Benefits of technology

The present invention is a garment that helps people change clothes in public. It is designed in the shape of a halter dress and can be easily worn to cover a person's clothes. The garment has a hook and handle that can be used to secure the top of the garment tightly around the person's body. The garment has side access openings that allow the person to easily remove their clothes without exposing any part of the body. It can also be used to put on underwear or replace clean clothing. The garment can be easily removed and replaced with new ones. Overall, this invention provides a convenient and comfortable way to change clothes in public.

Problems solved by technology

Since not all activities provide proper changing facilities, individuals may find themselves changing in an automobile, behind friends, or even out in the open.
Even when facilities are provided, they are typically high traffic restrooms with toilet stalls not large enough for even the most petite adult to change comfortably.
