Abstract
Abstract Waist support and hip girdle having a trunk part of knitted elastic fabric made of synthetic fibers suitable for producing static electricity and of sufficiently open mesh construction to allow skin moisture to evaporate. The girdle has spaced parallel stiffeners at the back and adapted to be positioned parallel to the spinal column, one on each side thereof, when the girdle is worn. The girdle also includes a strong elastic band having ends secured at the back adjacent the stiffeners without overlapping the latter, and having front ends adapted to be fastened together to close the girdle.
