ABSTRACT:
A woman's nursing-wear garment--a dress, blouse, or nightgown--has horizonta, vertical, or diagonal openings of sufficient dimension to expose the nipple at either breast. These openings in the respective garment, specifically pertaining to the upper front portion, are of an overlap design with the fabric on one side extending over the fabric on the opposite side. This configuration leaves an opening in the form of a slit that can be readily enlarged by separation of the overlapped fabric layers at the area of the breast and nipple, to provide access for nursing. The overlap design may but need not incorporate zippers, buttons, or hook-and-loop-type fasteners. A large additional panel, attached to the respective garment at the shoulder, of coordinated design and color covers the overlap portion of the garment down to the area well below the breasts. It, in turn, provides the necessary privacy while nursing the baby.
