ijineJbww 1046 W? 25m iL The margin around the neck opening, which margin for convenience I call the neck yoke comprises the back section 8, side sections 9 and 1.0 and the front sections 11, 12-. Said neck yoke is continuous exceptbetween. the front sections ll and 12. The main front scction'll is formed of the upper end of the outer ply 13 and a portion of the intermediate ply let of the fullness (3. and said intermediate ply l4 and the inner oly 15 are notched at their upper ends'bythe notch 16 which may be of greater or less depth depending upon the size it is desired to give to the neck opening 7. By reason of this notch the upper ends of the intermediate and the inner plies 1st and 15 are narrow points and the front ends of the yoke pieces shown at 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 terminate at the said narrow upper ends of the plies M and 15. The upper end 17 of the intermediate ply i l is sewed to the upper end of the outer ply 11 and the corner 18 formed by the junction of the upper ends of the intermediate ply i l and the outer ply 11 are provided with a button hole 19 adapted to fasten over a button at the outer point of the inner ply 15. where one or more buttons may be pro" vided for this purpose on the section 12 of the yoke as shown at 20 and 21. When the corner 18 is loosened from the button. shown in Figs. 52- and t the neck of the garment may be distended to the full circumference of the opening and when the fullness is folded, the garment may be brougnt together and buttoned. shown in Fig. 1, thus to lit the neck of the wearer.

The back belt 22 at the waist line may be a single strap shown in Fig. 17 folded and sewed byany of the well-known methods customary in the art; and when sewed to the garment, itis provided at its opposite ends with one or more fastening devices as indicated by the buttons 2?, 2.4: on opposite sides of the fullness 6.

The front of the garment is provided at the waist line with two orifices 25, 26 in the same horizontal plane with the fasteners 23, 24, and between these oril'ces is fastened the front belt strap 27 that is provided with a free end 2-8 having a fastener as the button hole 29 adapted to engage the complementary'fastener, as the button. Bet. On the inside of the garment about midway of the fullness 6 at the waist line, a hollow belt tab 30 provided with as the button hole 31 is arranged, the opposite edges of the hollow tab bein sewed to the fullness at 32, 33 around the orifice 26, so, that a finger may be inserted through the orifice 26 into the hollow tab and thereby the hollow tab may be passed through the orifice 25,

thus to allow the fastener 31 of the tab to be brou 'ht to en a e either oneof the fasa: g g

tenors 'When the'tab 30 has thus been fastened, the front belt hand strap '28 may be drawn around and the fastener 29 fastened with either of the fasteners 24-.

In the operation of closing the garment as above described the fullness will fold over as indicated in Fig. 1, thus bringing the gar ment to a neat fit at the-waist. When the a ts are thus fastened. liability of the inner ply 15 of the garment to sag is done away with, since the tab 30 which is directly far-- toned. thereto is supported by the material at the orifice and by the fastener 23. By. making the tab 30 short and hollow as shown, it can be handled by the person donning the garment by simply inserting the linger through the orifice 26 and into the hollow tab and then pushing the tab through the orifice L25 whereupon the tip of the tab can be grasped from outside the garment and the tab may then be brought into fastening position.

' Referring to the patterns, thesame are shopgn as being provided with notches 83 located on the meeting edges and arranged to register with each other as in the usual method of joining patterns or pieces of a garment together in the usual manufacture of garments. The front bodice piece 34. differs from ordinary patterns in that it has the fullness (.3 to form the three-ply fold '13, 14,15 in which the notclrlli is cut and said bodice piece is also provided with slits 2: 1, 26 which constitute the orifice shown in the views of the completed garment. The back bodice piece 35 and the sleeve piece 36 are cut in the usual way: the sleeve piece 36 being duplicate and the front and back pieces being single. The front skirt gore 3 differs from the usual front skirt gore in that it has a-fullness section 37 added to one side, as along the folding line indicated at a. To a usual first side gore 38 is added a fullness 38 over which fullness the plies 37' and 37 of the front gore may fold, the side gore section 38 forming the inner fold of the skirt fullness The other side gorcs 39, ll), 41 and the back gores 42 are made in ac rdance with the usual dressmaking art, the back gore 42 being adapted to he gathered on the upperedge, or to be folded on the dotted line 0.

The bloorner leg adapted to go with the garment if made with the waist composed of the piecl shown in Figs. 8, 9, 10 and 13, may be co; "tructed as shown in Fig. 14 there being duplicate pieces corresponding to the piece 43 w iich is of the usual con struction of bloom 3 leg patterns excepting .that there is added to it a gusset extension 44 extended beyond the center front line (2., the upper edge f of which gusset extension is a continuation of the upper edge of the bloomer pattern, and in completing the ment such extension is sewed to one-half of a lower edge of the fullness 6 of the bodice; thetwo edges f of the duplicate bloomer legs filling the full space across the fullness 6 of the bodice.

In Figs. 8 and 13 9 indicates the center front line and in Fig. 9 it indicates the center back line.

In the form in which the garment is constructed without a skirt, the waist will.

at one side of the fullness causes said full ness to be appropriately disposed with relation to the bust of the wearer.
