range and combine these parts so that the wearer can readily put on and take oil the garment and adjust the same to wearers having different figures; to combine the parts in such manner to avoid unnecessary full-v ness around the waist andprovide the desired fullness about the hip make the parts of suitable'form and pattern to facilitate the manufacture of garments-of the kind described.

I accomplish these objects by the structure shown in the accompanying drawings, in

which-- I Figure-.1 is afront elevation of a garment constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is an underneath plan of said garment. Fig.3.is a section taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a vertical section of'the lower garment, including the combined skirt and drawers, taken on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2. 5 is a pattern of one side of the combined skirt-front and drawers-front. Fig. 6 is a pattern of. Fig. 7 is a pattern of the skirt-back.

The lower garment is formed by sewing togetherthe skirt-front 1, the drawers-back 2-, and the skirt-back 5 along the lines 6, 7 ,and' 8. The-lower edge 9 of extend. along the line 10 shown in Figs.'5 and 6, but will be free from the drawers-legs ex cept at each end. The seam between the edges 6 and 7 of the skirt-front and drawers.- back will be extended below the line 10 to the lower edge of said parts. The edge 1110f the drawers-back is sewed to the edge 12 of the skirt-front along the dotted line 13. When the combined skirt and drawersare provided with an upper garment 14, the latter is sewed to .the upper edges 15, 16, and 17 of the combined skirt and drawers. The parts are here suitably formed to receive a tie string or ribs and legs, and to.

one side of the drawers-back.

T 1e, material of the skirt-front is cut of proper size to .QIllllb of the overlapping at 20 and 22, and allow for the plaits 23 and 24. The parts 1 and 2 are made in duplicate. The two drawers-backs 2 are sewed togeth or along the edge 25 (shown in Fig. 6) .to iorm the seam 26. {Shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4.) i v The edge27 of the skirt front l is folded or turned in from the upper part of. the line 13 along the line 28 to the waistline, (see Fig. 5,) so as to-give the overlapping part 2 1 the ell'ect of a )lait, as shown in Fig. 3.
