Abstract

An aperture in a body of a garment co-acts with a part of the garment to produce a combination of a two-dimensional image or design appearing on the garment with a three-dimensional part of the garment. The part of the garment capable of being drawn through the aperture forms a member which is a part of the two-dimensional design appearing on the garment. The part of the garment that is drawn through the aperture tends to cinch the waist of the garment about the user. An optional fastener keeps the drawn-through part of the garment from withdrawing through the aperture.
