CHARLES KELLER, 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
CHILDS DRESS.
Application filed. December 28, 1912.
To all whom z't may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES KELLER, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Childrens Dresses, of which the following is a specification.
This invention, broadly stated, relates to wearing apparel, for instance, outer garments and has more particular relation to childrens dresses.
The principal object of the present invention, may be said to reside in the providing of a simple, inexpensive and durable garment of the class described, the waist line of which is self-adjusting to increase the girth thereof and which waist line may be readily and expeditiously adjusted by hand to decrease the dimensions thereof.
A further object of the present invention, resides in the providing of a garment of the class described, which is adjustable to the figure throughout a comparatively large range of sizes and which will have a minimum amount of surplus material when adjusted to a figure of small size and in which the material will be disposed in an even and shapely manner.
Vith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of the improvements hereinafter described and finally claimed.
The nature, characteristic features and scope of the invention, will be more fully understood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof and in which:
Figure 1, is a rear view of a garment embodying the invention, Fig. 2, is a front view of the same, Fig. 3, is a rear view of the garment embodying the invention and illustrating the waist line adjusted to decrease the girth thereof, Fig. 4, is a fragmentary view partly sectioned of the waist line portion of the garment shown in the foregoing figures and illustrating details of construction, Fig. 5, is a view similar to Fig. 4, with. certain parts thereof removed to illustrate further details of construction, Fig. 6, is a view in section taken upon the line (36 of Fig. 4, and Fig. 7, is a rear view of one of the tubular tabs shown in the foregoing figures.
In the drawings, there is disclosed a specific embodiment of the garment embodying the invention, the same being formed in a tic 7, see Fig. 5.
Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 739,109.
manner best known to me at this time for practicing the invention. Obviously, however, slight changes may be made in details of construction without departing from the spirit of the invention and I do not desire to limit myself to the precise construction and arrangement of parts illustrated. As shown in the drawings, the garment comprises a bodice 1, which is provided with sleeves 2, and a nether part, comprising a skirt 3. These parts are formed in accordance with the dressmakers art and may be of various designs. A garment of this class is usually made to fasten in the back and as shown in the drawings, use is made for this purpose of buttons 4, and their complemental buttonholes 5. Upon each side of the garment, at the waist line, the same is shirred as at 6. Over each shirred portion 6, of the garment is attached a piece of elas- In order to retain the pieces of elastic in place and at the same time hide them from view, pieces of material 8, also shirred, may be sewn over the pieces of elastic 7. By this arrangement and construction of parts, the waist line of the garment is self-adjusting to a childs figure of relatively large size. The waist line of the garment has attached thereto a waistband 9, which immediately adjacent the shirred portion 6, of the garment is divided and provided with inserts of elastic material 10, see Fig. 4, which elastic material is secured as by means of stitches 11, to said waistband. This is so that when the parts 6, 7, and S, of the garment adjust themselves to a childsfigure of relatively large girth, the waistband will cooperate to expand there with.
As clearly shown in Fig. 6, that portion of the waistband 9, which has therein the elastic inserts 10, is not sewn to the garment but is free thereof as at a. Those portions of the waistband, which are free of the garment, including sections of elastic 10, are incased in tabs 12, of tubular formation, see Figs. 4, and 7. Thus, the pieces of elastic 10, are entirely hidden from view, which obviously is advantageous. The end 13, of each tab is fixed to the waistband 9, and the end 14, of each tab is free of the garment and is provided with a buttonhole 15. These free ends 14, of each tab 12, normally detachably engage the waistband 9, through the instrumentality of the buttonholes 15, cooperating with the buttons 16. This position is illustrated in Figs. 1, and 4t, and obviously, a garment equipped with the parts just described, will readily respond to a figure of relatively large size. desired to fit the garment to a figure of relatively small size, the free ends lf, of the tabs 12, are disengaged from their complemental buttons 16, and the buttonholes 15, of said tabs are preferably caused to engage with the button 1, secured to the Waistband 9, at the back of the garment, see Fig. 8. lVhile it is preferable to utilize one of the buttons 4, at the back of the garment, obviously additional buttons may be sewn to the waistband if desired for accommodating the free ends of the tabs. The waist line of the garment is thus reduced in size without, however, leaving a fullness or bulkiness. This is true, because there is a minimum amount of surplus material present due to the shirring and to the use of elastic, which being pliable, readily folds up into compact form. The shirring and elastic being hidden by the tabs 12, clearly, the waist line of the garment presents a relatively smooth appearance, when the garment is applied to a figure of relatively small size.
A garment of the class above described, may be readily and cheaply manufactured, is eflicient and durable in wear and possesses commercial value, due to the fact that the garment may be utilized for application to figures of relatively large and relatively small sizes.
lVhat I claim is:
1. A garment of the class described pro vided at the waist line sides thereof with shirred portions having elastic inserts said waist line being further provided with a waistband divided at points adjacent the shirred portions of the garment which divided points are provided with elastic inserts which completely cover and hide from viewthe first-mentioned inserts and elongated tabs secured at one of their ends to the garment waist line and provided at their other ends with means for detachably and adjustably engaging fastening mediums at the garment back which tabs completely cover and hide from view the last-mentioned inserts.
2. A garment of the class described provided at the waist line sides thereof with shirred portions having elastic inserts, said waist line being further provided with a waistband divided at points adjacent the On the other hand, should it be shirred portions of the garment which divided points are provided with elastic inserts which inserts are free of the garment material and completely cover and hide from View the first-mentioned inserts and tubular tabs for inclosing and completely hiding from view the last-mentioned'elastic inserts said tabs being secured at one of their ends to the garment and provided at their other ends with means for 'detachably and adjust ably engaging fastening mediums at the garment back.
3. A garment of the class described provided at the waist line sides thereof with shirred portions having elastic inserts, said waist line being further provided with a fixed waistband divided at points adjacentsaid shirred portions which divided points have secured thereto and therebetween elastic sections which are free of the garment material and completely hide from view the first-mentioned inserts, tubular tabs for incasing and completely hiding from view said elastic sections said tabs being fixed at one of their ends and free at their other ends and fastening devices for adjustably securing the free ends of said tabs to the garment back.
at. A garment of the class described provided at the waist line sides thereof with shirred portions having attached thereto strips of elastic webbing, said waist line being further provided with a fixed waistband divided at points adjacent said shirred portions the divided ends being left unstitched to the garment material which ends have therebetween and stitched thereto strips of elastic webbing which webbing is likewise unstitched to the garment material and completely hides from view said elastic webbing, tubular tabs for incasing and completely hiding from view the last-mentioned elastic webbing said tabs being fixed at one of their ends to the waistband and free at their other ends said free ends being provided with buttonholes, and but-tons secured to the waist band and closely adjacent the garment back over which buttons said buttonholes are adapted to fasten for adjustably securing said tabs to position.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.
