SPECIPICATIO` forming part of Letters Patent. No. 373,895, dated November 29, 1887.
Application tiled October 1S, 1887. Serial No. 252,697. (No model.)
.To all iohom it may concern: Be it known that I, HARRIET JUDsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in WaterfProof Garments, of which the following is a speciiication.
The object of my invention is to provide a water-proof garment, more particularly for ladies use, so constructed that it may be adapted to be worn over the different styles of dresses and wraps used by ladies in thevarious changes of fashion, and over tight or looseltting summer or winter garments, and also over bustles, panniers,or the like, and which can be arranged at the will of the wearer to form a well-shaped, elose-litting, or a loose-fitting garment. To accomplish these two objects two things are necessary-rst, to provide a degree of fullness above the waist, which can be shaped and adjusted to the upper part of the body and its apparel, and, second, to provide another and additional fullness adapted to cover the bustle and. pannier and the larger fullness of the ajs'kirts, and all together to form a neat, closefitting garment, so desirable for ladies7 use.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an outside view of the back of my improved water-proof garment. Fig. 2 is an inside view of the same, showing the lacing-cord loose and the waistband left untied. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the box-plait at 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a crosssection at 44 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 isa pattern of one of the ways inwhich the back breadth is to be cut in order to obtain the desired fullness over the bustle and about the hips. Fig. 6 is an outside view of this back breadth after it hasbeen stitched and otherwise adapted to my invention. Figs. 7 and 8 are patterns of another way in which the back breadth may be cut and an extra piece inserted to obtain the fullness over the bustle and about the hips.
Like letters of reference represent like parts on the different drawings.
In the drawings, A is the garment with its sleeve'B.
C is a box-plait opening inward, which may have an ordinary stiffening-lining stitched to the inside of the outer edges of the box-plait at e e, Fig. 3, if so desired.
D is a lacing-cord, which is to be laced ,back
and forth through the button-holes or through eyelets E in an eyelet-band, H.
F is a waistband or belttape.
G is a single box-plait or a series of gathers formed of the fullness at the bottom of the reentering parallelogram O', when the edges l andi, Fig. 5, are joined and stitched together.
K is the sleeve-hole of the sleeve B, which is enlarged at the bottom, thereby permitting the entrance of a large sleeve and the garment to be adapted to the clothing of the wearer,
according as the box-plait is laced tightly or loosely, as the case may be.
L is an outside band, merely for ornament.
One way to accomplish the objects of my invention is to cut the back breadth of my garment very wide, as shown in Fig. 5. Out of the upper part of this back breadth I cut an indentation or re-entering parallelogram, G. The two sides l l of this indentation are then placed and stitched together, forming the seam l, Fig. 6. This will reduce the width of my garment across the back, butat the same time leave a large amount of fullness at and below the lower end of the seam, which is adapted to cover the bustle and pannier. The upper edge of this fullness is then secured to the garment by gathering or forming into a secondary box-plait and stitching the same down, as shown by the dotted lines at the lower ends of the eyelet-bands, Figs. 2 and 6; but this same fullness can be secured in another way, by cutting a slit in the skirt, such as in Fig. 7, and then inserting and stitching to the edges of the slit a piece, b, as shown in Fig. 8. Outside of this, and running up to the collar or the neck, and running out into the fullness of the goods below, I form a box-plaitA opening inward, as seen in Fig. 2 and in crosssection in Fig. 3. From the neck to about the waist, and along each ot' the inner edges of this box-plait, or, better still, along an eyelet-band, H, to be stitched on the inner edges, but far enough therefrom to prevent tearing ont, I insert eyelets or make button-holes. These button-holes or eyelets are to be placed at suitable distances apart-say, one inch-through which a lacingcord, D, is to be laced back and forth, and its two ends tied tightly or loosely,
- according to the garment over which it is to be worn. At the waist-line and a little above IOO the lower end of the eyclct-band may be placed a waistband o'r belt-tape, F, to be attached to the inner side of the back of the garment, at the center of the box-plait, for the purpose of drawing the garment close to the back of the wearer. The increased fullness of the gathers or secondary plait G are then allowed to fall away in graceful folds to the end of the skirt. When the garment is to be worn over a heavy dress with loose sleeves, or over a fur dolman, outside wraps, or the like, the ends of the lacing of the boxplait are to be loosened at the bottom, to permit the box-plait to expand to the necessary size, and adapt itself generally to the curves of the back and of the clothing, the increased size ofthe armholes permitting the arms with any larger sleeve to be inserted at a greater or less depth in the sleeves of the garment, as the ease may require. When the garment is to be worn over lighter goods or smaller garments, but still retaining the bustle or pannier, the lacing of the boxplait is to be drawn up so as to reduce the width of the back, by taking in a part of the expanded portion of the box-plait and then drawing up the belt-tape, thus conforming the garment to the shape of the wearer, while allowing the necessary fullness for the bustle, making it a close-fitting, stylish garment.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. As a new article of manufacture, a waterproof garment having a box-plait opening in@ Ward, the upper extremity being secured to the garment at the collar, so as to present an unbroken surface, and a lacing-cord adapted to conform the back of the garment to thc shape and thickness of different fashions and kinds of garments, substantially as set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a waterproof garment having a box-plait opening inward, its upper extremity being secured to the garment at the collar, so as to present an unbroken surface, a lacingcord, and a waistband, F, substantially as set forth.
3. As a new article of manufacture, a waterproof garment having a box-plait opening inward, with its upper extremity secured to the garment, so as to present an unbroken surface,
and its lower extremity running out into the u fullness of the goods at the skirt, a lacing-cord, asecondary box-plait or series of gathers, G, and a belt-tape, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
