Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A method of assembling a garment for a person comprises assembling a collection of different versions of each of a plurality of different parts of a garment, e.g. sleeves, bodices, skirts, etc., presenting the collection of garment parts to a customer for selection, fitting individual selected ones of the garment parts onto the customer and temporarily securing together the thus-fitted selected garment parts on the customer. The customer thus has an opportunity to see the appearance, on the customer, of the assembled garment parts. The thus-fitted, selected garment parts are then removed from the customer to be subsequently stitched together into a finished garment.

Description
2 ~
The present invention relates to a method of assembling a garment.
Conventionally, garments are manufactured and merchandised either as ready-to-wear garments, which are fully finished at a production location, e.g. a S clothing-factory, or as made-to-measure garments.
In the case of ready-to-wear garments, the purchaser has the opportunity to inspect different styles from a -number of actual garments. The customer may,if required, try on the garments before concluding the purchase of one or more garments.
Thus, before the purchase, the style can be selected and also the fit and appearance of the garment can be inspected. Alterations to the fit and, in some cases, to the style can, if required, be made subsequently.
The customer~ s choice is, however, limited to the garments which are available in the store. It is not, therefore, possible for a selection to be made from 15 different garment parts in order to modify immediately the appearance on the customer of a garment which, as a complete garment, is not presently available for that purpose. For example, in the case of a woman~ s dress, the purchaser must accept the available combination of sleeve, bodice, back, collar and skirt styles and sizes, which are predetermined by the designer of the garment.
~0 This lack of availability of different garment part combinations also normally applies in the case of made-to-measure garments, which are selccted from samples or illustrations of finished garments the component parts of which are likewise preselected by a designer. Moreover, in this case the customer is not immediately able to see the appearance of the garment on the customer and must 25 return to the store at a later date for a fitting.
l'hus, with these conventional mer~handising methods, a customer is not given the choice of immediately trying on and selecting individual parts of garments and then having these parts subsequently assembled into a finished garment. Since it is not possible for various individual garment parts to be tried 30 on by the person for whom the garment is intended, it is not possible to experiment ir~mediately with different combinations of styles of di~ferent parts of the garment.
For example, a woman purchasing a wedding dress or a formal gown is not ., . . - .: , -. . . . ...

~2a~
able tQ experiment by trying on long sleeves and a low-neckline bodice with a long skirt and then trying on, with the same skirt, short sleeves and a bodice having a high neckline, unless both of such garments are already available in the store.
S It is accordingly an object of the present invention to at least partially mitigate these disadvantages.
According to the present invention, there is provided a method of assembling a garment for a person, which comprises the steps of assembliny, a collection of different versions of each of a plurality of different parts of a 10 garment; presenting the collection of garment parts for selection; fitting individual selected ones of the garment parts onto the person; temporarily securing together the thus-fitted selected garment parts on the person to present on the person a sirnilarity of the appearance of at least a major portion of an assembled garment;
removing the thus-fitted, selected garment parts from the person; and lS subsequently securing together the selected garment parts as parts of the garment.
The present invention therefore makes it possible to experiment with different garment parts, which are secured together on the person for whom the garment is intended, so that for example the appearance of the assembly of various different styles of garment parts can be viewed and considered before a 20 final selection of the garment parts is completed.
The invention will be more readily understood from the following description of an embodiment thereof when taken in conjunction with the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which:
Figures lA and lB illustrate two dress sleeves of different styles;
Figures 2A - ~C illustrate three dress backs of different styles;
Figures 3~ and 3B illustrate two dress bodices of different styles;
Figures 4A - 4B illustrate three dr4ss bodices of different styles, each having a single sleeve; and Figure S shows a complete dress.
Referring firstly to Figures 1~ and lB, these -figures show two sleeves 10 and 11 which represent part of a collection of different sleeve sizes and styleswhich are held a store so as to be ready for inspection by a potential customer.
.
.
2 ~
The customer may thus try on any pair of these sleeves as part of a temporarily assembled garment, while she considers the appearance of the sleevesin such a garment.
The collection of garment parts also includes a selection of different sizes S and styles of dress backs, including those indicated by reference numerals 14, 15 and 16 in Figures 2A - 2C and bodices, includ;ng those indicated by reference numerals 18 and 20 in Figures 3A and 3B, and in addition a selectiorl of dress skirts, of which only one is shown in the drawing and is indicated by reference numeral 22 in Figure 5.
Figures 4A, ~B and 4C show bodices 24, 25 and 26, respectively, assembled with sleeves 28, 29 and 30, respectively, during the assembly of all of the parts of a garment on the customer.
Figure 5 illustrates an entire dress indicated generally by reference numeral 32, which is temporarily assembled on the customer and comprises the 15 skirt 22, a bodice 34, two sleeves 36 and a dress back (not shown), which are held together by pins.
If the customer decides that the appearance and/or fit of the dress 32 is/are not satisfactory, she can replace one or more of the above-mentioned separate parts of the dress, and can continue to do so until she is satisfied.
The selected parts of the dress can then be removed from the customer and stitched together to form a fimshed garment.
It will be apparent that modifications may be made in the above-described procedure. For example, the collection of garment parts available -for selectionmay include collars, lace and other dress decorations and other garment parts, in 25 addition those mentioned above.
