Adjustable garment

Abstract

A clothing garment is constructed to include adjustable sections that allow for the convenient adjustment of length of sections of the garment so that the useful fitted lifetime of the outfit may be extended. Preferably the method of adjustment includes zippers, Velcro-type materials, buttons, snaps including metallic or plastic snaps, magnets, or any other mechanism that may be used to conveniently attach and detach sections of clothing from each other.
