GARMENT.
Application filed. December 14, 1922. Serial No. 606,873.
To all to 710m it may concern:
Be it known that I, LOUISE M. DU Bosn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Long Beach, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garments, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in wearing apparel.
The primary object of this invention is the provision of a garment simulating a waist or dress, being preferably adapted for use by children, and being of such formation as to facilitate handling and applica tion of the same as a garment.
A further and important object of this invention is the provision of a dress which is of relatively simple construction, including a main portion formed of a single piece of material, so arranged that the same when not in use, and especially during washing and ironing may be disposed in fiat relation, since the same includes no overlapping and interconnected folds.
A further object of this invention is the provision of a childs dress embodying a novel arrangement for attachment of the same to a wearer, as a garment, and whereby the provision of buttons, hooks, and like fastening expedients is obviated, thus providing a garment which may be washed, ironed, and generally handled in facile manner.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent during the course of the following detailed description.
In the drawings, forming a part of this specification. and wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
Figure 1 is a rear elevation of the improved garment, showing the various details thereof in assembled relation, to simulate the appearance that the garment would have upon a wearer. I
Figure 2 is a front elevation of the improved dress or garment.
Figure 3 is an extended front view of the garment.
Figure 4: is a developed view of the main body portion of the improved garment.
Figure 5 is a transverse cross sectional view, taken substantially on the line 55 of Figure 1, and showing the manner in which the garment body portion is maintained in position for use as a garment by means of a sash.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary cross sectional view, taken substantially on the line 6-6 of Figure l.
Figure 7 is a perspective view of an elastic retalning member utilized in connection with the application of a garment sleeve about a wearer.
In the drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown but the preferred embodiment of this invention, the letter A generally designates the improved garment, which may include the improved single piece body B; sash C; and elastic retaining memher I). i
The body B of the improved garn'ient is preferably a single piece of seamless material, which may be unfolded into a single flat section having no overfolding portions whatsoever, and substantially as is illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawings. The body B may best be described by referring to the application of the same upon a wearer, and for this purpose includes front and rear portions 10 and 11 of identical formation, which are folded upon each other, at the transverse line 12*. At the juncture of the front and rear portions 10 and 11, it is preferred to provide an opening 12 whereby the garment A may be slipped over the head of the wearer to receive the neck in said opening. Binding 13 ispreferably provided peripherally about the opening 12 and which may be of contracting material with respect to the material forming the body B. Relatively short sleeve extensions 15 and 16 are provided on each side of the body B on opposite sides of the neck opening 12; these sleeve portions 15 and 16 being split, so that they may be laid out flat, so to speak, and for this purpose a portion of each of said sleeve parts 15 and 16 is provided on each of the front and rear portions 10 and 11, as is illustrated in Figure 4 of the drawings. I
Relatively wide side flaps 18 and 19 are provided on the front portion 10 of the garment loody B, and similarly relatively wide side flaps 20 and 21 are provided laterally on the rear portion 11 0f the garment body B. These flaps 18 to 21 are preferably provided extending from the bottom marginal edges 22 of the portions 10 and 11, to just below the sleeves 15 and 16; it being preferred that the width of these flaps 18 to 21 are preferably horizontal, and spaced just below the lower edges of the sleeve portions 15 and 16, substantially as is illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawings. A pair of parallel and adjacently disposed slots 30 are provided in each of the flaps 18,19, 20 and 21, adjacent the top marginal edges 2% of said flaps; the run of the slots preferably being at right angles to the horizontal edges 24.
Referring to, the arrangement of the im proved body B as a garment for use upon a wearer, the portions 10 and 11 are folded -1'espectively forwardly and rea-rwardly of :thereof in aligning relation.
the wearer upon the medial line 12 In this position the relation of the flaps 18 and 20 of the front and rear portions 10 and 111'sspecively, are in adjacent relation to one side of. the garment A, with the slots 30 of the flaps 18 and 20 in aligning'relation. Similarly, the flaps 19 and 21 of the front and rear portions 10 and 11 respectively, are in adjacent relation upon the opposite side of the garment A with the slots 30 The garment body B in this, preliminary position with the flaps 18 and 20 in overlapping relation, .and the flaps l9 and 21 in similarly over- .lapping conforming relation, permits the wearer to utilize the sash C by threading the sameacross the.front portion 10 with the ends of the same through the-slots 30, in order to connect the flaps 18 and 20, and the flaps 19- and;21, as is illustrated in Figures 3..and 5 of the drawings. The sash C and the. overlapping flaps are then folded and brought rearwardly of the garment A, so
i that the garment may conform to the wearer by'flmeansof binding material 42. I tam-ing strip D is preferably .ment, in view of the .19, 20 and 21, are relatively wide and may and theends of the sash C are then secured in an appropriate tie over: the rearpor- .tion 11, substantially as is illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawings. It can readily be seen that this arrangement of the garment bodyzB, as a. aist or as a dress, permits the con'ifortabler and effective formation of the same asa garment, without liability of there being any side openings laterally ofthe garfact that the flapslS,
be folded over the rear portionll for the entire length from the top edges 24 thereof to the bottom edges 22 of the garment A.
=In view of the fact that the sleeve portions 15 and 16 are split to permit the effective and simple formation of the body portion B, ,it..is preferred to provide a way 38. ad-
'jacentthe outer marginal portion of each of the sleeves 15. and 16,: for
the. reception of the -.elast1e,.bands .D. This way 38 may be variously provided as by means of a portion 40 secured .on one side by stitching 41, and on the outer marginal, portion of the sleeve The reof elastic .ma-
terial, having the male and female portions H and 15 respectively, of a snap fastener arrangen'ient, secured to the ends thereof in the well known manner, whereby the ends of the retaining hand may be secured about the arm of the wearer, and thus draw the outer portion of the sleeves 15 and 16 in closed manner, substantially as is illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawings.
The entire garment body B is preferably bound marginally by means of contrasting material 50, similar to the binding 13 and 42 above mentioned. This bind ng is of such nature and application on the body 1%, as to permit the reversal of said body B, as desired, without effecting any material change in appearance in the applicationof the garment upon a wearer. This provides a reversible feature for the garment A, permitt'ng the wearing of the same upon both sides.
The improved garment A is preferably utilized as childs garment, in connection with any ordinary ty )e of bloomers of analogous n'iaterial an binding. However, the garment A need not necessarily be restricted to such use,-as the same may be utilized with a skirt of analogous material and binding.
From the foregoing description, of this invention, it can readily be understood that garment of practical nature has been (provided, which may be effectively retain on a child without the parts thereof coming apart or exposing the undergarments of a child, particularly in View of the relatively wide flaps 18, 19, 20, and 21, provided, and the means of securing said flaps so that they fold for their entire width rearwaidly of the garment body B. The elimination of all fastening buttons, hooks, and other like expedients, of course, simplifies and facilitates the handling of washing and ironing.
Various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be made to the improved garment, without departing from the spirit of this invention or the scope of the claims.
