and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described

This invention relates to pinafores and the like garments and its object is to
provide means whereby they may be worn as simple sleeveless garments or be
combined and worn with removable fronts or bodices and sleeves.
A garment constructed according to this invention consists essentially of two
parts. One of these parts, the outer one of the combination, is a simple sleeveless
pinafore or the like, and may be worn alone as such. The other part, the oner, of
the combination, is adapted to fit within the outer and consists of a short bodice or
jacket the sleeves of which pass through the armholes in the pinafore. This latter
may have any desired shape pattern or ornamentation, but it is preferably formed
with a low or open neck to display the bodice when the two are worn together.

page_text: In order that our invention may be more readily understood we have hereto
appended sheets of drawings reference to which is made hereinafter.
Figures 1 and 2 show respectively the inner and the outer parts of the garment
which are shewn combined in Figure 3.
A is the short jacket or bodice adapted to fit around the chest or shoulders and
provided with the sleeves B; it may be provided with buttons or with any other
suitable fastening device. C is the outer sleeveless garment or pinafore having
arm holes or shoulder straps and formed to any desired pattern or design and with
any required ornamentation. The bodice A is placed within the upper part of the
pinafore C the sleeves of the former being passed through the arm holes of the
latter as illustrated in Figure 3. The two may be secured together if desired by
means of books and eyes, buttons, or other similar or equivalent devices. In the
example shewn one of the buttons of the bodice passes through a button hole
formed in the front of the outer garment which may additionally be furnished with
eyes to engage with hooks on the bodice.
The two parts of the combination garment may be of the same or of different
materials and colours.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A pinafore or similar garment consisting of two parts combined and arranged
substantially as herein before described and as illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
