LADY'S AND CEILDB BLOOMERS.

Application filed August 16, 1827. Serial No. 218,250.

This invention is an improvement over the garment disclosed in my copending application Serial N 0. 212,687, filed August 13, 1927, and, generally stated, relates to nether garments and has more especial relation to garments for feminine and childrens wear, commonly called bloomers.

The leading object-of the present invention mag be said to reside in the provision of an un ergarment of the character stated in which the body portion is out upon a true bias and having its parts so folded that a closed back and a closed bottom are provided with no stitches at the rear or sides, the garment being practically made from a single piece of material with no crotch present.

A further object of the 1 resent invention is to provide a arment of-t e character stated in which t e entire waist-line and hip portions are absolutely smooth and fiat, and in which all excess fullness is eliminated.

A further object is to make the back portion so ample that the greatest possible freedom is allowed with no binding at any point.

A still further object is to provide adjustability for. convenience without the use of elastic or draw string of any kind and without resorting to darts, pleats, or gathers of any kind.

A further object is to provide a garment of the character stated which has a smooth and. well fitting portion around the hips of the wearer and which at the bottom of the garment is outwardly flared, skirt fashion.

A still further object is to provide a garment of the character stated the back of which is quite full, without seams, and which because the material is out upon a bias readily yields with body movements without stress or strain being exerted upon-the back of the garment.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a garment of the character stated which at its bottom is entirely closed, and shaped in so novel a manner that excess fullness is eliminated while allowing the greatest possible amount of material adjacent the leg openings, so that the comfort of the wearer is assured in various leg movements.

A further object is to provide a frontal insert for the garment shaped in so novel a manner that adjustability of the waist and hip portions of the garment may be secured without the use of elastic or draw strings, and in which smoothness and fullness at the ,front of'the arment immediately the waist band is secured. A further object is to provide for leg adustability and complete snugness by the use of the novel frontal insert so that the knee cuff lies smooth and constant in contradistinction to shifting, thus making for comfort to the wearer.

The invention consists of the novel construction hereinafter described and finally claimed. Other and further objects not at this time appearing will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The nature, characteristic features and scope of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken in connectlon with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, and in which: Fig. 1, is a view in front elevation of my novel bloomer.

Fig. 2, is a rear view thereof.

adjacent Fig. 3, is a view of a blankfrom which my novel bloomer is fashioned; and Fig. IS a view of the frontal insert used in con unction with the blank shown in Fig.3.

or the purpose of illustrating my invention I have shown in the accompanying drawings one form thereof which is at present preferred by me, since the same has been found in practice to give satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which my invention consists can be variously arranged and organized and that my invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of the instrumentalities as herein shown and described.

In the drawings, and referring first to Figs. 3 and 4:, I will describe the blank or pattern and the frontal insert as used in conjunction therewith, from which I fashion my novel bloomer. In carrying out the present invention I form the blank or pattern shown in Fig. 3, from a single piece of material which is out upon. a true bias, that is, at an angle of 45. Referring to Fig. 3, the vertical line designated by reference letters A-A illustrates thebias of the goods as does the horizontal line BB. The line designated CC which extends at an angle of 45 bisects the intersection of lines A-A' and BB and denotes the straight of the oods as it is commonly termed in the trade. e upper part of the blank is out upon the inwardly extending curvature designated 1,

from the points 2-2 to form, the waist lineof the bloomer. From the oints 2-2 to the oints 3-3 the blank extends upon outwardydirected straight lines 44. From the points 3-3 to the oints 5-5 the blank extends upon inward y directed straight lines 6-6. Between the points- 5-5 which are at the bottom of the blank the curvatures 7-7 and 8 are provided. The frontal piece is cut at its top from the points 9-9 to form the curvature 10. Between the points 9-9 and the points 11-11 the blank is out upon outwardly curved lines 12-12. From the points 11-11 to the points 13-13 the blank is out upon straight lines 14.-14. Between the points 13-13 the blank is inwardly cut to provide the curvature 15. When the above described blank is properly folded in connection with the frontal piece and the two stitched together, as best seen in Fig. 1, there is fashioned the bloomer boclly of the present invention.

