The present invention relates generally to the field of jumpsuits. More particularly, the present invention is a drop cut one-piece jumpsuit.
A jumpsuit is a one-piece garment with sleeves and legs and typically without integral coverings for feet, hand or head. Jumpsuits are, without a doubt, a statement style. The head-to-toe, all-in-one garment creates a striking look that moves beyond a simple dress or pants and top combo, and into more fashionable territories. Jumpsuits are generally regarded as a garment of convenience, as they are simpler to wear. They are more of a put on and remove garment than an ensemble outfit. However, unless the jumpsuit has an opening on the rear (a “drop seat”), it is necessary to remove it entirely for bathroom use.
The jumpsuit made its first appearance in Vogue in Sep. 1964. Photographed by Irving Penn, the brown wool-jersey one-piece by Guy Laroche was paired with a sealskin jacket. It made a bold fashion statement and a few months later it had become a trend, with two “moon shot”-style jumpsuits in white jersey featuring as Vogue patterns in Jan. 1965.
By 1980, the jumpsuit had become so popular that the American designer Geoffrey Beene declared it “the ballgown of the next century”. But the style may have reached saturation as it fell out of favour until the early 2000s. Then in 2002, Nicolas Ghesquiere, who was at Balenciaga at the time, began experimenting with fabrics and patterns, sending an updated jumpsuit down the runway. And thus, the style was relaunched. Easy to wear, versatile and a little bit feisty, the jumpsuit has become a modern wardrobe staple.
Several prior attempts to deal with such problems have been utilized as set forth below.
United States Patent Publication No. US6944883B1 to Cuaz et. al. relates to a jumpsuit for meeting the needs of a woman. The jumpsuit has a circumferential fastener which when closed fully connects upper and lower portions of the suit. When the fastener is fully opened, the lower portion is partially separated from the upper portion. When the woman then squats, the lower portion may be pulled down the thighs away from the crotch.
United States Patent Publication No. US8898813B2 to Davis et. al. relates to a one-piece garments employing a drop seat panel configured or modified to permit the wearer to have restroom breaks or attend to other individual needs without being required to partially or fully remove the garment is disclosed. The garment has a horizontal separation at the back waistband that goes from side seam to side seam; vertical separation of the front of the garment from the back of the garment at the waistband and running down both side seams to the desired length.
However, the jumpsuits presently available do not provide easy removal function on the back side or either they deploy snaps, zippers or buttons for the purpose. Most jumpsuits require full removal from top to bottom, but the optimal point to the drop-cut jumpsuit disclosed here is the functionality of easy access to the personal region that makes restroom activity much more accessible and there is no removal required of the top part of the jumpsuit for these personal activities.
The present invention relates to a drop-cut design one-piece jumpsuit for women for fitness and fashion that has the function of easy removal of the back side with no snaps, zippers or buttons, for the purpose of going to the bathroom.
Most jumpsuits require full removal from top (neckline of jumpsuit) to bottom however the present invention aims to solve the problem by providing functionality of easy access to the personal region making restroom activity more accessible and there is no removal required at the top part of the jumpsuit for these personal activities.
The jumpsuit can be made of variety of fabric combinations including but not limited to polyester, nylon, supplex, spandex, satin, rayon, silk, cotton, hemp, and other similar materials. The jumpsuit is stitched with polyester-nylon thread that does not snap or tear and has a durable elastic that lasts long with use or laundering. The pieces are sewn together with a special cut in scoop-line along the small of the back, just above the buttocks to assure easy removal and re-use.
In an embodiment of the present invention, when the user needs access to the personal region, the person wearing the jumpsuit simply needs to reach to the backside of the jumpsuit with both hands, ensuring a reach to the elastic trim of the jumpsuit that is just along the drop-cut bottom order of the rear side of the jumpsuit underneath the bottom of the butt, as you squat down to use the restroom. It is easier.
It is an objective of the present invention to provide a jumpsuit with a drop-cut along the waist region such that it allows women to use the restroom, groom or caretake without removal of the entire jumpsuit, with no added zippers, buttons, hooks, flaps or snaps.
