Abstract
Improved clothing to be worn by a woman for breast feeding a baby which includes an upper member having a lower edge and a lower member having an upper edge. The upper edge of the lower member is made of such a resilient material that the upper edge tends to assume a nonaccess position, covering the breasts, but which can be pulled down to an access position under the breast to make it accessible to the baby. The upper and lower members are so positioned relative to each other when worn by a woman that at least a portion of the upper member overlaps the lower member. The lower edge of the upper member is suspended to an area below the breast to permit the upper member to shield the breast when the upper edge of the lower member is in either the access or nonaccess positions.
