Garments with front opening seams

Abstract

A one piece garment having a bottom portion with two leg openings connected to a openable torso portion with two arm openings and a neck opening with closable seams on the left and right front shoulder and arm sections of the garment with detachably fastenable closure means intermittently spaced on adjacent mating edges for dressing an infant, an invalid or oneself without effort or difficulty. The top portion's detachably fastenable closure means begins at the front of the neck opening and continues across the front of the shoulder section; or at the front of the neck opening down the sleeve to an unopenable sleeve cuff banding or all the way down the sleeve to the cuff banding, allowing for the complete opening of the sleeve. Alternatively, the bottom and top portions can be two separate garments. The top portion's detachably fastenable closure means also begins at the front of the neck opening and continues across the shoulder section; or at the front of the neck opening down the shirt sleeve to an unopenable sleeve cuff banding or all the way down the shirt sleeve to the cuff banding, allowing for complete opening of the sleeve. The bottom portion's detachably fastenable closure means begins at the torso opening and continues down the front or slightly offset on the front leg section to the unopenable pant leg cuff banding or down the pant leg section to the openable pant leg cuff banding, allowing for complete opening of the pant leg. The intermittently spaced detachably fastenable closure means can also be used as a means of adjusting the length of the arm or leg portions of the garment when they are to long or as a means to close the arm or leg portion open ends of the garment so the hands or feet do not extend out of the arm or leg openings. The intermittently spaced detachably fastenable closure means comprises buttons, snaps, zippers, hook and loop patches, zip lock fasteners, magnets, etc. secured to or sewn into or onto the garment's openable and closable seam joining edges.
