Y

As illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7, a skirt 48 may be secured Vto therjacketl. For this purpose,

10 the upper edge of the skirt at'the rear thereof may be provided with button holes 50 for en-` gagement vin'th buttons provided on the garment I0. The front of the skirt may have overlapping' portions 5| and 52 which are provided atV their VV upper edges with button holes 54 Vfor engagement with buttons provided on the jacket l0;

Thus, the skirt 48V may be worn with the jacket l0 to form a full length dress or gown or the jacket may be worn without the skirt, inaecord-'l ance with the wishes Aof the wearer.

Thus, it is seen that the garments hereinshownv and described are wellY adapted to accomplish y simulate the appearance of sleeves, it is unneces- 3Q sary to perform Vany cutting or stitching operations in order.. to Vform said sleeve portions. Other featuresY and advantages of the garments Y are also apparent. y

VWhile I have shown and described the pre- Y ferred embodiments of my'invention, it will be understood that certain changes inthe construction will occur to those skilled in the art in view'of the present disclosure. Therefore, I

' do'not wish torbe limited to the precise em 40i bodiments herein shown and described, "except as may be required by thejappended claims and the prior art.V Y
