Adjustable Childs Skirt System

Abstract

The Adjustable Child's Skirt System includes a skirt and a foundation garment, such as a jumpsuit. The skirt removably attaches to the foundation garment. This removable attachment serves a number of purposes, including: preventing the skirt from riding up, or sliding down, the child's body; simplifying placement of the skirt on the child, which is especially important when the child is moving while being dressed; and preventing the skirt from twisting around the child, which could result in discomfort if the knot ends up under the child's back.

 a. a first garment and a second garment,   b. wherein the first garment is a skirt with a waistband;   c. wherein the second garment is a jumpsuit; and   d. wherein the first garment releasably attaches to the second garment.
