Abstract
A modular garment including first and second panels. The first and second panels are aligned with one another such that the first panel first side edge aligns with the second panel second side edge and the first panel second side edge aligns with the second panel side edge and wherein the at least one first panel male connector releasably engages the at least one second panel female connector and the at least one first panel female connector releasably engages the at least one second panel male connector to releasably interconnect the first and second panels to define the garment.
Claims12
A modular garment system comprising:
- a top garment comprising:
- a first top panel having a body between top and bottom edges and opposed first and second side edges, wherein the first side edge of the first top panel includes at least one male connector affixed proximate thereto, the second side edge of the first top panel includes at least one female connector affixed proximate thereto, and the bottom edge of the first top panel includes at least one male connector affixed proximate thereto;
- and
- a second top panel having a body between top and bottom edges and opposed first and second side edges, wherein the first side edge of the second top panel includes at least one female connector affixed proximate thereto, the second side edge of the second top panel includes at least one male connector affixed proximate thereto, and the bottom edge of the second top panel includes at least one male connector affixed proximate thereto;
- a bottom garment comprising:
- a first bottom panel having a body between top and bottom edges and opposed first and second side edges, wherein the first side edge of the first bottom panel includes at least one male connector affixed proximate thereto, the second side edge of the first bottom panel includes at least one female connector affixed proximate thereto, and the top edge of the first bottom panel includes at least one female connector affixed proximate thereto;
- and
- a second bottom panel having a body between top and bottom edges and opposed first and second side edges, wherein the first side edge of the second bottom panel includes at least one female connector affixed proximate thereto, the second side edge of the second bottom panel includes at least one male connector affixed proximate thereto, and the top edge of the second bottom panel includes at least one female connector affixed proximate thereto;
- and
- at least one expander panel comprising:
- a first upper side edge having at least one female connector affixed proximate thereto;
- a second upper side edge having at least one male connector affixed proximate thereto, the second upper side edge opposing the first upper side edge;
- a first lower side edge having at least one male connector affixed proximate thereto;
- and
- a second lower side edge having at least one female connector affixed proximate thereto, the second lower side edge opposing the first lower side edge;
- wherein the at least one expander panel is configured to be selectively attachable to the first top panel, the second top panel, the first bottom panel, and the second bottom panel, and further wherein the top garment is configured to be selectively attachable to the bottom garment by the at least one male connector affixed proximate to the respective bottom edges of the first top panel and the second top panel and the at least one female connector affixed proximate to the respective top edges of the first bottom panel and the second bottom panel.
