Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a two-piece kimono, which is a kimono separated into upper and lower parts. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a two-piece kimono that is divided into a top and bottom for ease of dressing is described in the following patent document. The two-piece kimono described in patent document 1 (hereinafter referred to as the "Publication 1 invention") has a top separated into left and right halves. Therefore, the Publication 1 invention is easy for an assistant to handle and put on, for example, when putting on a physically disabled wearer.

[0003] In the two-piece kimono described in Patent Document 2 (hereinafter referred to as the "Publication 2 Invention"), the undergarment worn inside the kimono is sewn to the inside of the bottom garment in advance. Therefore, the Publication 2 Invention looks good because the position of the undergarment does not shift relative to the bottom garment. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3196534 [Patent Document 2] JP 2020-45587 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] As mentioned above, two-piece kimonos require both ease of putting on and beauty, so it is necessary to achieve both.

[0006] The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has as its object to provide a two-piece kimono which is both easy to put on and beautiful. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the two-piece kimono of the present invention is a two-piece kimono having a top and a bottom, wherein the right front part and the left front part of the front body of the top are pre-sewn together with the left front part overlapping the outside of the right front part, the back part of the top is divided into a right rear part and a left rear part, and the right rear part and the left rear part of the top can be opened and closed freely via a hook-and-loop fastener for the top.

[0008] The two-piece kimono of the present invention has a right collar piece located at the upper end of the right back part of the top garment, and a left collar piece located at the upper end of the left back part of the top garment, and is characterized in that the right collar piece and the left collar piece can be opened and closed freely via an attachment / detachment means that allows them to be attached and detached in a unique, aligned position so that they appear to be one piece when closed.

[0009] The two-piece kimono according to the present invention is characterized in that the length of the top is such that the lower end of the top forms a hem when the top is fastened with an obi.

[0010] The two-piece kimono according to the present invention is characterized in that it has an obi part which is sewn to the undergarment in advance, and a hem part which protrudes from the lower end of the obi part.

[0011] The two-piece kimono of the present invention is characterized in that, when worn, the lower end of the upper garment is in a first wearing state in which it is inside the lower garment when worn, or in a second wearing state in which the lower end of the upper garment is outside the lower garment when worn.

[0012] The two-piece kimono of the present invention is characterized in that the lower garment has a waist side portion and a hem side portion extending downward from the waist side portion, the right front waist portion and the left front waist portion of the front body at the waist side portion are pre-sewn together with the left front waist portion overlapping the outside of the right front waist portion, the back body at the waist side portion is divided into a right rear waist portion and a left rear waist portion, thereby forming an opening in the back body at the waist side portion, the right front hem portion and the left front hem portion of the front body at the hem side portion are overlapped without being sewn to the outside of the right front hem portion, and the right rear hem portion and the left rear hem portion of the back body at the hem side portion are pre-sewn closed and sewn together.

[0013] The two-piece kimono according to the present invention is characterized in that the obi portion has a hook-and-loop fastener for fastening the obi portions together.

[0014] The two-piece kimono of the present invention is characterized in that the right rear part and the left rear part of the back body of the lower garment are closed and sewn together in advance, the front body of the lower garment is divided into a right front part of the lower garment and a left front part of the lower garment, the hook-and-loop fastener for the obi is attached to the outer surface of the right end part of the obi and the inner surface of the left end part of the obi, and the obi is fastened via the hook-and-loop fastener for the obi in a state in which the left front part of the lower garment overlaps the outside of the right front part of the lower garment, the outer surface of the right end part of the obi overlaps the inner surface of the obi, and the inner surface of the left end part of the obi overlaps the outer surface of the obi.

[0015] The two-piece kimono according to the present invention is characterized in that the obi portion has an adjuster for adjusting the waistline at a location other than the upper part of the front body of the lower garment. Effect of the Invention

[0016] A typical kimono is put on from behind, and therefore it is difficult for a physically disabled person who cannot lift their arms or put their arms behind their back to put it on.

