  • Patent number: 12453387
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to convert clothing for sexual interest, bondage and power play. The clothing includes convertible dresses, convertible jacket or convertible skirt. An outer layer of the clothing is formed of a rigid layer to serve as a restraining element in bondage or power play for sexual interest. An under base layer can be formed of a flexible material to protect the skin from undesired friction from the outer layer. Fastening and release mechanisms are used for coupling the under base layer to the outer layer and removal of the under base layer from the outer layer. The fastening and release mechanisms can be used to expeditiously detach the under base layer from the outer layer without the need to manipulate the outer layer. The under base layer can be decoupled from the outer layer transforming the garment into sexual paraphernalia, such as a bondage cage.
