Abstract
A dress-type garment is formed of one or more strips of fabrics wound helically about the torso of the wearer and having contiguous edges of adjacent convolutions joined by helical seams. A pants-type garment is similarly formed by strips helically wound to form the legs, with upper end portions of the strips cut and joined by a central seam to form the upper portion of the pants. Another embodiment of a dress-type garment is made of first, second and third squares with two adjacent edges of the second square joined to two adjacent edges of the first square and the other two edges of the second square joined to two adjacent edges of the third square.
Claims20
A dress-type garment comprising a body portion formed essentially of an elongate strip of fabric material helically wound about an axis, said strip having a width between approximately eleven inches and twenty-four inches and making at least one complete convolution in a length of about thirty inches measured parallel to said axis and means securing substantially equal lengths of the edges of adjacent convolutions of said [strips] strip together to form a continuous generally cylindrical body.
A dress-type garment comprising a body portion formed essentially of two strips of fabric material helically wound about an axis with convolutions of one of said strips alternating with convolutions of the other of said strips and means securing edges of one of said strips to edges of the other of said strips along helical junction lines to form a continuous generally cylindrical body.
A dress-type garment comprising a body portion formed essentially of a plurality of strips of fabric material wound helically about an axis with convolutions of each of said strips disposed between convolutions of another of said strips and means joining edges of adjacent convolutions of said strips along helical junction lines to form a continuous generally cylindrical body.
A pants-type garment comprising two bands of material each of which is wound helically to form a leg of said garment, means joining edges of adjacent convolutions of said bands, upper end portions of said bands being shaped to form a body portion and means joining an upper portion of one of said bands [with an upper portion of one of said bands] with an upper end portion of the other of said bands along a central junction line.
A dress-type garment comprising a body portion formed essentially of first, second and third squares of fabric material each of which is disposed with one diagonal vertical and the other diagonal horizontal, means joining two adjacent edges of said second square respectively with two adjacent edges of said first square and means joining the remaining two adjacent edges of said second square respectively with two adjacent edges of said third square, a corner portion of said first square between its unjoined edges being shaped to provide a neckline and armholes.
A dress-type garment comprising a body-covering portion formed essentially of an elongate strip of fabric material helically wound about an axis with a pitch of at least one complete convolution in a length of about thirty inches measured parallel to said axis, and means securing substantially equal lengths of the edges of adjacent convolutions of said strip together to form a continuous, generally cylindrical body.
A dress-type garment comprising a body-covering portion formed essentially of an elongate strip of fabric material helically wound about an axis with edges of adjacent convolutions contiguous with one another, and means securing substantially equal lengths of the edges of adjacent convolutions of said strip together to form a continuous, generally cylindrical body.
