What is claimed is: 1. A garment with a seat area, a waist area and a crotch area, the garment comprising: a rear portion defining the seat area and part of the waist area and being bounded at the bottom by the crotch area; a front portion connected to the rear portion and defining part of the waist area and being bounded at the bottom by the crotch area; and an elastic panel assembly connected to the rear portion at least at the waist area and the crotch area, the panel assembly covering an inner surface of the rear portion over the seat area and comprising two sets of plural substantially vertical seams spaced symmetrically on opposite sides of a vertical center axis of the rear portion thereby defining at least two vertical elastic upper panels on each side of the center axis that are connected to the waist area, and at least one elastic lower panel being connected to the crotch area. 2. A garment according to claim 1, wherein the rear and front portions are connected to each other at a pair of opposite side seams, the elastic panel assembly having opposite side edges connected to the respective opposite side seams and a pair of lower edges on opposite sides of the center axis that are free and are not connected to the rear portion of the garment on either side of the crotch area. 3. A garment according to claim 1, wherein each set of substantially vertical seams contains two seams. 4. A garment according to claim 3, wherein each substantially vertical seam is curved and the seams in each set are curved in the same direction and opposite to a direction of curvature of the seams of the set on the opposite side of the center axis. 5. A garment according to claim 4, wherein the two curved seams in each set diverge from each other in a direction away from the waist area. 6. A garment according to claim 3, wherein each substantially vertical seam is curved and the seams in each set are curved in opposite directions. 7. A garment according to claim 1, wherein the panel assembly includes at least one lower and substantially horizontal elastic panel connected by at least one substantially horizontal seam to a lower end of at least one of the vertical elastic upper panels. 8. A garment according to claim 7, wherein the rear and front portions are connected to each other at a pair of opposite side seams, the elastic panel assembly having opposite side edges connected to the respective opposite side seams and a pair of lower edges on opposite sides of the center axis that are free and are not connected to the rear portion of the garment, the substantially horizontal elastic panel and substantially horizontal seam being on opposite sides of the elastic lower panel connected to the crotch area. 9. A garment according to claim 1, wherein the at least one lower panel is connected to at least one of the vertical elastic upper panels on each side of the center axis at a substantially horizontal seam. 10. A garment according to claim 1, wherein the elastic panel assembly further comprises two sets of plural substantially vertical lower seams spaced symmetrically on opposite sides of a vertical center axis of the rear portion for defining at least two vertical elastic lower panels on each side of the center axis that are connected to, and extend below the vertical elastic upper panels on opposite sides of the elastic lower panel connected to the crotch area. 11. A garment according to claim 1, further comprising a front elastic panel assembly connected to the rear elastic panel assembly at opposite side seams of the garment and extending over at least part of an inner surface of the front portion of the garment, the side seams connecting the rear and front portions to each other. 12. A garment according to claim 11, wherein the front elastic panel assembly has a pair of lower edges on opposite sides of a vertical center axis that are free and are not connected to the front portion of the garment. 13. A garment according to claim 11, wherein the front elastic panel assembly comprises two sets of plural transverse seams arranged symmetrically on opposite sides of a vertical center axis of the front portion and meeting a center panel for defining a plurality of panels on each side of the center panel, wherein the center panel has less elasticity than the outer panels. 14. A garment according to claim 13, further comprising one vertical seam on opposite sides of a vertical center axis beneath said center panel for defining at least one additional lower panel, wherein at least one lower and substantially horizontal elastic panel is arranged beneath said additional lower panel. 15. A garment according to claim 11, wherein the front elastic panel assembly comprises transverse seams arranged symmetrically on opposite sides of a vertical center axis of the front portion and converging at a vertical center axis to form a V-shaped panel. 16. A garment according to claim 11, wherein the front elastic panel assembly comprises one or more substantially vertical seams spaced symmetrically on opposite sides of a vertical center axis of the front portion for defining one or more vertical elastic panels on each side of the center axis. 17. A garment according to claim 16, wherein the front elastic panel assembly further comprises at least one upper and substantially horizontal elastic panel connected by at least one substantially horizontal seam to an upper end of at least one of the vertical panels or a panel between the vertical panels. 18. A garment according to claim 11, wherein the front elastic panel assembly comprises at least one lower and transverse elastic panel on each side of a vertical center axis. 19. A garment according to claim 11, wherein the front elastic panel assembly comprises at least one lower and substantially horizontal elastic panel on each side of a vertical center axis. 20. A garment according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the rear and front portions are at least partly made of stretch denim material. 21. A garment according to claim 1, including a front elastic panel assembly connected to the rear elastic panel assembly at opposite sides of the garment and extending over at least part of an inner surface of the front portion of the garment, the front portion having a central fastener area and the front elastic panel being connected to the front portion on opposite sides of the central fastener area. 22. A garment according to claim 1, wherein each panel of the panel assembly is made of stretch fabric which stretches horizontally and vertically. 23. A garment according to claim 22, wherein the stretch fabric of at least some of the panels of the panel assembly stretch more horizontally than vertically for applying a lifting effect to the seat area of the garment.
