Abstract:
A method for assembling a garment configured to be worn about the torso of a wearer, the method comprising the steps of:a) cutting from a piece of fabric a pattern that may be oriented to generally define an exterior perimeter by:a horizontal straight 1.sup.st edge having a first end and a second end;a straight 2.sup.nd edge which extends upwardly from the first end of the 1.sup.st edge to an end of the 2.sup.nd edge;a straight 3.sup.rd edge which extends horizontally and inwardly from the end of the 2.sup.nd edge to an end of the 3.sup.rd edge;a straight 4.sup.th edge which extends upwardly from the end of the 3.sup.rd edge to an end of the 4.sup.th edge;a convex 5.sup.th edge which extends downwardly from the end of the 4.sup.th edge to an end of the 5.sup.th edge;a straight 6.sup.th edge which extends upwardly and outwardly from the end of the 5.sup.th edge to an end of the 6.sup.th edge;a concave 7.sup.th edge which extends upwardly from the end of the 6.sup.th edge to an end of the 7.sup.th edge;a straight 8.sup.th edge which extends inwardly from the end of the 7.sup.th edge to an end of the 8.sup.th edge;a concave 9.sup.th edge which extends upwardly and outwardly from the end of the 8.sup.th edge to an end of the 9.sup.th edge;a straight 10.sup.th edge which extends upwardly and outwardly from the end of the 9.sup.th edge to an end of the 10.sup.th edge;a straight 11.sup.th edge which extends upwardly and inwardly from the end of the 10.sup.th edge to an end of the 11.sup.th edge;a straight 12.sup.th edge which extends downwardly and inwardly from the end of the 11.sup.th edge to an end of the 12.sup.th edge;a semicircular concave 13.sup.th edge which extends from the end of the 12.sup.th edge to an end of the 13.sup.th edge;a straight 14.sup.th edge which extends upwardly from the second end of the 1.sup.st edge to an end of the 14.sup.th edge;a straight 15.sup.th edge which extends horizontally and inwardly from the end of the 14.sup.th edge to an end of the 15.sup.th edge;a straight 16.sup.th edge which extends upwardly from the end of the 15.sup.th edge to an end of the 16.sup.th edge;a convex 17.sup.th edge which extends downwardly from the end of the 16.sup.th edge to an end of the 17.sup.th edge;a straight 18.sup.th edge which extends upwardly and outwardly from the end of the 17.sup.th edge to an end of the 18.sup.th edge;a concave 19.sup.th edge which extends upwardly from the end of the 18.sup.th edge to an end of the 19.sup.th edge;a straight 20.sup.th edge which extends inwardly and upwardly from the end of the 19.sup.th edge to an end of the 20.sup.th edge;a concave 21.sup.st edge which extends upwardly and outwardly from the end of the 20.sup.th edge to an end of the 21.sup.st edge;a straight 22.sup.nd edge which extends upwardly and outwardly from the end of the 21.sup.st edge to an end of the 22.sup.nd edge;a straight 23.sup.rd edge which extends upwardly and inwardly from the 22.sup.nd edge to an end of the 23.sup.rd edge; anda straight 24.sup.th edge which extends downwardly and inwardly from the end of the 23.sup.rd edge to the end of the 13.sup.th edge; andb) securing together the edges to form a garment having at least one seam on a first side of the garment, a substantially seamless second side of the garment, two arm openings through which a wearer's arms may extend, and a neck opening through which the wearer's neck may extend, by:securing together the 2.sup.nd and 24.sup.th edges;securing together the 3.sup.rd and 11.sup.th edges;securing together the 4.sup.th and 10.sup.th edges;securing together the 5.sup.th and 9.sup.th edges;securing together the 12.sup.th and 14.sup.th edges;securing together the 15.sup.th and 23.sup.rd edges;securing together the 16.sup.th and 22.sup.nd edges;securing together the 17.sup.th and 21.sup.st edges; andsecuring together the 18.sup.th and 20.sup.th edges.
