lho iieiiig e iteeteiiihg; device ot thisl type lil@ ltlti l lil all the wearer has to do in order to tasten the corset or other similar garment is to press one of the i'iaps or 23 into engagement with the studs l5, projecting then to the side ot the plate on which it is desired to attach the loop members or eyes ll. rlhe loop members are then titted over the ends of the studs in the ordinary manner. rllhe tlaps 22 ancl 23 protect the wearer and the garments which are located outside of the corset from the heads of the stm 1. ln providing a reversible garment or this type it is also necessary to provide rerersiole suspenders 25.

l would state in conclusion that While the illustrated example constitu a practical embodiment o'i my invention l do not limit myself strictly to the exact details herein illustrated since manifestly the same can be considerably varied Yfithout departing from the spirit ot the intention as defined in the appended claims.
