Abstract

A garment includes a front panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge. The garment further includes a back panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge, the back panel coupled to the front panel. A first limb portion extends from the front panel bottom edge and the back panel bottom edge to form a first limb opening, and a second limb portion extends from the front panel bottom edge and the back panel bottom edge to form a second limb opening. The front panel and the back panel are constructed from a first fabric, and the first limb portion and the second limb portion are constructed from a second fabric having a greater stretch characteristic than the first fabric, the second fabric including a seamless lower edge.
