Benefits of technology

The present invention is a new line of clothing designed for women that can be easily stored and removed when needed. The clothes are made with a special storage pouch that can be attached inside the garment. The pouch is not visible when the clothes are worn. The clothes can be dressed up or down for different events and the pouch can be used as a tag or label for the clothes. The clothes are made with special fabrics that can be worn without any further preparation. This invention allows women to have a stylish and practical way to change clothes quickly and easily.

Problems solved by technology

But these designs also required the outer garments to incorporate straps and / or other features to the outerwear to support the additional functions which may not always be desirable as a component of the outerwear but were necessary for converting the garment into a carrier.
There is a void in the art for garments which may be stored in a very small space, easily carried and not comprise additional straps, belts or other accessories which are often not desired in outerwear.
Unfortunately, a condensed easily stored complete outerwear change set has not previously been described.
