  • Patent number: 5079779
    Abstract: A woman's shirt that is normally of hip length and is convertible into a shirt of waist length that in a first wearing mode has an underlying halter integral therewith, and in a second wearing mode an overlying halter. The shirt front is defined by left and right panels that can be buttoned together or left open, the back being of greater length to form a rear section that extends below the front. Extending across and normally covering the rear section is a fabric band whose ends are sewn to corresponding ends of the rear section and whose upper margin is joined by releasable fasteners to the lower margin of the left and right panels, the lower margin of the band being free. Complementary components of a connector are attached to the lower left and right corners of the band. To convert the shirt to the first wearing mode, the wearer releases the band from the panels, and then raises the band under the panels and over her head, thereby causing the band to yoke the neck of the wearer and to cover her bust.
