Body perception changing baffles and baffle construction

Abstract

Systems or methods for anatomy adjusting a garment are provided. Anatomy adjusting is any deliberate manipulation of a garment's seams, pockets, edges, baffles, thicknesses, construction, and/or other construction lines and/or details in order to change the perceived shape of a wearer of the garment toward a desired appearance. Additionally, the garments that result from use of these systems and methods for anatomy adjusting are also provided.

         2 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the first anatomical area is a chest region and the second anatomical area is a waist region. 
     
     
         3 . The garment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a thickness of at least two different baffles of the first set of baffles is anatomy adjusted by varying an amount of stuffing in the at least two different baffles.   
     
     
         4 . The garment of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a thickness of at least two different baffles of the first set of baffles is anatomy adjusted by varying a composition of the stuffing in the at least two different baffles.   
     
     
         5 . The garment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a thickness of at least two different baffles of the first set of baffles is anatomy adjusted by varying a composition of the stuffing in the at least two different baffles.   
     
     
         6 . The garment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a third set of baffles positioned over a third anatomical area of the wearer,   wherein at least one baffle edge of the third set of baffles are anatomy adjusted to change an appearance of the third anatomical area of the wearer.   
     
     
         7 . The garment of  claim 6 , wherein the third anatomical area is a shoulder region or an upper back region. 
     
     
         8 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein two baffle edges of the at least two baffle edges of the first set of baffles are anatomy adjusted to create an S-shape to change the appearance of the first anatomical area of the wearer, wherein the first anatomical area is the chest region. 
     
     
         9 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the appearance of the first anatomical area of the wearer is anatomy adjusted to make the wearer of the garment appear more attractive utilizing rules of perspective. 
     
     
         10 . A garment with body enhancing baffles, the garment comprising:
 a first set of baffles positioned over a first anatomical area of a wearer; and   at least four baffles of the first set of baffles are anatomy adjusted utilizing the rules of perspective to change an appearance of the first anatomical area of the wearer.   
     
     
         11 . The garment of  claim 10 , wherein the at least four baffle of the first set of baffles are anatomy adjusted utilizing the rules of perspective to change an appearance of the first anatomical area of the wearer by curving at least one edge on each of the at least four baffles. 
     
     
         12 . The garment of  claim 10 , wherein the at least four baffle of the first set of baffles are anatomy adjusted utilizing the rules of perspective to change an appearance of the first anatomical area of the wearer by changing a size of the at least four baffles. 
     
     
         13 . The garment of  claim 10 , wherein the at least four baffle of the first set of baffles are anatomy adjusted utilizing the rules of perspective to change an appearance of the first anatomical area of the wearer by curving at least one edge on each of the at least four baffles and by applying a color block to at least four other baffles. 
     
     
         14 . The garment of  claim 13 , wherein the at least four baffle of the first set of baffles are anatomy adjusted utilizing the rules of perspective to change an appearance of the first anatomical area of the wearer by adjusting the thickness of the at least four baffles. 
     
     
         15 . The garment of  claim 10 , wherein at least two edges of the at least four baffle of the first set of baffles are anatomy adjusted to create an S-shape to change the appearance of the first anatomical area of the wearer, wherein the first anatomical area is a bust region. 
     
     
         16 . The garment of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a zipper located down a center front of the garment,   wherein the first set of baffles end at the zipper, and   a second set of baffles that are mirror images of the first set of baffles in the first anatomical area are located across the zipper from the first set of baffles.   
     
     
         17 . A method for designing a body-enhancing garment that utilizes baffles, the method comprising:
 identifying a desired 3-D body shape;   covert the desired 3-D body shape into a 2-D depth map;   identifying baffles for a flat garment;   position the baffles on the 2-D depth map of the garment;   adjusting the baffles as positioned on the 2-D depth map to create adjusted baffles;   creating a 2-D image of the adjusted baffles; and   creating the garment based on the 2-D image of the adjusted baffles to form the body-enhancing garment.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the adjusted baffles include at least one of curved edges, angled edges, a change in size, a change in position, color blocking, a change in shape, or a change in thickness. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the adjusted baffles include at least four baffle edges that are curved to change the appearance of the wearer towards the desired 3-D body shape. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the creating the 2-D image of the adjusted baffles is performed utilizing perspective projection.
