ABSTRACT:
A garment system for the full or partial enclosure of the torso, preferably in the form of a ladies bathing suit. The garment system includes a first central portion which constitutes a first ornamental region. The central portion is formed of front and rear body panels, the extents of which are defined by lateral perimeters. The lateral perimeters include first cooperative fastening elements, which perimeters define the geometry of the first ornamental region. Further provided are left and right portions proportioned to encircle the left and right sides of the torso. The left and right portions constitute second and third ornamental regions, which regions are defined by lateral perimeters, which perimeters include second cooperative fastening elements complemental to the first cooperative fastening elements of the central portion. Yet further provided is a second central portion, co-extensive in shape and perimeter with the first central portion and having like perimetric cooperative fastening elements to those of a first central portion. The second central portion constitutes a fourth ornamental region which may be selectably interchanged through the selective use of the first and second cooperative fastening elements, with the first ornamental region of the first central portion, thusly effecting a different appearance of the garment through the interchangeability of different central portions. In the alternative, different left and right portions may be interchanged. Additionally, the area of the crotch of the central portion may be selectably opened, precluding the need to entirely remove the garment.
