Abstract
The present invention concerns an improved article of clothing for nursing, with features that enhance the user's ability to selectively and controllably expose one or both breasts while simultaneously presenting a more secure and stylish look, both when in use and when not in use. The invention allows for individual or dual breast access in a non-obvious form that can provide as much breast coverage as the mother feels comfortable with. When access to the breast is not in use, the clothing shows no signs of having specific nursing functionality. The invention can be applied to articles of clothing in many fashion design style forms. The invention is also able to optionally provide breast support via an internal brassier, and nipple protection via removable pads.