[0017] The two-piece kimono according to the present invention has a top and a bottom, and the top right front part and the top left front part of the front body of the top are sewn together in advance with the top left front part overlapping the outside of the top right front part, and the back body of the top is divided into the top right rear part and the top left rear part, and the top right rear part and the top left rear part can be opened and closed freely using a top hook-and-loop fastener. The wearer can put on the top by putting both arms through from the front of the body, so it is easy to put on. In addition, since the front body is already in the left front state (i.e., the top right front part is inside and the top left front part is outside. This is the correct state for putting on a kimono), there is no need to adjust the collar. For example, even a foreigner who is not familiar with putting on a kimono can easily achieve a neat collar. Therefore, both ease of putting on and beauty are achieved.

[0018] If the fastening means for the back of the top were a zipper or button made of metal or resin, it could be a burden to the skin. For example, a wearer with weakened tactile sense would not be able to notice if a rigid part kept touching them.

[0019] Therefore, the top of the present invention is opened and closed via a hook-and-loop fastener. The hook-and-loop fastener is flat and flexible, so it puts less strain on the skin when it comes into contact with the body. Also, for a wearer with a deformed spine or who has instruments or tubes attached to the body, a hook-and-loop fastener that can be attached and detached in various positions and partially removed is convenient for avoiding interference with the instruments and passing the tubes through the outside of the top.

[0020] Although hook-and-loop fasteners are convenient, they can be put on and taken off in a variety of positions. Therefore, if the collar parts, which are separate along with the right and left rear parts of the jacket, were also made of hook-and-loop fasteners, the relative positions of the collar parts would change each time the jacket was put on or taken off, and the left and right collar parts could become misaligned.

[0021] The two-piece kimono of the present invention has a right collar piece located at the top of the right rear part of the jacket, and a left collar piece located at the top of the left rear part of the jacket, and can be opened and closed freely via a fastening means that allows the right and left collar pieces to be attached and detached in a unique, aligned position so that they appear as one piece when closed. Buttons and hooks are examples of fastening means that allow the collar pieces to be attached and detached in a unique position. Each collar piece closed by these fastening means has a unique position, so the collar always has a beautiful shape.

[0022] Women wear the kimono with a hem underneath the obi, but it is difficult to make the hem look beautiful.

[0023] Therefore, the length of the top of the two-piece kimono of the present invention is such that when the top is tied with the obi, the bottom end of the top will be in the hem. In other words, since the length is a predetermined length, when the obi is wrapped around the top in a normal position, the bottom end of the top that is sticking out from the obi will naturally be in the hem. Therefore, it is easy to put on and looks beautiful at the same time.

[0024] The two-piece kimono of the present invention has an obi section sewn to the bottom garment in advance, and a hem section that protrudes from the lower end of the obi section. When the wearer puts on the top garment by tucking the lower end of the top garment inside the bottom garment, the obi section appears to be located at the boundary between the top garment and the bottom garment, so there is no need to wrap the obi around the garment later or adjust the obi section. Furthermore, there is no need to make a hem section, which is generally difficult. This makes it both easy to put on and beautiful.

[0025] The two-part kimono according to the present invention is in a first state where the lower end of the upper garment is inside the lower garment, or in a second state where the lower end of the upper garment is outside the lower garment. That is, the state of dressing is selected to suit the wearer of various body shapes. For example, when the lower end of the upper garment is too long to be a hem, the first state of dressing is selected. In the first state of dressing, the lower end is hidden inside the lower garment, and at the same time, the obi and hem of the lower garment are exposed to the outside. On the other hand, when the length of the lower garment is too long and the position of the obi and hem is too high as a result of adjusting the length to the feet, the second state of dressing is selected. In the second state of dressing, the obi and hem are hidden inside the upper garment, and at the same time, the lower end of the upper garment is exposed to the outside, forming a hem. In either case, the top is either tucked inside or outside the bottom, and in either case, the hem is pre-formed, making it both easy to put on and beautiful.

[0026] The lower garment is worn by putting it on through the legs like trousers, but some wearers are physically disabled and unable to put them on by themselves.

