A garment with two improved, underarm perspiration shields each including an inner comfort layer, at least one middle absorbent layer, and an outer water-proof barrier layer. The inner comfort layer is placed against the user's skin and designed to readily absorb perspiration from the skin and immediately transfer it to the middle absorbent layers. The middle absorbent layers draw the perspiration away from the comfort layer and dissipate the perspiration thereover. The outer barrier layer is located on the opposite side of the middle absorbent layers and designed to prevent perspiration from being transferred to the surround garment material. During manufacturing, the layers are aligned, registered, and sewn along their center axis to the garment's side seam. The outer edges of the layers are unattached thereby forming side flaps that are exposed to air and able to dry quickly. The upper edge of each shield may be contoured and sewn to the edge of the garments sleeve opening.
