Abstract
A garment is constructed of a plurality of interchangeable panels. A mirror pair of side panels is selectively attached to a center panel by various attachment means, e.g., a zipper. Each panel includes two designed surfaces, an inner surface and an outer surface, where the inner surface and the outer surface are interchangeable. Accordingly, a complete garment can be configured having various color and design pattern fabric combinations in similar concepts and different designs or cuts.

A garment construction for a dress, comprising three panels:
- a first side panel having a first face, a second face, a first edge, and a first hem edge, the first edge and the first hem edge forming the entire periphery of the first side panel, the first side panel forming an entire side of said dress, the first face and the second face of the first side panel having different looks;
- a second side panel having a first face, a second face, a second edge, and a second hem edge, the second edge and the second hem edge forming the entire periphery of the second side panel, the shape of the first panel mirroring the shape of the second panel, and the second side panel forming another entire side of said dress, the first face and the second face of the second side panel having different looks;
- and
- a center panel having a first face, a second face, the first and second faces each being a single piece of material, the center panel further comprising a third edge, a third hem edge, a fourth edge, and a fourth hem edge, wherein the third edge, third hem edge, fourth edge, and fourth hem edge form the entire periphery of the center panel, the center panel forming both a front and back of the dress when the first and second side panels are attached and the center panel having a central neck opening,
- wherein the first side panel, the second panel and the center panel form an entire, substantially tubular dress without other panels,
- wherein the first and second side panels attach to and detach from the center panel by attachment means provided on the entire first, second, third, and fourth edges of the panels, said first edge being releasably attachable to the third edge, said second edge being releasably attachable to the fourth edge, wherein when the first, second, and center panels are attached, the first, second, third and fourth hem edges are aligned and form a continuous bottom hem edge of the dress, and
- whereby the first side panel, the second side panel and the center panel are each entirely and independently reversible and attachable to form the dress, which is configurable into at least four different looks.
