Multi-use and multi-style garment

Abstract

A mutli-use and multi-style garment is shown from a single piece of fabric, having a tubular main portion having both anterior and posterior edges when viewed in elevation, the tubular main portion being adapted to surround desired portions of the body of the wearer; two opposing extensions extending upwardly from the anterior edge of the tubular main portion, the opposing extensions having a lower end connected to the tubular main portion and upper free ends opposite the lower end which can be manipulated in different ways depending on both the desired type and style of clothing; a vertical slit extending downwardly on the anterior edge of at least one side of the tubular main portion to allow for mobility when the garment is worn by the wearer; and wherein, a specific configuration is selected from the group consisting of: when the opposing extensions are crisscrossed and tied about the neck of the wearer, an aperture is created with a diameter proportionate to the length of the garment against the body of the wearer, in which the smaller the diameter of the aperture, the shorter the garment to the point of substantially being a blouse, and the longer the diameter the longer the garment to the point of substantially being a dress; when the opposing extensions are not crisscrossed and tied about the neck of the wearer, substantially no aperture is created and the garment is substantially a dress; when the opposing extensions are not cris-crossed and tied below the armpits of the wearer, the garment is substantially a dress; and when the opposing extensions are not crisscrossed and tied around the waist of the wearer, the garment is substantially a skirt.

1 . A mutli-use and multi-style garment comprising a single piece of fabric to be worn by a wearer, comprising:
 (a) a tubular main portion having both anterior and posterior edges when viewed in elevation, said tubular main portion being adapted to surround desired portions of the body of the wearer;   (b) two opposing extensions extending upwardly from the anterior edge of said tubular main portion, said opposing extensions having a lower end connected to said tubular main portion and upper free ends opposite said lower end which can be manipulated in different ways depending on both the desired type and style of clothing to achieve certain specific configurations;   (c) a vertical slit extending downwardly on the anterior edge of at least one side of said tubular main portion to allow for mobility when the garment is worn by the wearer; and   (d) wherein, a specific configuration is selected from the group of configurations, consisting of:
 (1) when said opposing extensions are cris-crossed and tied about the neck of the wearer of the garment, an aperture is created such that the diameter of the aperture is proportionate to the length of the garment against the body of the wearer, wherein: the smaller the diameter of the aperture, the shorter the garment to the point of substantially being a blouse, and the longer the diameter the longer the garment to the point of substantially being a dress; 
 (2) when said opposing extensions are not crisscrossed and tied about the neck of the wearer, substantially no aperture is created and the garment is substantially a dress; 
 (3) when said opposing extensions are not crisscrossed and tied below the armpits of the wearer, the garment is substantially a dress; and 
 (4) when said opposing extensions are not crisscrossed and tied around the waist of the wearer, the garment is substantially a skirt.
