Abstract
A clothing garment accessory includes a metal strip configured to be positioned inside an existing garment fabric while being worn by a user. The strip is flexible and configured to be morphed into a coiled helical shape at a bottom hem of the existing garment fabric. The metal strip is further configured to create a knot-like appearance at the bottom hem of the existing garment fabric. The metal strip is hidden from ambient lines of sight exterior of the existing garment fabric when the knot-like appearance exists at the bottom hem of the existing garment fabric.
Claims20
A garment accessory for creating a knot-like appearance in a garment fabric, said garment accessory comprising:
- a metal strip configured to be positioned inside an existing garment fabric while being worn by a user, said metal strip being flexible and further being configured to be morphed into a coiled helical shape at a bottom hem of the existing garment fabric, said metal strip further being configured to create a knot-like appearance at the bottom hem of the existing garment fabric, wherein said metal strip is hidden from ambient lines of sight exterior of the existing garment fabric when said knot-like appearance exists at the bottom hem of the existing garment fabric.
A method for creating a knot-like appearance in a garment fabric, said method comprising the chronological steps of:
- providing a garment fabric;
- a user wearing the garment fabric over an upper torso of the user;
- providing and positioning a metal strip inside said garment fabric worn by the user, said metal strip being flexible;
- morphing said metal strip into a coiled helical shape at a bottom hem of said garment fabric;
- and
- said metal strip creating a knot-like appearance at said bottom hem of said garment fabric;
- wherein said metal strip is hidden from ambient lines of sight exterior of said garment fabric when said knot-like appearance exists at said bottom hem of said garment fabric.
A method for creating a knot-like appearance in a garment fabric, said method comprising the chronological steps of:
- providing and wearing a clothing garment over an upper torso of a user body;
- providing a metal strip;
- pulling out a bottom hem of the clothing garment in front of the user;
- holding the clothing garment at the bottom hem;
- positioning the metal strip underneath the clothing garment such that the metal strip is intercalated between the user stomach and the clothing garment;
- positioning a bottom edge of the metal strip above the bottom hem of the clothing garment;
- vertically orienting the metal strip relative to a longitudinal length of the clothing garment;
- gripping the bottom edge of the metal strip and pushing it towards an anterior direction into the clothing garment so that the metal strip upwardly and frictionally engages the posterior side of the clothing garment;
- with one hand, gripping the bottom hem of the clothing garment together with the bottom edge of the metal strip and, with the other hand, firmly gripping an upper portion of the clothing garment together with the top edge of the metal strip;
- while firmly holding the top edge of the metal strip and upper portion of the clothing garment at a fixed and stationary position, contemporaneously rotating the bottom hem of the clothing garment and the bottom edge of the metal strip together about the top edge of the metal strip and upper portion of the clothing garment such that the metal strip begins to form a coiled shape and thereby creating a loop and a knot-like appearance in the clothing garment;
- sliding a user metacarpal out from the loop at the top edge of the metal strip and upper portion of the clothing garment;
- and
- continuing to rotate the metal strip until a desired shape of the knot-like appearance is achieved.