[0027] In the two-piece kimono according to the present invention, the lower garment has a waist side portion and a hem side portion extending downward from the waist side portion, the right front waist portion and the left front waist portion of the front body at the waist side portion are sewn together in advance with the left front waist portion overlapping the outside of the right front waist portion, the back body at the waist side portion is divided into a right rear waist portion and a left rear waist portion, so that an opening is formed in the back body at the waist side portion, the right front hem portion and the left front hem portion of the front body at the hem side portion are overlapped without being sewn to the outside of the right front hem portion, and the right rear hem portion and the left rear hem portion of the back body at the hem side portion are sewn together in advance. Since the back body at the waist side portion is open, if the wearer, for example, while lying on a bed or sitting in a wheelchair, slightly raises his / her legs, an assistant can put the lower garment on the wearer by putting his / her legs through the opening. After the wearer's legs are put through, the buttocks of the wearer are placed in the opening, so there is no need to lift the buttocks to put them on. On the other hand, because the bottom part is closed, the clothes do not come loose.

[0028] In the two-piece kimono of the present invention, the obi parts have hook-and-loop fasteners for fastening the obi parts together. The hook-and-loop fasteners allow the obi parts to be fastened together at any length, making it possible to wear the kimono according to the wearer's physique.

[0029] In the two-piece kimono according to the present invention, the right rear part and the left rear part of the lower garment are closed and sewn together in advance, the front part of the lower garment is divided into the right front part of the lower garment and the left front part of the lower garment, and the hook-and-loop fastener for the obi is attached to the outer surface of the right end part of the obi and the inner surface of the left end part of the obi, and the obi is fastened via the hook-and-loop fastener in a state in which the left front part of the lower garment overlaps the outer surface of the right front part of the lower garment, the outer surface of the right end part of the obi overlaps the inner surface of the obi, and the inner surface of the left end part of the obi overlaps the outer surface of the obi. Since the hook-and-loop fastener for the obi is arranged in a position where the obi can be fastened only in the left front state, if the wearer tries to fasten the obi with the hook-and-loop fastener, it will inevitably be in the left front state. In other words, in a state other than the left front state (i.e., the left front part of the upper garment is inside and the right front part of the upper garment is outside), the obi will not be fastened, so there is no risk of putting it on incorrectly.

[0030] Generally, the front of the kimono, the front body and the back of the kimono, are painted with a pattern, and it is important to make the pattern look beautiful, so the kimono is dressed so that there are no wrinkles on the front body and the back of the kimono. However, since the obi is already sewn to the lower garment, when the obi is fastened to fit the wearer's waist, it may be pulled by the obi and cause wrinkles on the front body and the back of the kimono. It is fine to fasten the obi so that there are no excessive wrinkles on the front body and the back of the kimono, but if the obi is not fastened tightly around the waist, the lower garment may fall off, and even if it does not fall off, the wearer may be worried about it falling off unintentionally or feel uncomfortable that it does not fit around the waist.

[0031] Therefore, in the two-piece kimono of the present invention, the obi has an adjuster for adjusting the waistline in a position other than the upper part of the front body of the lower garment. By fastening the obi to a degree that does not cause excessive wrinkles in the front body or the back, the pattern can be made to look beautiful, while by adjusting the fastening of the obi to the waist with the adjuster, anxiety and discomfort are eliminated. Even if wrinkles are created by adjusting the adjuster, the adjuster is located in a position on the obi other than the upper part of the front body, so the position where the wrinkles are created is at least not the front body, but somewhere other than the front body.

[0033] A two-piece kimono according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 show the top 2 of a two-piece kimono 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows the front of the top 2, and FIG. 2 shows the back of the top 2. FIGS. 3 to 5 show the bottom 18 of the two-piece kimono 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 shows the front of the bottom 18, and FIGS. 4 and 5 show the back of the bottom 18. In the following description, the front of the wearer (not shown) wearing the two-piece kimono 1 is the front, the back is the back, the right side is the right, and the left side is the left, based on the wearer (not shown) (see FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIG. 1, the right side based on the wearer is the left side on the paper, and the left side based on the wearer is the right side on the paper).

