Benefits of technology
The patent text describes three garment construction techniques that can be applied to mesh materials made by a grid of multiple spiders and rings. These techniques provide improved performance over current methods and can create unobtrusive gathers or adjustable-length straps without damaging the fabric. These techniques may be particularly useful in fashion and decor fabrics.
Problems solved by technology
However, though mesh material may now be perceived as aesthetically pleasing and may be appreciated as desirable for use in fashion and home furnishings, the conventional techniques used in producing fashion items and protective gear do not provide the variety of looks desired by the fashion and design industries due to the lack of mesh construction techniques.
Though mesh material may share some similarity in function, form, and use with woven, non-woven, or knitted fabric, it cannot be sewn like a typical fabric.
For example, seams, buttonholes, pleats, flutes, gathers, and darts, which are easy to sew into woven, knitted, or non-woven fabric, cannot be sewn into the mesh material.
Current techniques in use for mesh material cannot produce ruching to allow the mesh to adapt to the shapes of the human body, cannot create gathering to create ruffles or to increase drape or to reduce an expanse, and do not allow for attachment, disconnection, and reattachment of portions of a garment.
For example, using current mesh material techniques, it is not possible to sew a seam to gather an edge or to sew buttonholes to receive buttons to adjust the length of a strap.

Embodiment Construction
[0040]Shown throughout the figures, the present invention is directed toward three garment construction techniques for use with mesh material and includes an application to a dress-type garment. The mesh material of the prior art, as shown in FIGS. 20-22 includes a grid of multiple spiders 20 and multiple rings 30. Each of the spiders 20 has four legs 21A, 21B, 21C, 21D (FIG. 22) fixedly attached to, or formed integrally with, a central body 29. As seen in the detail of FIG. 22, in forming the mesh, a leg 21 may be opened to receive a ring. Then the distal portion of the leg 21 is curled inward and closed to form an open conduit or leg channel 27 (FIG. 22) within the curl of the leg 21, which accommodates the ring 30. A portion of a ring 30 is secured within the leg channel 27 of the leg 21.
[0041]In a similar manner, the next leg 21 of the spider is connected to a second ring 30. The third and fourth legs 21 are likewise connected to a third and fourth ring 30, respectively. Thus, e...

Multiple garment construction techniques are provided. The first garment construction technique is a method of creating ruching in a mesh material. The second garment construction technique is a method to gather a mesh material to reduce the edge length or to provide a stretch mesh fabric. The third garment construction technique is a method of creating an adjustable strap suitable using a G-clasp element for use with garments of mesh material or other fashion fabrics.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This nonprovisional application claims the benefit of co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 897,779, filed on Sep. 9, 2019, which is incorporated herein in its entirety.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to garment construction techniques, and, more particularly, to construction of garments using mesh material, including gathering, ruching, draping, and fastening techniques.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Chain mail is typically a mesh made of small metal rings linked together in a pattern. Chain mail armor has existed since the third or fourth century B.C. and was originally valued for the protection it provided during battle. In the last hundred years, chain mail has been used in a protective role in gloves (such as for butchers or woodcarvers), in armor (such as in stab-proof vests or to protect divers from shark bites), and in shields or guards in industrial settings (such as in metal workin...
