Original Abstract Submitted
A self-stowing support garment for an upper-torso of a wearer. The garment features an integrally formed pocket on its back, which can be inverted or folded inside-out. The remaining portion of the garment is then pushed into the inverted pocket space. Some examples include a tunnel at the pocket opening with a drawcord for tightening. When stowed, the garment assumes the form of a small pouch, providing greater convenience and modesty compared to carrying the support garment openly.