[0034] As shown in Figs. 1 to 5, the two-piece kimono 1 is different from a general kimono in that it is a kimono that is divided into upper and lower parts in advance, and is composed of an upper garment 2 and a lower garment 18. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the upper garment 2 has sleeves 10 sewn to both the left and right ends of the body part (hereinafter, the body part of the upper garment 2 will be referred to as the "upper body part") 3, and a collar part 11 is sewn to the upper body part 3. The upper body part 3 is composed of a front body part, which is the front side, and a back body part, which is the back side. The front body part has a right front part 4 of the upper garment (left side of the paper in Fig. 1) and a left front part 5 of the upper garment (right side of the paper in Fig. 1). The left front part 5 of the upper garment is sewn to the right front part 4 of the upper garment in advance, overlapping the outside of the right front part 4 of the upper garment (see seam 50 in Fig. 1). The back part is divided into a right back part 6 of the upper garment and a left back part 7 of the upper garment. The upper garment right rear portion 6 and the upper garment left rear portion 7 can be freely opened and closed by being attached and detached via a top hook-and-loop fastener 8. The top hook-and-loop fastener 8 is vertically linear and is sewn from the top end of the back body to near the bottom end. The bottom end of the back body has a non-hook-and-loop fastener section 9 where the top hook-and-loop fastener 8 is not sewn.

[0035] The collar 11 is sewn from the top of the back body to the front of the front body. More specifically, since the back body is divided into the right back part 6 and the left back part 7 of the jacket, and the front body is divided into the right front part 4 and the left front part 5 of the jacket, the collar 11 is also divided into a right collar part 12 and a left collar part 13. The right collar part 14 of the right collar part 12, located at the top of the right back part 6 of the jacket, and the left collar part 15 of the left collar part 13, located at the top of the left back part 7 of the jacket, can be opened and closed freely via a fastening / detaching means 16. The fastening / detaching means 16 is, for example, a snap button, and when the right collar part 14 and the left collar part 15 are closed, they are aligned in a unique position so that they appear as one piece. In other words, the right collar piece 14 and the left collar piece 15 look like a normal collar that is not divided in two (see FIG. 1).

[0036] As shown in Figs. 3 to 5, the lower garment 18 has a belt 35 sewn to the upper end of the body part (hereinafter, the body part of the lower garment 18 will be referred to as the "lower body part") 19. A belt hook-and-loop fastener 36 for fastening the belt parts 35 together is sewn to the belt parts 35 (see Fig. 5). Thus, the belt parts 35 are made of a material that allows the belt hook-and-loop fastener 36 to be attached and detached. An adjuster 37 for adjusting the waist is sewn to the belt part 35. The adjuster 37 is located in a part of the lower garment 18 other than the upper part of the front body. Specifically, the adjuster 37 is located on the left side of the belt part 35 (the right side of the paper in Fig. 3). The belt part 35 has a hem part 41. The hem part 41 is sewn to the lower end of the belt part 35 in a state where it overhangs the lower end of the belt part 35 in imitation of a hem. The lower body portion 19 has a front body portion on the front side and a back body portion on the back side, and is further divided into a waist side portion 20 on the upper side and a hem side portion 21 on the lower side extending downward from the waist side portion 20.

[0037] There are various ways to make the hem 41. In a typical kimono, the hem is a bag-like part that hangs down over the waist cord when the kimono is tucked up around the waist to fit the wearer's height and fastened with the waist cord, and when the obi is fastened from above, it protrudes from the bottom of the obi. Therefore, the cloth around the waist is made up of three layers: an inner cloth part that overlaps the body (or undergarment), a middle cloth part that is folded down by the waist cord and overlaps the outside of the inner cloth part, and an outer cloth part that is folded back at the bottom end of the middle cloth part, extends upward, and overlaps the outside of the middle cloth part, and is fastened with the obi. In a typical kimono, the top and bottom are connected and not separated, so the length of the hem depends on the length of the kimono, and it is difficult to balance the two. On the other hand, the two-piece kimono 1 is divided into the top 2 and bottom 18, and the hem 41 of the bottom 18 is prefabricated without being fastened with a waist cord, so the hem 41 can be any length regardless of the length of the bottom 18. For example, if the outer fabric portion that forms the exterior is made to a suitable length and the middle fabric portion is sewn to the inner fabric portion, the length of the hem 41 does not depend on the length of the bottom 18.

