<p>An undergarment and a leotard-style exercise garment (10) which provide improved support for the enlarging abdomen during pregnancy. A relatively inelastic and vertically elongated back yoke panel (33) is centered over the wearer"s backbone, and serves as an anchor for lower trunk panels (12-15) which are highly elastic in a generally horizontal direction, and much less elastic, and hence supportive, in a generally vertical direction. The trunk panels (12-15) are expandable to accomodate the enlarging abdomen, while providing strong upward support for the abdomen and crotch area. </p> |
