Abstract

The through-hole provided in the substantially central portion of the cover has a thinness that can be stretched when pulled. It is formed to have such a size that the head of a wearer can tautly pass through it, and when the head passes through it, the cover comes to drape over the abdomen and the back of the wearer, and when the abdomen side is lifted up to expose the face of the wearer protruding from the through-hole, the periphery of the through-hole stretches further and adheres to the skin around the face of the wearer from along the nape, under the ears, to along the forehead.
