Abstract
The appearance modifying garments include appearance enhancing color differences creating a new type of garment which promotes an improved appearance of the wearer through the formation of apparent marginal edges on the garment itself. The apparent marginal edges provide the outline of a shapely appearance and are formed by darkening areas of the garments so that they appear smaller or less noticeable to the eye when the garment is worn. The shapely portion stands out and the darker shaded portions are less noticeable and there is a distinct demarcation between the light area and the dark area so that the viewer's eye is drawn to the shapely portion of the garment.
