DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS
While the invention may be embodied in various forms, there are shown in the drawings, and will hereinafter be described, some exemplary and non-limiting embodiments, with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific embodiments illustrated.
Referring now to FIGS. 1-62, various embodiments showing configurations of garments are shown. Some or all of the illustrated embodiments may share one or more features, but may also differ in one or more respects.
FIGS. 1A-H illustrate a first embodiment of a garment 10 in the form of a hospital gown or medical garment, showing various views during a process of putting the garment on. The garment 10 includes a top portion 20, a front leg portion 30 attached to, such as sewn to, or formed with the top portion 20, a rear leg portion 40, and a saddle portion 50 that connects the rear leg portion 40 to the front leg portion 30.
To put the garment 10 on, the wearer puts on the top portion 20, with the rear leg portion 40 and saddle portion 50 held in front of the wearer as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B. In the illustrated embodiment, the top portion 20 and the front leg portion 30 are formed together. In other embodiments, the top portion and the front leg portion may be separately formed, and sewn or attached together. Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the top portion of the hospital gown or medical garment is attached using one or more ties in the back of the wearer, as best shown in FIG. 1D. However, other forms of attachment are possible as well.
After the top portion 20 is put on, the wearer pulls the rear leg portion 40 and the saddle portion 50 through his or her legs, as shown in FIGS. 1C, 1D, 1E, and 1F. FIGS. 1C and 1D illustrate side and rear perspective views of the wearer with the garment partially put on. FIGS. 1E and 1F illustrate rear and front head on views.
After the rear leg portion 40 and saddle portion 50 are pulled through the wearer's legs, the wearer then pulls a waist portion 42 attached to an end of the rear leg portion 40 around the sides of the wearer's waist, and ties the waist portion together in front as shown in FIG. 1G.

In some examples, the top portion 20 of the garment 10 may include snaps or other fasteners that enable the front, rear, or sides of the top portion 20 to be opened. This enables easier access, such as for positioning a heart monitor or other medical equipment. Further, the top portion 20 may include a pocket, either formed as a part of the top portion 20 or configured to attach to the top portion 20 via a snap or other fastener. The pocket may be configured to receive medical equipment such as monitoring equipment or other electronics.
