• and
• attaching a first portion of the second extension to at least a portion of the first side of the first extension, and attaching a second portion of the second extension to a region of the garment proximal at least a portion of said edge of the garment, such that the second extension overlaps the at least a portion of the first side of the first extension, the at least a portion of said edge of the garment, and said region of the garment proximal at least said portion of said edge of the garment.