[0038] As shown in Fig. 3, the front body has a lower garment right front part 22 and a lower garment left front part 23. Of the front body, the waist side right front part 24 which is the lower garment right front part 22 of the waist side part 20, and the waist side left front part 25 which is the lower garment left front part 23 of the waist side part 20 are sewn together in advance with the waist side left front part 25 overlapping the outside of the waist side right front part 24 (see seam 51 in the figure). Also, of the front body, the hem side right front part 26 which is the lower garment right front part 22 of the hem side part 21, and the hem side left front part 27 which is the lower garment left front part 23 of the hem side part 21 are overlapped without being sewn together with the hem side left front part 27 outside the hem side right front part 26.

[0039] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the back body has a bottom right rear portion 28 and a bottom left rear portion 29. Of the back body, the waist side right rear portion 30 which is the bottom right rear portion 28 of the waist side portion 20, and the waist side left rear portion 31 which is the bottom left rear portion 29 of the waist side portion 20, are separate and not sewn together, and an opening 32 is formed as a slit in the waist side portion 20 of the back body. Also, of the back body, the hem side right rear portion 33 which is the bottom right rear portion 28 of the hem side portion 21, and the hem side left rear portion 34 which is the bottom left rear portion 29 of the hem side portion 21 are closed and sewn together in advance (see seam 52 in the figures).

[0040] Here, the adjuster 37 of the belt portion 35 will be described with reference to the drawings. An enlarged portion of the adjuster 37 is shown in Figs. 6 and 7. As shown in Fig. 6, the adjuster 37 is, for example, a belt-shaped rubber band. One end of the adjuster 37 is sewn to the belt portion 35, and a hook-and-loop fastener 38 for the adjuster is sewn to the other end. Therefore, when the belt portion 35 is secured by the adjuster 37 in a folded state, the belt portion 35 is shortened by the amount of overlap.

[0041] Next, the putting state of the top garment 2 and bottom garment 18 will be described with reference to the drawings. The putting states are shown in Figures 8 and 9. There are two putting states, with Figure 8 showing a first putting state and Figure 9 showing a second putting state.

[0042] 8, in the first wearing mode, when a wearer puts on the two-piece kimono 1, the lower end 17 of the top 2 is inside the bottom 18. Since the obi 35 of the bottom 18 is exposed, the obi 35 is placed at the boundary between the top 2 and the bottom 18. Since the hem 41 is sewn to the obi 35 in advance, the hem 41 is also exposed, forming a hem.

[0043] As shown in Figure 9, in the second wearing state, when the wearer is wearing the two-piece kimono 1, the bottom end 17 of the top 2 is exposed outside the bottom 18. The top 2 is fastened with a separate obi 39, not the obi part 35 of the bottom 18. At this time, the bottom end 17 of the top 2 protrudes downward from the obi 39, and this bottom end 17 becomes the hem. In other words, the length of the top 2 is calculated and designed in advance so that the bottom end 17 will become the hem when the top 2 is fastened with the obi 39.

[0044] The two-piece kimono 1 is constructed as described above. Next, the effects of the two-piece kimono 1 will be described.

[0045] As described above, the left front part 5 of the top 2 is sewn to the right front part 4 at the seam 50 in advance while overlapping the outside of the right front part 4, so the front body of the top 2 is already in a left-front state (see FIG. 1). Therefore, there is no need to adjust the collar. For example, even a foreigner who is unfamiliar with dressing can easily achieve a neat collar. This achieves both ease of dressing and beauty.

[0046] The back of the top 2 can be opened and closed freely by attaching and detaching the top right rear section 6 and the top left rear section 7 via a top hook-and-loop fastener 8 (see FIG. 2). Therefore, the wearer can put on the top 2 by putting both arms through the fastener from the front of the body, making it easy to put on. In addition, the top hook-and-loop fastener 8 is flat and flexible, so it puts little strain on the skin when it comes into contact with the body.

[0047] The collar 11 of the jacket 2 is made up of a right collar piece 14 located at the top end of the jacket's right back section 6 and a left collar piece 15 located at the top end of the jacket's left back section 7, which can be opened and closed freely via fastening and detaching means 16 such as snap buttons (see Fig. 2). When the right collar piece 14 and the left collar piece 15 are fastened together via the fastening and detaching means 16, the right collar piece 14 and the left collar piece 15 assume a unique position that makes them appear as one piece (see Fig. 1). Since each collar piece 14, 15 closed by the fastening and detaching means 16, which allows them to be fastened and detached in a unique position, has a unique position, the shape of the collar is always beautiful.

