Abstract: A robe-like garment for use in changing clothes is large and loose-fitting on the wearer, with a hood, a large neck opening and a pair of short enlarged-diameter sleeves. In the front of the changing robe is a large central pocket which is accessible by zipper from the outside front of the garment and is also accessible from the inside of the garment. The changing robe is sufficiently roomy to permit the user to disrobe and change clothes inside the robe, retrieving clothing to be worn from the interior access of the large pocket, and placing the changed clothing in the same pocket. The sleeves of the robe are short enough and have large enough openings to permit convenient withdrawal of the user's arms to the interior of the robe. In a preferred embodiment the garment is formed of a liquid-absorbent terry cloth. The changing robe is useful in situations such a public beaches, for changing into and out of swimming gear.
