body of the wearer to, present an uncorseted appearance in conformity with the style or ,fashion prevailing I atthepresent time.v The invention more es- .pecially relates to a garment so constructed as toconform to-theabdominal section of the body of the wearer and at the same time to permit the body to assume a naturalposition while; providing more or-;less support for the body. 1

' In carrying out the invention, the garment made in accordance therewith is constructed without straps or. belts or other tension or adjusting devices. which heretofore have been more or less commonly employed, and the front portions of the garment are so shaped as to conform to the body of the wearer and are preferably provided with relatively few stays, whilethe sides and back portions of the garment are fitted with stays in the usual manner to both shape the garment and provide support for the underlying portions of the body. In each front portion of the garment there is also provided extending from the upper edge of the garment to a point approximately midway of the front steels whereby-the necessary yielding effect is produced in the garment to permit the underlying portions of the body, of the wearer to assume a natural position and at the same time to be afforded more or less support.

In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of acorset garment made'in accordance with my pres ent invention, and

Fig. 2 is an elevation on an showing the front members the garment.

Referring particularly to the drawing the corset garment made in accordance with this invention comprises front steel sections 10 and 11, the former of which is fitted with a series of spaced studs 12 and the latter enlarged scale of one partof a yielding gore member preferably V-shaped with a corresponding number of sockets 13.

forming clasps bywhich the frontedges of the garment are connected. for use. The front steel sections also include depending extensions indicated at 1 1 and 15 respective ly and below the endsof the front steels these extensions may be provided with a hook 16 for connecting the oneto the other. Also as "illustrated, these depending exten sions of the front steel members may be provided with series of eyelets 17 and 18 through which a=lace 19 is threaded to further connect "and adjust the lower or skirt portions of the garment to body of the wearer. V

. Each-front portion of thegarment comprises sections 20 and-21 of relatively great width, the former of which is conneoted to the front steel section, and thelatter to the :body ofthe garment, while'these sections are connected to one another with an'intermediate stay pocket 22 in which stay members 23 are inserted. These: front sections-20- and position on the 21 are so shaped as tonmake the garment conform to the body of the wearer without/the additional use of straps or adjusting or other tension devices.

In the upper'portion of the garment I employ a V-shaped gore member 24 which is preferably made of yielding fabric or- 3 other similar and suitable material. This V-shaped gore member 24 extends from the upper edge of the'garment to a reinforcing strip 25 at the upper edge'of the front section 20, and at its forward edge is connected to the front steel section by a line of stitching 26 and at its opposite edge to thesta-y pocket 22 by a line of stitching 27. The front steel section also extends an appreciab-le distance above the upper ends of the.

front steels as indicated at 28 and this upper extension may be provided with suitable clasps 29 bywhichthe corresponding partof the other side of the garment may be connected thereto.

The lowerportion of thegarment'forms a depending skirt as indicated at 30 andthe garment may be fitted with suitable hose supporters 31 and 32, the former being connected to the end of the lower extension of the front steel section and the latter to the lower edge of the garment at the extremity of the stay pocket 22 or at the seam connecting the sections 21 and 22. In this form of gar- I ment I also provide tension straps 33 in the lower edge of the garment which are so placed therein .as to overlie the cut away sections Set at the lower side edges of the skirts. It will be noted from the drawing that in the front sections of the garment the customary stays are omitted, only one stay being eniployed, while at the rear of the garment the usual number of stays 01' supports are employed. Furthermore, this garment may be constructed in :halves as is customary in certain types of corset, or the back may be closed :as is the case inother types of corset. In the use of the garment it will now be apparent that when in place on the body of the wearer :the abdominal section will be permitted :to assume a natural position and at the same time more or'iless support will be afforded thereto and also to the busts, whereas the usual support is provided in thelsides vand back of'the garment.