[0048] In the bottom garment 18, the waist side right front portion 24 and the waist side left front portion 25 of the front body are sewn together in advance by seams 51 with the waist side left front portion 25 overlapping the outside of the waist side right front portion 24, so the front body does not open unintentionally (see FIG. 3). On the other hand, the hem side right front portion 26 and the hem side left front portion 27 of the front body are overlapped without being sewn together with the hem side left front portion 27 being overlapped with the outside of the hem side right front portion 26, so that the hem side left front portion 27 opens up, making it look like a natural kimono, and the patterns and colors of the lining can be seen in and out, making it beautiful (see FIG. 3).

[0049] In the bottom garment 18, the waist side right rear part 30 and the waist side left rear part 31 of the back body are separated without being sewn together, and an opening 32 is formed as a slit in the waist side part 20 of the back body (see Figs. 4 and 5). Therefore, if the wearer slightly raises his / her legs while lying on a bed or sitting on a wheelchair, an assistant can put the bottom garment 18 on the wearer by putting the wearer's legs through the opening 32. After the wearer's legs are put through, the wearer's buttocks are placed in the opening 32, so there is no need to lift the buttocks to put the bottom garment on. Meanwhile, the hem side right rear part 33 and the hem side left rear part 34 of the back body are sewn closed in advance by the seam 52, so the bottom garment will not come loose (see Figs. 4 and 5).

[0050] The bottom garment 18 has a belt 35 sewn to the upper end in advance, and a belt hook-and-loop fastener 36 for fastening the belt 35 together is sewn to the belt 35, and the belt 35 is made of a material that allows the belt hook-and-loop fastener 36 to be attached and detached (see FIG. 5). Therefore, the belt 35 can be fastened to each other at any length via the belt hook-and-loop fastener 36, so that the garment can be worn according to the wearer's physique.

[0051] An adjuster 37 such as a rubber band is sewn to the obi 35 of the bottom garment 18, and a hook-and-loop fastener 38 for the adjuster is sewn to the adjuster 37 (see Figs. 6 and 7). By fastening the obi 35 to a degree that does not cause excessive wrinkles on the front body or the back of the garment, the pattern can be made to look beautiful, while by adjusting the fastening of the obi 35 around the waist with the adjuster 37, the anxiety or discomfort of the bottom garment 18 falling off unintentionally can be eliminated. Even if wrinkles are caused by adjusting the adjuster 37, the adjuster 37 is located on the left side of the obi 35 (see Fig. 3), so that the wrinkles will at least be generated on the right side, not on the front body. Therefore, the beauty of the front body and the back of the garment is not marred.

[0052] The two-piece kimono 1 can be in a first wearing state (see FIG. 8) in which the lower end 17 of the top 2 is inside the bottom 18, or in a second wearing state (see FIG. 9) in which the lower end 17 is exposed outside the bottom 18. That is, the wearing state can be selected to suit the wearer of various body shapes. For example, if the lower end 17 is too long to be used as a hem, the first wearing state is selected. In the first wearing state, the lower end 17 is hidden inside the bottom 18, and at the same time, the obi part 35 of the bottom 18 is exposed outside, and the hem part 41 sewn to the obi part 35 in advance is also exposed. Therefore, the hem does not become unnaturally long, and there is no need to make a hem, which is generally difficult. Therefore, both ease of wearing and beauty are achieved. On the other hand, if the length of the bottom 18 is too long and the position of the obi part 35 and the hem part 41 becomes too high as a result of adjusting the length to the feet, the second wearing state is selected. In the second wearing state, the obi 35 and the hem 41 are hidden inside the top 2, and at the same time, the bottom end 17 of the top 2 is exposed to the outside, and the top 2 is fastened with the obi 39, so that the bottom end 17 becomes the hem. In either case, the top 2 is either tucked inside or outside the bottom 18, and in either state, the hem is already formed, so that both ease of wearing and beauty are achieved.

