  • Patent number: 4566136
    Abstract: A nursing blouse to provide breast concealment during nursing. The blouse has a front portion provided with an elongated opening adapted to expose the breast for nursing. A concealment flap or ruffle is connected to the blouse which extends along the opening and is of a sufficient width to extend over the opening to cover and conceal the breast while the infant is nursing. A zipper or slide fastener is provided to open and close the opening. By connection of the zipper strip to the underside of the blouse alongside the opening the blouse may be closed to butt the edges of the blouse along the opening to give the appearance of a seam or the like and conceal the zipper.
