This application describes a garment (e.g. a swim suit) having a base layer of stretchable elasticated fabric, the base layer having a torso portion that covers at least a part of the torso of a person when the garment is worn. An inner core layer of stretchable elasticated fabric is bonded to the inner surface of the base layer to extend around the abdomen and lower back regions of the garment. By providing a double layer of stretchable elasticated fabric in this manner, more compression is applied to the abdomen of the person (e.g. swimmer) wearing the suit, bringing about improvements in form drag. The additional support provided to the lower back and abdomen also improves core stability, which is of benefit in many sporting activities, including swimming. |

A garment for a part of the body, and in particular a sport pant, includes an elasticity element, or a number of such elements, disposed on a portion of the garment, while another portion of the garment is free of elasticity elements. As a result, the garment can store energy by elastic elongation under a movement of, for example, a leg. This energy can then be released under a second movement of the leg in the opposite direction, resulting in the garment supporting the second movement of the leg. |

The appearance of the bathing suit can be changed by attaching the additional straps to various ones of the coupling elements on the bikini bottom. An extension is provided for the neck strap and makes further changes in appearance possible. Thus, while the neck strap itself is too short to be crossed, the extension enables crossing to be achieved. |

A bathing suit top includes inflatable bladders in each of the cup portions of the top to provide support for the breasts of the wearer. An air pump is secured to the inflatable portions of the bathing suit top to selectively fill the first and second breast support bladders with ambient air. The air pump is preferably positioned in the connecting portion of the bathing suit between the two cups such that the pump can be discretely hidden behind a small piece of fabric. When the air pump is depressed air is forced into the two air bladders in the bathing suit cups and the breast support bladders are simultaneously filled to the same level in order to provide the identical amount of support to both breasts. The breast support bladders are designed to include three peninsula shaped sections to enable the breast support bladder to conform to the shape of the individual wearers breasts. When air is forced into the breast support bladders the three sections of the bladder will fan outward to conform to the front and side portions of the breast to provide support to all of the portions of the breast. After the support air bladders have been inflated to their desired size a stopper is placed over the air intake valve to hold the desired amount of air in the bladders. |
