Abstract
A garment design permits a light source to be retained in a desired position in which it emits light across a layer portion of the garment or material carried thereon. The transmission of light can either be by virtue of a sufficient sheerness of garment material or other material carried thereon at least in the region of transmission or a cutout which permits passage of light from one side of the material in contact with the light source to other side facing the outside. The light source is conveniently a chemiluminescent light stick which can be received and retained in a suitably shaped and sized pocket provided interior or exterior of the garment.
