ABSTRACT:
The invention is a garment. The garment is at least one sheet of flexible material having portions which drape over the wearer's shoulders, upper chest and upper back. The sheet has a center and at least one peripheral edge, an axis passes from the peripheral edge through the center to the peripheral edge opposite the center. The sheet has at least two slots formed at least partially through the axis. The at least two slots, which are between the center and the peripheral edge, are for receiving at least one arm of the wearer. The sheet has at least one inner edge formed about the center defining a central hole for insertion of the wearer's head.
A preferred embodiment of the garment has at least one slot disposed on each side of the center, the slots being disposed substantially equidistant from the center and between the center and the peripheral edge. Alternative embodiments of the present invention include: the material at least at the inner edge of the central hole being elastic; at least one slot extending substantially parallel with the peripheral edge; and, the sheet of material having an access slit extending from the central hole at least partially toward the peripheral edge.
