Definitions
- the present invention having the objects outlined above in view, provides a dress slit completely up the front and which is laterally extended on each side of the slit so that the front parts of the garment overlap one another to a considerable degree. Nevertheless, this overlapping is not normally such as to ex- 5 tend half way around the garment. The overlapping takes place merely along a vertical strip up the front of the garment approximately one third of the total width of the latter.
- Means are provided for fastening, in a simple manner, the garment around the neck or shoulders of the wearer and, in addition, an external belt is provided to confine the garment around the waist of the wearer.
- an inner belt separate and distinct from the outer belt, is provided above the waist line and above the outer belt. This causes the garment to fit closely and snugly around the bust of the wearer.
- a very important feature of a dress according to this invention is the provision of vertical free ly expansible pleats, extending from the hem of the garment more or less vertically upwards and preferably extending above the waist line of the garment.
- These pleats are freely expansible laterally at their lower ends and throughout their length and are of such size or dimensions as to permit the wearer free movement in the dress without the overlapping parts being appreciably disturbed and therefore without the dress opening along the slit front.
- the pleats additionally in practice, enable the dress to remain closed in spite of heavy winds, et cetera.
- the dress includes a yoke and the said substantially vertical pleats extend from the hem of the garment up to the lower end of the yoke and the upper part of the dress is fastened by buttons, press studs, or other suitable means, localized on this yoke to one side of the vertical centre line of the front of the dress.
- the dress may be made of any suitable material, such as satin, cretonne, fabrics having printed or woven designs, linen materials and the like.
- Figure 1 shows one form of wrap-over garment according to the invention, in the opened condition
- Figure 2 shows the same garment in the closed condition.
- the garment consists of the actual gown l which is slitted down its whole length on the front side.
- the garment is made with continuous pleats 2, 3 on the front side and a double yoke or revers or bodice part 4, 5.
- the sleeves and the neck may be of any form and may be adapted to the prevailing fashion.
- Pockets 6, l of any preferred form may be provided at desired places and may be arranged to correspond with the pleats and the slit in the garment.
- a belt 8 passing around the garment at waist or bodice height.
- This belt can be attached at the middle of the back part. Also it may be made in one or two parts as desired.
- An inner belt 9 is preferably disposed at a somewhat higher level than the outer belt 8 so as to insure that the garment fits well at the waist.
- wrap-over dress according to the present invention can be varied in many ways, for example as to the choice of fabric, the fashion in which it is cut, and the arrangement of pleats, pockets, revers and so on, within the scope of the appended claim.
- the garment can be made with half-length sleeves, full-length sleeves, or without any sleeves at all.
- a ladys wrap-over dress comprising a skirt and a bodice portion having a neck opening, said dress divided at the front by a continuous slit extending from top to bottom throughout the entire length of the garment so as to divide the front into two portions, and having'one of the front portions adapted to overlap the other by aconsiderable distance at the front of the dress,
