LADY S GARMENT.
Specification of L6tte1S PElt6nt.' Patented :Mar. 15, 1921.
Application filed January 14, 1918. Serial No. 211,700.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, Monnrs Hnnrz and MARTHA V. HERTZ, both citizens of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Ladies Garments, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to ladies garments, and particularly to walking skirts.
The objects of our invention are to provide a walking skirt affording maximum of freedom to the limbs of the wearer; which shall obviate the necessity for petticoats to obtain correct draping and enable the wearer to dispense therewith; which shall, in effect, be self-draping; which shall afford a double thickness at the front and back, for warmth in winter, and, when made of lighter material, for increased opacity in summer, but which shall have only a single thickness over the hips, whereby the lines of the figure are preserved and bunching of the cloth is avoided; which can be readily donned and dotted without the necessity of putting it on or taking it off over the head of the wearer or of stepping into or out of it; which shall resemble a riding habit, that being an effect desired but hitherto not attained for the reason that riding habits are objectionable as walking skirts, being rendered unsightly because of the bulge essential to accommodate the raised knee of the equestrienne; and one which shall be capable of being packed without creasing.
These and other objects of our invention hereinafter set forth are attained by the habit-like skirt illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a View of the pieces of fabric employed, shown as a three-piece pattern, as the preferred form of our garment, though it will be readily understood from Figs. 6, 7 and 8, which are views similar to Fig. 1 of modifications of our invention, that it may be embodied either in a one-piece skirt by the provision of two darts, as illustrated in Fig. 6, or in a two-piece skirt by the provision of a dart in one piece and a seam joining the other two pieces, as illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8, in which the respective darts and seams are interchanged. It will also be obvious that our invention may be embodied in a skirt of a greater number of pieces joined by seams, without dc parting from the spirit of our. invention, so long as the united pieces of fabric afford the general peripheral contour shown in the drawings. Fig. 2 shows the assembly of the pieces when united; Fig. 3 shows the method of donning the skirt, by wrapping it about the body of the wearer; Fig. 4i is a front View of the skirt in position on the figure; and Fig. 5 is a back view of thesame; Figs. 6, 7 and 8 show modifications of the manner of cutting the fabric that may in certain cases be preferable by reason of the pattern of the cloth, but which are alternative constructions to our preferred embodiment as illustrated in Fig. 1. In the several views like numerals indicate corresponding elements. l
1 indicates the front portion of the skirt, 2 the side seam or dart, 8 the back of the skirt, 4 the seam or dart at the opposite side, and 5 the portion of the skirt having the extension 6 adapted to be wrapped about and overlie the parts 1 and 3, and to be fastened by the buttonhole 7 to the button or similar fastening means 8. To afford a stiffening at the waist and a firmer union of the parts at the gores, a band 9 may be employed, and, if desired, suitable attaching means at its ends, as hooks and eyes 10 and 11, may be provided as usual. It will be seen that this skirt is self-draping, since the primary wrap constituted by the parts 1, 3 and 5 affords the support needed to the secondary wrap 6, just as an underskirt does for an overskirt, and that correct draping may be secured without an underskirt or petticoat.
Similarly, it is obvious that the other obj ects sought to be attained, as previously stated, are secured, since, as a walking skirt, the greatest freedom of movement is assured to the wearer, the limbs being unhampered, since relative movement is permitted between the primary and secondary wraps, the ends of each of which are unconfined, and petticoats being dispensed with. Likewise, the convenience of putting on or taking off such a skirt will be apparent, since it is attached by a single fastening. Also, since the extension 6, which affords the secondary wrapping passes below the hips of the wearer, a double thickness of cloth is there avoided and the outline of the figure is preserved, while affording the general contour of a riding habit; and similarly, as to packing, the garment is adapted to be simply rolled as one piece of fabric and may be thus packed or stored without resultant creasing.
Having thus described our invention as an integral skirt composed substantially of one piece of fabric and without desiring to be understood as limiting our invention to the preferred embodiment composed of a plurality of pieces, since it is manifest that instead of three pieces, either one or more pieces of fabric, may be employed by suitable gores and darts, and likewise without limiting ourselves to the particular pattern shown, save as the same comprises as an essential feature a garmentwhich is adapted to be wrapped about the form of the wearer to constitute a skirt having a part below the hips adapted to partially overlie the primary wrapping, we claim: 7
1. A walking skirt havinga main or body portion terminating at one side in a free edge adapted to be attached at the top, and a supplemental portion continuous therewith and extended to encircle the body portion and toafl'ord therewith a double thickness of material below the hips at therfront and back.
2. A walking skirt having a main or body portion and an overlying extension thereof adapted to encircle the body portion, the
bod portion having a freevertical'edge ex ten ing from the waist line to the bottom, and the extension having a similarly disposed edge of less length, both the body portion and the extension being fastened at the tops of said vertical edges, and permitting free relative movement below the fastenings. V
3."A skirt comprising a band adapted to encircle the waist, a portion adapted to hang from said band and to constitute an under wrap, a second portion connected to an extension of said band and integral with the first, and. adapted to constitute an over wrap and to be fastened at a point adjacent the under-end of said band.
4. A skirt comprising a body portion adapted to be lapped upon itself at the waist, the body portion having at the front thereof a free vertical edge extending-from the waist to the bottom, the overlapping. portion extending spirally about the body garment whose vertically disposed ends are separated at the front by a single thickness of material.
7. A walking skirt adapted to simulate the cut of a riding habit comprising, when draped, an underskirt and an overskirt integral therewith affording a double thickness both at the back and front andadapted to be secured in place by a single temporary fastening.
