Separable one-piece garments

Abstract

This disclosure relates to a system and method for constructing a separable one-piece garment. The system may include a top coupling along a waist portion of an upper body garment. The upper body garment may include a neckhole, a first armhole, a second armhole, a first waist opening, and a torso portion. In some implementations, the system may include a bottom coupling along a waist portion of a lower body garment the lower body garment may comprise a waist opening, a main portion, and one or more leg holes. The upper body garment and the lower body garment may be separated and/or joined utilizing the top and bottom coupling.

         2 . The separable one-piece garment of  claim 1 , wherein the top coupling comprises a first top track and a second top track sewn in an anterior and posterior side of the upper body garment, respectively. 
     
     
         3 . The separable one-piece garment of  claim 2 , wherein the first top track and the second top track are sewn in parallel with a seam near a hem of the upper body garment on the anterior side and posterior side of the upper body garment, respectively, the first top track and the second top track configured to removably couple with a first bottom track and a second bottom track of the lower body garment. 
     
     
         4 . The separable one-piece garment of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom coupling comprises a first bottom track and a second bottom track sewn in an anterior and posterior side of the lower body garment, respectively. 
     
     
         5 . The separable one-piece garment of  claim 4 , wherein the first bottom track and the second bottom track are sewn in parallel along the second waist opening on the anterior and posterior sides of the lower body garment, respectively, the first bottom track and the second bottom track configured to removably couple with a first top track and a top bottom track of the upper body garment. 
     
     
         6 . The separable one-piece garment of  claim 1 , wherein the top coupling and/or the bottom coupling comprise one or more of a one tooth track, a spiral metal coil, and/or a spiral plastic coil. 
     
     
         7 . The separable one-piece garment of  claim 1 , wherein the top coupling and/or the bottom coupling comprise one or more elastic strips sewn inside of a hem of the upper body garment and/or the lower body garment, respectively. 
     
     
         8 . The separable one-piece garment of  claim 7 , wherein the top coupling comprises the one or more elastic strips sewn inside of the hem of the upper body garment, and wherein the one or more elastic strips are configured to wrap around the first waist opening and are sewn on an underside of the upper body garment and along a same seam as the top coupling and one or more hems. 
     
     
         9 . The separable one-piece garment of  claim 7 , wherein the one or more elastic strips are sewn into edges at each end of the bottom coupling and one or more hems on an underside of the lower body garment and along a same seam as the bottom coupling. 
     
     
         10 . The separable one-piece garment of  claim 1 , wherein one or more elastic strips are configured to create a base for the top and bottom couplings and prevent a gapping appearance between an edge of the first and second waist openings that does not contain the top and/or the bottom coupling and also keeps the top and/or bottom coupling from rubbing on a skin portion of a wearer. 
     
     
         11 . A method for constructing a separable one-piece garment, the method comprising
 attaching a top coupling along a first waist portion of an upper body garment, the upper body garment comprising a neckhole, a first armhole, a second armhole, a first waist opening, and a torso portion;   attaching a bottom coupling along a second waist portion of a lower body garment, the lower body garment comprising a second waist opening, a main portion, and one or more leg holes; and   separating and/or joining the upper body garment and the lower body garment utilizing the top and bottom coupling.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the top coupling comprises a first top track and a second top track in an anterior and posterior side of the upper body garment, respectively. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the first top track and the second top track are sewn in parallel with a seam near a hem of the upper body garment on the anterior side and posterior side of the upper body garment, respectively, the first top track and the second top track configured to removably couple with a first bottom track and a second bottom track of the lower body garment. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the bottom coupling comprises a first bottom track and a second bottom track in an anterior and posterior side of the lower body garment, respectively. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the first bottom track and the second bottom track are sewn in parallel with along the second waist opening on the anterior and posterior sides of the lower body garment, respectively, the first bottom track and the second bottom track configured to removably couple with a first top track and a top bottom track of the upper body garment. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the top coupling and/or the bottom coupling comprise one or more of a one tooth track, a spiral metal coil, and/or a spiral plastic coil. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the top coupling and/or the bottom coupling comprise one or more elastic strips sewn inside of a hem of the upper body garment and/or the lower body garment, respectively. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the one or more elastic strips are configured to wrap around the first waist opening and are sewn on an underside of the upper body garment and along a same seam as the top coupling and one or more hems. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the one or more elastic strips are sewn into the edges at each end of the bottom coupling and one or more hems on an underside of the lower body garment and along a same seam as the bottom coupling. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein one or more elastic strips are configured to create a base for the top and bottom couplings and prevent a gapping appearance between an edge of the first and second waist openings that does not contain the top and/or the bottom coupling and also keeps the top and/or bottom coupling from rubbing on a skin portion of a wearer.
