Abstract:
1. A system of constructing an article of clothing without sewn seams, comprising: a plurality of reversible panels, each having a pair of outer surfaces, each panel formed by a pair of fabric layers having a face side, the fabric layers attached together so that the face sides of the fabric layers are on the outer surfaces of the panels and the panels each having a plurality of edges; a plurality of two-headed button studs, having a shaft with a pair of ends and a pair of button heads attached orthogonally to the pair of ends, a button head on each end; and a plurality of buttonholes, each with a thru bore, and disposed along and adjacent to the edges of the reversible panels wherein a user arranges the panels to form an article of clothing by overlapping the edges of the panels, matching the buttonholes of the panels that the user wants to join to form the article of clothing, forming a plurality of buttonhole pairs and inserting the two-headed button studs into the thru bore, one in each buttonhole pair so that one button head is on the outer surface of each panel to attach the panels together to form the article of clothing without sewn seams wherein the article of clothing is a bodice formed from four reversible bodice panels having an obverse side and a mirror-image inverse side, a bottom diagonal edge, diagonally sloping downward toward the a first side, a top shoulder edge, a first side medial edge, extending upwardly about three-quarters of the length of the panel from the bottom diagonal edge, a neckline edge extending downwardly toward the first side, diagonally connecting the shoulder edge and the medial edge, a second side having a side edge extending upwardly about two-thirds of the length of the panel, a second side concave armhole with an edge connecting the second side edge and the shoulder edge, and a small oblique edge sloping upwardly from the bottom diagonal edge towards the medial edge at an obtuse angle, the panels forming the bodice by the user taking four bodice panels, a pair laid out on the obverse side and a pair laid out on the inverse side and attaching the edges of the observe sides to the edges of the inverse sides by overlapping the medial edges of the obverse sides with the medial edges of the inverse sides, and overlapping the side edges of the obverse sides with the side edges inverse sides and matching the buttonholes adjacent to the edges to form a plurality of buttonhole pairs, and inserting the two-headed button studs, one in each buttonhole pair to attach the panels together by a pair of joined medial edges and a pair of joined side edges to form the bodice without sewn seams.