ving now described the blank and frontal piece I will now describe in detail the manner of bloomer formation. The blank is positioned as shown in Fig. 3 and the frontal piece is laid upon the top thereof with the curved edge of the frontal iece coincident with the curved edge 1 o' the blank. The points 2-2 of the blank are then folded over to meet the oints 9-9 of the frontal piece, and the points 3-3 of the blank are folded over to meet the frontal piece, in which position of parts the edges 4-4 and 6-6 of the blank meet with the curved edges 12 of the frontal piece. The points 5-5 of the blank are then folded over to meet the points 13-13 of the frontal piece and the curved parts 7-7 and the curved part 8 of the blank are caused to align with the curved part 15 of the frontal piece. When these parts are properly stitched together there is at the front of the bloomer a seam 16, see Fig. 1, which extends from the waist line to the leg opening 17. Opposite to this seam 16 there is formed a seam 18 which extends from the opposite leg opening 17 to the point 19 which is somewhat below the waist line. This provides a flap 20 so that waist adjustments may be obtained. Stitched around the top of the bloomer bod is a waist band 21 which is provided wit fastening means, as for instance buttons 22, and with a button hole 23. Snap fastener parts 24 or equivalent means as hooks and eyes may be rovided, as shown in Fig. 1, for securing t eflap 20 to the frontal piece 25. That part of the garment at the bottom thereof is closed as at 26- between the leg openings 17-17, and the frontal piece is stitched tothe closed bottom by the seam 27 which as clearly shown in Fig. 1 is upwardly curved. At the front of the garment upon each side the frontal piece extends down to the knee cuff 28, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, so that the knee cuff may lie smooth in constant position. Each knee cuff has extended ther'earound, upon each side of the frontal piece extension, elastic, draw-strings, or the like. Thus, at the rear of the bloomer the leg openings 17 are rovided with, for instance, elastic; but at t e front no elastic is present. A bloomer constructed along the lines above described is provided at'the rear with ample fullness and, without an crotch, andat the front with not too muc fullness so that the garment will snugly fit around the body of the wearer, articularly i t the hip portions and around the waist me. ployed so that seams are reduced to a minimum. If desired, instead of having the flap 20 as shown in Fig. 1, the frontal piece may be stitched to the garment body and the bloomer opened upon one or each side, and provided with but-tons or e uivalent fastening mediums in order to ta e care of waist line adjustment.

Among the advantages obtained by my novel bloomer, mention may be made of the following:

The bloomer is cut on theprinciple of one piece of material for the body on a true bias, with a set-in piece in front cut in a novel Way for waist adjustability without the use of elastic or draw strin of any kind, so arranged that the fullest enefit is derived in supplying roominess and comfort, and the elimination of bunchiness, gathering and fullness.

The entire waist line is smooth and flat, eliminating all excess fullness which comes with use of elastic or draw string, and without the use of darts, pleats or gathers of any kind.

There are no seams at the back or sides, eliminating all discomfort in rubbing or in side-wise pulling.

Fullest possible room for leg stretchin and comfort is allowed, without the use 0 seams or extra material.

The novel set-in front piece permits adjustability. to waist, hip and leg measurement as desired, without the use of elastic or draw string of any kind.

The front piece gives smoothness and flatness around the waist, without the use of elasticor draw string.

The novel inset front piece, which extends .down to the leg, permits the rest of the knee-cuff to lie smooth and in a permanent position, eliminating the discomfort that comes from the constant shifting of the position of the knee-cuff.

What I claim is:

An undergarment of the character stated comprising a main body rtion and a frontal portion, said garment eing narrowed adjacent its top to snugly engage over the But two pieces of material are em-.

hips of the wearer and outwardly flared adjacent its bottom, said garment having an open top, a rmanently closed rear portion and a close bottom portion, the latter being provided with leg openings, the front of the garment being partially formed of folded-over portions of said main body'portion, said main body portion being formed of a blank having greater transverse length 10 than vertical height and being pointed at its opposed transverse ends, the blank sides convergin to form said ends-and meeting at an ang e of substantially 9Q degrees, the

bottom of said main portion forming an outwardly curved ed e connecting the lowest portions of said si es, a frontal piece having bifurcated parts, tended from the waist line to the knee-cuffs of the garment, the said main body portion being stitched to said frontal piece to provide front seams onl E VA G.
