Halter top with attachable accessories

Abstract

Separate attachable collar segments as clothing accessory items for installation onto straps of a halter top blouse to form a collared garment, where the collar segments are installed so as to face oppositely from each of the halter top straps, and are quickly and easily removed or repositioned. Also, for additional utility to the detachable halter top collar segments, each can include a mounting section on under surfaces thereof, that each provide for an attachment to an end of a removable shawl and hood, such that, when the shawl and hood ends are mounted to the collar segments it will drape from the wearer's neck area and down their back, and, when the shawl and hood is pulled up over the wearer's head, becomes a hood.

Clothing accessories for a halter top garment comprising, a pair of separate, mirror image, collar segments each having triangular shaped forward ends, base sides that each connect at a rear end to an outwardly sloping outer side that terminates at a triangle apex, which said collar segments are for fitting to each of said straps to extend outwardly therefrom; and releasable coupling means for joining said collar segments onto said straps such that said collar segments form an open collar for said halter top garment. 
     
     
         2 . Clothing accessories as recited in  claims 1 , wherein the releasable coupling means consists of pairs of hook and loop pads that, when pressed together, couple together and will separate from one another when pulled apart, and each said pad includes means for securing it onto, respectively, one of the collar segments undersurface and onto an undersurface of one of the straps, such that each said collar segment extends outwardly from each said strap, forming the open collar of the halter top garment. 
     
     
         3 . Clothing accessories for a halter top garment as recited in  claim 2  wherein each collar segment is secured along its base side to the undersurface of each strap, is folded around said strap inner edge, and across the top surface of each said strap such that each of said collar segments extends oppositely and outwardly from each said strap, and in the plane of said straps, forming the open collar.
