  • Patent number: 5566393
    Abstract: A reversible skirt suitable for cheerleading is disclosed which provides for active movement of the wearer, and desirable movement and visual effects of the skirt during wearing. Preferably, the skirt is constructed of 8-20 panels which are each sewn only partially along their length to adjoining panels. Alternatively, a skirt can be made from at least one panel into which slits are cut to form a visual effect of pleats. Different colors can be used for each side of the skirt and the alternate color is partially visible when either skirt is worn for increased visual variety.
