The garment includes two rectangular panels affixed at the shoulders, having a central neck opening and open sides. Ties are provided for releasable connection of a portion of the sides of the panels during use. The printed instructions and graphics are positioned upside-down on the front panel so the wearer can read them while wearing the garment.
