GARMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 317. inf-L5.

, Application filed may 27, 1912. Serial No. 699,865.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Ross ABnAMs, citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garments, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is a ladys garment, that shown being a united skirt and bodice.

It has the advantage of being easy to put on and take off and requires no hooks and eyes or buttons. Further, one size of garment fits a wide range of figures irrespective of variations in bust and waist measure. This universality in the fit of the garment is advantageous to the seller because it cuts down the number of sizes which he is required to-carry in stock. Further, it is advantageous to the wearer because it permits the parts of the bodice to be adjusted to give either a substantially closed neck to the garment or a dcollet effect to any extent I desired. Further, I provide a guimpe especially adapted to the garment of my present invention.

In the drawings which show only one of the embodiments which my improvements are adapted to take, Figure 1 is a front view of a garment Within my invention shown on a form; Fig. 2 is a rear view of the same shown partly on; Fig. 3 is a cross section in Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a view of the garment of the preceding .figures shown from the rear with the bodice spread open; Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 2 except that it shows my improved guimpe combined with the garment; and Fig. isa detail of the guimpe detached.

I will now describe the particular garment of the drawings, reserving it to the claim to point out the novel features and to define the scope of the invention, it being understood that the claim will be given the due range of equivalents to which it may be entitled in view of the art.

The particular garment shown has a skirt, and further said skirt is united to the bodice so that the dress is in one piece.

v1 is at waist band adapted to extend twice around the waist and has a buckle 2 adapted to unite the free ends of the band. Said free ends are preferably elastic so as to give greater range of adjustment as well as The bodice consists of two similar hal'res H extending respectively over the shoulders of the wearer. lhe bottom edge 5 of each half extends over to the opposite 60 side of the garment and is sewed or otherwise appropriately secured to the front and back portions of the waist band, these bemg, of course, the portions of the first round of the walst band immediately next to the wearer. The inner edge 6 of one half of the bodice inclines across the inner edge of the other half.

Fig. 2 shows the garment in process of being put on and Fig. 1 shows it completely on with the free ends of the waist band brought together and buckled. The effect is to overlap the halves of the bodice and to pull the bodice. snugly around or into the figure. The extensive overlapping of the bottoms of the halves of the bodice keeps their upper portions from working off the shoulders. No buttons or hooks and eyes are required to unite the halves of the l bodice and hold them together. Thus, the 80 garment can be very quickly put off or on. The shoulder portions can be adjusted closely together--- or to varying distances apart to give the desired effected; the neck, either closed or more or less open. 35

Figs. 2 and 3 show how one of the halves of the bodice is vertically slitted at 7 to permit one free end of the waist band to pass through it to the outside in position to be buckled to the free end of said band,

' tures provide for adjustability to fit various sizes of figures.

The aforesaid front and back sections 9 of the guimpe are adapted to be sewed or otherwise suitably attached interiorly to 1 0'5 the front and back portions of'one of the halves of the bodice so that it goes on with the dress. Then the side of the filiimpe that is under the opposite half of the bodice is buttoned up, whereupon said bodice-half is adjusted up on the shoulder and finally the ends of the waist-band are buckled together. Each side of the guimpe under the arm is secured together by buttons 100 00- operating with a button-hole 100, one button or another being used to make the guimpe fit the particular figure.

Such changes and modifications as can be made in any of the foregoing without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention are intended to be coveredhereby as being mere equivalents of my invention.

What I claim is:

A ladys garment comprising a waist band adapted to wrap twice around the waist and to be united at its free ends, and a bodice consisting of two halves extending respectively over the shoulders of the wearer and crossing each other at the front, these two halves being secured to front and back portion of the inner winding of the waist band and ending at the band, and a skirt whose upper edge is attached to said hand, one of these halves being slitted to permit the passage therethrough of the second winding of the Waist band and the other having a loop for the same purpose.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

ROSE ABRAMS.
