ABSTRACT:
A gathering clip for bridal and other gown trains, capes, and other trailing components of formal wear, is removably securable to the inside structure of the garment along a back central seam allowance therein, thus being completely hidden from view when installed. The clip generally comprises a first and a second link, each of which includes a pin which is used to penetrate the hidden hem or seam allowance which is formed within the back of the gown when the left and right rear panels of the gown and train are constructed. The two links may be removably secured respectively to the back hem of the gown beneath the waistband, and to the underside of the train at some point along the central portion thereof or as desired, and retained by buttons which are snapped over the ends of the pins. The links may be left unconnected to allow the train to extend behind the gown in trail, but may be easily clipped or snapped together by a cooperating pin and receptacle in the two components, to gather the train when desired. When the gown is later removed for cleaning and/or storage, the clip components may be removed for use in another gown. The clip is relatively inexpensive, and may be formed of a pliable plastic material in order to provide for the snapping together of the various components.
