FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Generally, the present disclosure relates to garments. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a nursing garment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In present society, there has been an increased need by nursing mothers to be able nurse their child in public without risking exposing themselves. Normally, nursing mothers would desperately try to find a safe location in a public area in which they can nurse in private. However, not every public area has a such a location that would allow a nursing mother to comfortably nurse their child. In some instances, the nursing mother might try to utilize a cover like a blanket to avoid exposure. However, most of the time, this cover is not attached to the user securely; thereby, risking exposure in a public area.

Therefore, there is a need for an improved nursing garment that may overcome one or more of the above-mentioned problems and/or limitations.

Such materials can include, but is not limited to, the following: fabrics, polyester, nylon, cotton, and/or other similarly-related items. It can be preferred that the present disclosure be of an overall size and shape such that the present disclosure can be worn by the user while providing ample covering for the exposed parts of the user's torso while nursing a child. The present disclosure primarily includes an upper garment and a cover-up.

The upper garment can be of any shape, size, material, features, type or kind, orientation, location, quantity, components, and arrangements of components that would allow the present disclosure to fulfill the objectives and intents of the present disclosure. However, it can be preferred that the upper garment be of a material similar to and/or compatible with the material of the present disclosure. It can be preferred that the upper garment be of an overall shape and size similar to the overall shape and size of the present disclosure. It can be preferred that the upper garment be of a type or kind similar to shirts, blouses, and other similarly related objects. The upper garment primarily contains a slit.

The slit can be of any shape, size, material, features, type or kind, orientation, location, quantity, components, and arrangements of components that would allow the present disclosure to fulfill the objectives and intents of the present disclosure. However, it can be preferred that the slit be located across the front of the upper garment such that the apex of the torso of the user can be exposed and reached for by the user. The slit can be orientated in a multitude of ways ranging from horizontally, vertically, and/or diagonally at any angle. When opened, it can be preferred that the slit exposes a wide range of surface area of the apex of the user's torso. The slit primarily includes a fastener.

The fastener can be of any shape, size, material, features, type or kind, orientation, location, quantity, components, and arrangements of components that would allow the present disclosure to fulfill the objectives and intents of the present disclosure. However, it can be preferred that the fastener be located over the opening of the slit. Although it can be preferred that the fastener be of a type or kind similar zippers and such, the fastener can be of other types and kind. Such types and kinds of fasteners can include, but is not limited to, the following: hook-and-loop fasteners, buttons, snap-buttons, buckles-and-straps, magnets, and other similarly related objects.

The present disclosure contains a cover-up. The cover-up can be of any shape, size, material, features, type or kind, orientation, location, quantity, components, and arrangements of components that would allow the present disclosure to fulfill the objectives and intents of the present disclosure. However, it can be preferred that the cover-up be of a material similar to and/or compatible with the material of the present disclosure. It can be preferred that the cover-up be of a general shape and size similar to the general shape and size of the front face of the upper garment. It can be preferred that the top end of the cover-up be attached to the top end of the front of the upper garment such that the rear face of the cover-up is adjacent over the front face of the upper garment while allowing the user to raise and lower the bottom end of the cover-up in order to expose or access the fastener of the slit. In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the cover-up can be attached by a side face of the cover-up to an adjacent side face of the upper garment such that the free end of the cover-up could be moved from side-to-side. In another alternative embodiment, the cover-up could be made detachable from the upper garment by means of additional fasteners similar to the fastener of the slit. In some other alternative embodiments, the free end of the cover-up could be made attachable and detachable from the opposing face of the upper garment by means of additional fasteners similar to fastener of the previously discussed alternative embodiments.
