CORSET COVER! APPLICATION FILED MAR. I. 1917.

L23?,8%, Patented Aug. 21,1917.

WITNESSES IN VEIV TOR Gras W ATTORNEYS ED l CORSET-COVER.

To on whom it may concern: j

Be it known that I, Rosa GROSS, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Corset-Cover, of which the following .is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention. relates to corset covers,

chemises, brassieres, dress and waist linings,

etc, and hasto deal particularly with means p the extensions are kept closely confined to the arms 1n all positions without, however, being uncomfortable or restraining from free movement.

Another object of the invention is the provision of armpit concealing extensions which, together with the top edges of the garment, are edged with a strip of heading 1 through which a draw string can pass, whereby the drawing together of the garment around the body will automatically adjust the extensions to the arms.

With such objects in view, and otherswhich will appear as the description proceeds, the invention comprises various novel features of construction and arrangement of parts which will be set forth with particularity in the following description and claims appended hereto.

In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates one embodiment of the invention and wherein similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, Figure 1 is a front perspective view of the garment shown as a corset cover in applied position;

Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view of the garment shown on the figure; and

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary PGI'SPGCUVQVIGW of the garment detached.

Referring to the drawing, A designates the body of the garment which is formed at Specification of Letters Patent.

armpit concealing Patented Aug.21, i917.

Application filed. March 1, 1917. Seria1No. 151,761.

opposite sides with armpit concealing ex tensions 1 which are of such length as to extend under thearms two or three inches from the center of the armpit, and the width of the extensions is such that only the inner side ofethe arm will be covered. A loopor strap 2 extends from'the front edge 3 to the back edge 4 of each extension, and this loop passes over the outside of the arm, whereby the extensions will be "held in proper position. The body portion of the garment can be held in proper position by shoulder straps 5. Any desired number or arrangement of arm or shoulder straps may be employed. lhe top edge of the body of the garment is provided with a strip of beading 6 which is continued along the edges of the armpit concealing extensions 1 and through this continuous beading is run a draw string 7. When the garment is adjusted the ends are buttoned together in the usual manner, and then the draw string 7 is pulled so as to gather the top portion of the garment snugly around the body, and by thus pulling the ends of the draw string the extensions will be adjusted snugly to the arms. In other words, the openings formed by the arm straps 2 and extensions 1 can be contracted to the girth of the arms, whereby the extensions will be held in contact with the under sides of the arms and thereby prevent exposing of the armpits.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the advantages of the construction and method of operation will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains, and while I have described the principle of operation, together with the article which I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the article shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be made when desired as fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A garment of the class described comprising a shoulderless body and formed with armpit concealing extensions having front and rear edges in continuation of the front and rear edges of the body, shoulder-embracing means connected with the front and rear of the body, arm-embracing means connected.

with the said extensions, and draw means extensions, and a draw string passing. along the top edge of the body at the front and along the front, rear, and end edges of the said extensions, whereby the drawing ofthe strings will gather the garment around the body of the wearer and the extensions around the arms,

I 3. A garment of the class describedcomprising a body having armpit concealing extensions, said extensions covering the inner or under side of the arms, shoulder straps connected with the body at points inwardly from the extensions, arm "st-raps connected with the extensions and extending around the outside of the arms, and means on the extensions and cooperating with the arm straps for gathering the same close to the and along the edges of the extensions and across the back of the body, and a draw string extending continuously through the beading.

Rosa enoss.
