GARMENT WHICH CAN ACCOMMODATE A LARGE NUMBER OF WAIST SIZES AND WHICH IS HELD BY AN AUTOMATICALLY-ADJUSTABLE-LENGTH DRAWSTRING A garment has an automatically-adjustable-length drawstring with readily-flexible ends that can be tied to enable the garment to accommodate a large number of waist sizes; and that drawstring will automatically expand as the circumference of the wearer's waist increases during breathing in or movement of the wearer's body, and that drawstring will automatically contract as the circumference of the wearer's waist subsequently decreases during breathing out or movement of the wearer's body. In doing so, that drawstring will hold the waist of that garment against drooping relative to a user's waist. A resilient, extensible section between the readily-flexible ends of the drawstring will automatically and continuously maintain an effective, but lower-than-normal, value of frictional force between the waist of the garment and a wearer's waist. The drawstring is disposed within a tunnel at the waist of the garment; and the major portion of the length of that drawstring is free to move circumferentially relative to that tunnel. As a result, the waist of the garment can be free of undue "bunching" and "crinkling", even where it is worn by a person whose waist size is at the lower end of the range of waist sizes to be accommodated by that garment; and the only limit to the extent to which that resilient, extensible section can be extended is the comfort level desired by the wearer for his or her waist. |
