To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD J. SEGRELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at N ew ark, county of Essex, State of New Jersey,

5 have invented a new and'useful Petticoat, of

a specification.

providing a pettilapel, adapted to which the following is My invention consists in coat with a placket, and a close the same, said munic-ation with a division in the waistband of the garment, and width-adjustin and fastening devices respectively on said lmnd and lapel, said devices comprisin hooks on the lapel and a series of eyelets c enched on the band, whereby said e elets are firmly connected in position an not liable to be disconnected from the band by the draft of the hooks thereon.

It further consists in forming the. waist band of the arment of a solidtop member and divided ower members pendent there-- from, the divided members being adapted to have the upper edge of the garment .body fitted between them, said band having eyelets elenched thereon, the same being adapted for the engagement of the hooks on the lapel, thus providing a band of great strength, the same reinforcing the edge of the body and furthermore firm] retaining the eyelets in position without lialiility to .be drawn out, an avoiding eyes or other fasteners that'require to be sewedor stitched into position.

It further consists in roviding the lapel with a facing at the top t ereof and in forming the edge of said top in such manner that said facing presents no. humping or buckling and preserves the normal and unbroken condition of the lapel at the top thereof, especially when in use.

For the purpose of ex laining my invention, the accom anying d iawing illustrates a satisfactory red iiction of the same to ira'ctic-e, but the important instrumenta ities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific arrangement and organization shown and described.

. Referring to the drawings :A designates a petticoat which is composed of the body B, the waist band B, the lapel C, and the placket D, said body having in its 11 per portion an opening D which is locate at a different place from the opening D of the lacket D, said openin 'Dand said placket ein located at the si e of the garment towar s the front thereof, while said opening D and the lapel C, which is adapted to cover the same, is at the rear of the garment.

The waist band B has a plurality of vertical divisions B", B, the same communicating respectively with the openings D, D- of the said placket and lapel. In the waist band are a series of eyelets E, which are located on the op osite sides of the division B thereof in the ongitudinal direction of the band and clenched on the latter, thus firmly connecting the e elets with said band.

On the sides 0 the inner face of the lapel C, are hooks F, which are adapted to engage with the corresponding eyelets on opposite sides of the division B so as to retain s lapel in position relatively to the waist size of the wearer of the garment.

The placket-D is provided with hooks G which are ada ted to en age eyelets H on the body B on one side of said lacket and the band B, whereby said placli retained in closed position.

In the formation of the lapel, I take the lenvth J at the center of the rear of the body and cut the upper edge in zig-zag form as at (piece of material from i 9 represents a perspective view ct may be K, and then gather or fold said le n th in lon 1 5 gitudinal direction, forming the fo ds L, the zig-z'ag edge K being also folded imparting to the same a V-shape or one that diverges from center upwardly A facing M is then secured to the upper old said facing being formed of a folded piece of material, between whose members, said ededge of the lapel,

vantageous effect 0 which on the garmentworn over the petticoat being apparent. Furthermore, the facin piece covers and conceals the raw edge of the material of the to of the lapel and strengthens said edge.

En order to reinforce or strengthen the top of the facing M, I apply thereto the binding N, a fabric which is composed of a heac and lengths Q, which are endent from said head and'integral therewit 1, said lengths receiving between them and being secured to the upper portion of the facing and inclosing and concealing the edge of said facing, while strengthening said upper portion.

The waist band B is composed of a head R and lengths S, which are endent from said head and integral therewit said lengths receiving between them and being secured to the upper portion of the body B and inclosed and concealing the raw edge of said body while strengthening said upper ortion, 1t bein also noticed that the eye e'ts E are clenc ed partly on said head R and partly on said lengths, and so are firmly connected with the band B and well enabled to endure the strain to which they are subjected, when the hooks F are connected withsaid eyelets and the garment is in use, itbeing also noticed, that eyes or similar attaching devices heretofore employed and requiring to be sewed or stitched to while the eyelets rest comparatively flat on the waistband and avoid PIOJGOtlOILS thereon.

It will be seen that when the placket and lapel are opened, the garment maybe laced on the body of the wearer. Then the p acket is closed and secured, and the lapel is raised and the hooks F are fitted in the proper eyelets E relatively-to the waist measure of the wearer, it being evident that by .means of said eyelets rovision is made for fasteni the lapel to the band for waists of wearers b varying sizes, whether slender, medium or stout, and furthermore evident that the rear opening or division B in said band is covered .and concealed, as are also the division and opening B, D, and the garment hangs gracefully in position, its 00d fit at the stomach an hips is preserved, the outer surfaces of the lapel C forming a comparatively unbroken curve continuous of the curvature of the outer surface of the len ths of the material at the sides of said la e the continuous alinement at said lapel an lengths thus being preserved under all conditions of adjustment the garment are avoided,

without buckling or humping of the lapel, there is no unsightly gathering of the garlnent over said localities, there is no discomfort in wearin the garment, no sagging of the same, and its length may be adjusted simply by making one or more tucks in the body above the trimming without affecting the general fit of the garment when adjusted at the waist band. Furthermore, the garment may be removed, under ordinary circumstances, by openin the placket 1) without disturbing the lape C, and consequently the waist adj ustm'ent due to the same. The front finish of the body is such that the placket when closed is scarcely perceptible, while it possesses the advantages in connection with the lapel, as hereinbefore set forth.

Fig. 12 shows a portion of the placket D on an enlarged scale. Each ed e portion of the same is reinforced by a binding T, which is similar to the binding N, exceptin that'the former bindin extends in vertica direction I on the respective placket members and its divided len ths U receive the opposite edge portions 0 the body B, which are stitched or otherwise secured to said lengths, thus con-- cealing the raw edges of said ortions, while vastly strengthening the p acket at the Elaces of occupation of the fastening devices Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
