Upper-body garment assemblies with integrated waistband positioning systems. In some embodiments, the waistband positioning system is configured to maintain pants, skirts, leggings, tights, stockings, etc. in proper position against the forces of gravity. In some embodiments, the garment assembly includes at least one panel integrated with the waistband positioning system and configured to support another article of clothing and at least partially absorb and/or distribute the forces associated with supporting the other. The garment assembly may be any suitable type of top, shirt, brassiere, camisole, tank top, athletic top, or any other desired article of clothing having a panel with integrated waistband positioning system. In some embodiments, the waistband positioning system has one or more inner panels or areas configured to move independently from the outer layer of the garment assembly to support the weight of another article of clothing.

1. An upper-body garment assembly comprising: (a) an outer layer and an inner layer forming a channel positioned along a side of the upper-body garment assembly, wherein the outer layer is one of a brassiere, a camisole, a shirt, a sports bra, a tank top, or an athletic top; and(b) a waistband posit
1. An upper-body garment assembly comprising: (a) an outer layer and an inner layer forming a channel positioned along a side of the upper-body garment assembly, wherein the outer layer is one of a brassiere, a camisole, a shirt, a sports bra, a tank top, or an athletic top; and(b) a waistband positioning system positioned within the channel, the waistband positioning system comprising at least one shoulder portion, a distal end with a fastener connectable to an article, and an independent edge disposed opposite the distal end and within the channel, wherein the independent edge is not attached to the outer layer and is permitted to move independently of the outer layer;wherein the outer layer substantially covers the inner layer and is secured to the inner layer;wherein the waistband positioning system is configured to counteract forces of gravity acting on the article; and wherein the waistband positioning system distributes the forces of gravity in at least two dimensions and transfers at least a portion of the forces of gravity acting on the article into the at least one shoulder portion. 2. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 1, wherein the waistband positioning system further comprises a panel configured to distribute at least a portion of the forces of gravity acting on the article across a majority of a width of the rear of the garment assembly. 3. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 2, wherein the inner layer is secured to the outer layer along at least one of the top edge and the bottom edge of the panel. 4. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 1, wherein the waistband positioning system further comprises a panel configured to distribute at least a portion of the forces of gravity acting on the article substantially across a width of the panel. 5. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 1, wherein the distal end of the waistband positioning system comprises two generally triangular sections, wherein a first of the two generally triangular sections is coupled to the fastener and wherein a second of the two generally triangular sections is coupled to a second fastener, andwherein the first and second generally triangular sections each comprise a wider portion and a narrower portion. 6. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 5, wherein the wider portion of each of the two generally triangular sections is at least twice as wide as the narrower portion of each of the two generally triangular sections. 7. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 5, wherein the wider portion of each of the two generally triangular sections is at least three times as wide as the narrower portion of each of the two generally triangular sections. 8. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 1, wherein the inner layer extends across rear and portions of the upper-body garment assembly and does not extend across an entire width of a front of the upper-body garment assembly. 9. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 1, wherein the waistband positioning system extends at least partially across sides of the upper-body garment assembly. 10. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 1, further comprising a second inner layer forming a second channel. 11. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 1, wherein the waistband positioning system comprises a four-way stretch material that stretches both crosswise and lengthwise to facilitate distributing the forces of gravity. 12. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 11, wherein the four-way stretch material comprises a material selected from the group consisting of spandex, elastane, and microfiber. 13. The upper-body garment assembly of claim 1, wherein the outer layer includes an arm hole and wherein the independent edge of the waistband positioning system is positioned proximate the arm hole.
