Abstract
An adjustable garment includes an article of clothing having a first fastener element defining a first portion and a second portion of the article of clothing. The adjustable garment also includes a second fastener element associated with the article of clothing disposed a predetermined distance from the first fastener element. The second fastener element defines a third portion of the article of clothing adjacent the second portion. The second fastener element is operable to associate with the first fastener element to allow ready attachment of the first portion to the third portion. The second fastener element is further operable to disassociate from the first fastener element to allow ready detachment of the first portion from the third portion.
Claims41

- an article of clothing;
- a first fastener element associated with the article of clothing, the first fastener element defining a first portion and a second portion of the article of clothing, the first and second portions comprising adjacent portions of a single piece of clothing material;
- and
- a second fastener element associated with the article of clothing disposed a predetermined distance from the first fastener element, the second fastener element defining a third portion of the article of clothing adjacent the second portion, the second fastener element operable to associate with the first fastener element to allow ready attachment of the first portion to the third portion, the second fastener element further operable to disassociate from the first fastener element to allow ready detachment of the first portion from the third portion.
An adjustable garment comprising:
- an article of clothing;
- a first fastener element associated with the article of clothing, the first fastener element defining a first portion and a second portion of the article of clothing;
- a second fastener element associated with the article of clothing disposed a predetermined distance from the first fastener element, the second fastener element defining a third portion of the article of clothing adjacent the second portion, the second fastener element operable to associate with the first fastener element to allow ready attachment of the first portion to the third portion, the second fastener element further operable to disassociate from the first fastener element to allow ready detachment of the first portion from the third portion;
- and
- a third fastener element coupled to the article of clothing, the third fastener element defining a fourth portion of the article of clothing adjacent the third portion, the third fastener element operable to associate with the first fastener element allowing ready attachment of the fourth portion to the first portion, the third fastener element further operable to disassociate from the first fastener element allowing ready detachment of the fourth portion from the first portion.
A method for fabricating an adjustable garment comprising:
- associating a first fastener element with an article of clothing, the first fastener element defining a first portion and a second portion of the article of clothing, the first and second portions comprising adjacent portions of a single piece of clothing material;
- and
- associating a second fastener element with the article of clothing a predetermined distance from the first fastener element, the second fastener element defining a third portion of the article of clothing adjacent the second portion, wherein the second fastener element is operable to associate with the first fastener element allowing ready attachment of the first portion to the third portion, the second fastener element further operable to disassociate from the first fastener element allowing ready detachment of the first portion from the third portion.
A method for fabricating an adjustable garment comprising:
- associating a first fastener element with an article of clothing, the first fastener element defining a first portion and a second portion of the article of clothing;

- and
- associating a third fastener element with the article of clothing, the third fastener element defining a fourth portion of the article of clothing adjacent the third portion, wherein the third fastener element is operable to associate with the first fastener element allowing ready attachment of the fourth portion to the first portion, the third fastener element further operable to disassociate from the first fastener element allowing ready detachment of the first portion from the fourth portion.
An adjustable garment comprising:
- an article of clothing having a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, wherein the third portion is disposed between the first and second portions, and wherein the first and third portions comprise adjacent portions of a single piece of clothing material;
- a first fastener element coupled to the article of clothing between the first and third portions;
- and
- a second fastener element coupled to the article of clothing between the second and third portions, the second fastener element operable to readily associate with the first fastener element to conceal the third portion within an interior area of the garment, the second fastener element further operable to readily disassociate from the first fastener element to reveal the third portion.
An adjustable garment comprising:
- an article of clothing having a first portion, a second portion, a third portion, and a fourth portion, wherein the third portion is disposed between the first and second portions, and wherein the second portion is disposed between the third and fourth portions;
- a first fastener element coupled to the article of clothing between the first and third portions;
- a second fastener element coupled to the article of clothing between the second and third portions, the second fastener element operable to readily associate with the first fastener element to conceal the third portion within an interior area of the garment, the second fastener element further operable to readily disassociate from the first fastener element to reveal the third portion;
- and
- a third fastener element coupled to the article of clothing between the second and fourth portions, the third fastener element operable to readily associate with the first fastener element to conceal the second and third portions within the interior area of the garment, the third fastener element further operable to readily disassociate from the first fastener element to reveal the second and third portions.
An adjustable garment comprising:
- an article of clothing having an interior surface and an exterior surface;
- a first fastener element having a forwardly facing surface and a rearwardly facing surface, the rearwardly facing surface of the first fastener element coupled to the exterior surface of the article of clothing to define a first portion and a second portion of the article of clothing;
- and
- a second fastener element having a forwardly facing surface and a rearwardly facing surface, the rearwardly facing surface of the second fastener element coupled to the exterior surface of the article of clothing a predetermined distance from the first fastener element to define a third portion of the article of clothing adjacent the second portion, the second fastener element operable to associate with the first fastener element to allow ready attachment of the first portion to the third portion, the second fastener element further operable to disassociate from the first fastener element to allow ready detachment of the first portion from the third portion.
