Abstract

A functional and fashionable wrap for wearing by a mother, such as a button-down sweater. The wrap includes features for wrapping a baby for breastfeeding, consoling, or merely carrying. The wrap includes additional features, such as: pockets conveniently located on front and back deep enough for bottles, phones, monitors, pacifiers, and other accessories; grosgrain ribbon loops on each shoulder to attach teethers, pacifiers, and baby toys; connectors on both sides to wrap baby for warmth and/or holding support; flexible, stretchy fabric to wrap baby for back support; and a front opening which allows easy access for nursing mothers.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 
     
         1 . A clothing apparatus comprising:
 a first side and a second side joined by a rear portion forming a garment, said first side having a first external connector, a first internal connector, and a first plurality of elastic connectors, and said second side having a second external connector, a second internal connector, and a second plurality of elastic connectors;   said first external connector configured to be connected to by a selected one of said second plurality of elastic connectors;   said second external connector configured to be connected to by a selected one of said first plurality of elastic connectors; and   said garment configured to be transformed from a first orientation to a second orientation.   
     
     
         2 . The clothing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said second orientation comprises said selected one of said first plurality of elastic connectors being affixed to said second internal connector, and said selected one of said second plurality of elastic connectors being affixed to said first external connector. 
     
     
         3 . The clothing apparatus of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 said second orientation configured to form a support chamber from said first side and said second side, said support chamber configured to secure a body.   
     
     
         4 . The clothing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said second orientation comprises said selected one of said second plurality of elastic connectors being affixed to said first internal connector, and said selected one of said first plurality of elastic connectors being affixed to said second external connector. 
     
     
         5 . The clothing apparatus of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 said second orientation configured to form a support chamber from said first side and said second side, said support chamber configured to secure a body.   
     
     
         6 . The clothing apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first grosgrain ribbon loop affixed to said first side and a second grosgrain ribbon loop affixed to said second side; and   wherein said first and second grosgrain ribbon loops configured to receive a clip.   
     
     
         7 . The clothing apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 wherein said first side comprises a first tapered bottom front end; and   wherein said second side has a second tapered bottom front end.   
     
     
         8 . A method of transforming a clothing apparatus from a first, worn orientation to a second, support orientation, the method comprising the steps:
 connecting a first elastic connector of a first side of the clothing apparatus to an internal connector of a second side of the clothing apparatus, wherein said internal connector is affixed to an internal face of said second side, and wherein said first and second sides are connected via a rear portion, thereby comprising a garment;   connecting a second elastic connector of said second side to an external connector of said first, wherein said external connector is affixed to an external face of said second side; and   whereby said second side end and said second side thereby form a support chamber for securing a body.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising the steps:
 connecting a plurality of baby accessories to a first and second grosgrain ribbon loop, wherein each of said first and second grosgrain ribbon loops are affixed to a respective one of said first and second sides.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 wherein said first elastic connector is one of a first plurality of elastic connectors affixed to an end of said first side; and   wherein said second elastic connector is one of a second plurality of elastic connectors affixed to an end of said second side.
