Abstract

A pants-like garment especially suitable for being worn while dancing, exercising or partaking in similar activities is described. The garment is form fitting in the buttocks and upper thigh areas but has no seams running along the crotch. An essentially curved diamond-shaped crotch piece with concave edges and long tapering sections which extend down the insides of the legs is sewn into the garment. The movement of a leg of a wearer of the garment which would otherwise cause the garment to ride up the crotch is transferred to the crotch piece in such a way that the force on the crotch piece in the area of the crotch is in the transverse direction, rather than in a direction along the crotch so that the garment therefore does not ride up the crotch. The elimination of seams on both the back and the front of the garment running along the crotch in the crotch direction, in addition to enhancing the comfort of the wearer, presents a more aesthetically pleasing appearance than is otherwise obtained, while the crotch piece itself allows room for the wearer without a loose or baggy appearance.