[0053] The bottom garment 18 has the obi portion 35 already sewn to its upper end, so when the lower end portion 17 of the top garment 2 is tucked inside the bottom garment 18 in the first putting on state, the obi portion 35 appears to be located at the boundary between the top garment 2 and the bottom garment 18 (see FIG. 8). Therefore, there is no need to wrap the obi around it later, nor is there any need to adjust the obi. This achieves both ease of putting on and beauty. If necessary, the obi 39 can be wrapped around the obi portion 35.

[0054] Since the length of the top 2 is a predetermined length, when the obi 39 is wrapped around the top 2 in a normal position in the second dressing state, the bottom end 17 of the top 2 sticking out from the obi 39 naturally becomes the hem (see Figure 9). This achieves both ease of dressing and beauty.

[0055] Next, a two-piece kimono 201 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 10 shows the front of the top 202 used in the two-piece kimono 201 according to the second embodiment, and Figures 11 and 12 show the front of the bottom 218 of the two-piece kimono 201 according to the second embodiment. Note that the following mainly describes the configuration that differs from the two-piece kimono 1 according to the first embodiment, and a description of the same configuration as the two-piece kimono 1 is omitted.

[0056] As shown in Fig. 10, the upper garment 202 has a left front portion 205 and a right front portion 204 that are not sewn together, and has a string 240 for closing the left front portion 205 and the right front portion 204 of the upper garment. The string 240 is sewn to the inside of the left front portion 205 of the upper garment and to the right collar portion 212 of the right front portion 204 of the upper garment. As shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the bottom garment 218 differs from the bottom garment 18 in that the right front portion 222 and the left front portion 223 of the bottom garment are separated and not sewn together at the front body, and the right rear portion and the left rear portion of the bottom garment at the back body are closed and sewn together in advance.

[0057] The belt hook-and-loop fastener 236 is attached to the outer surface of the right end portion 242 of the belt portion 235 and the inner surface of the left end portion 243 of the belt portion 235. When the lower garment 218 is worn, the lower garment left front portion 223 is placed on the outside of the lower garment right front portion 222, the outer surface of the right end portion 242 of the belt portion 235 overlaps with the inner surface of the belt portion 235, and the inner surface of the left end portion 243 of the belt portion 235 overlaps with the outer surface of the belt portion 235, and the belt portion 235 is fastened via the belt hook-and-loop fastener 236.

[0058] As described above, the two-piece kimono 201 is constructed. Next, the effects of the two-piece kimono 201 will be described.

[0059] The belt part 235 has a belt hook-and-loop fastener 236 attached to the outer surface of the right end 242 and the inner surface of the left end 243 of the belt part 235. Since the belt hook-and-loop fastener 236 is located at a position where the belt part 235 can be fastened only in the left front state, if the wearer tries to fasten the belt part 235 with the belt hook-and-loop fastener 236, it will inevitably be in the left front state. In other words, since the belt part 235 will not be fastened in a state other than the left front state (the right front state), there is no risk of putting on the garment incorrectly. Furthermore, when the string 240 of the left front part 205 of the jacket and the string 240 of the right front part 204 of the jacket are tied, the jacket naturally becomes left front, so there is also no risk of putting on the garment incorrectly.

[0060] The two-piece kimono 201 can be in either the first or second wearing state, just like the two-piece kimono 1, and the wearing state can be selected to suit wearers of various body shapes. Therefore, it is both easy to wear and beautiful.

[0061] In other embodiments of the present invention, the fastening means is a hook and loop fastener, a button and a buttonhole, a hook, or the like. In other embodiments, the bottom end of the top may be any length. In another embodiment, the lower garment does not have an obi portion or a hem portion. That is, in the case of a yukata, a hem portion is not necessary. In other embodiments, the bottom garment has a waistband but no hem. In another embodiment, the right front waist portion and the left front waist portion of the front body at the waist side of the lower garment are not sewn together in advance. In another embodiment, the right rear waist portion and the left rear waist portion of the rear panel at the waist sides of the lower garment are closed, and no opening is formed in the rear panel at the waist sides. In another embodiment, the right front hem portion and the left front hem portion of the front body at the hem side of the lower garment are sewn together in advance. In other embodiments, the strap has snap fasteners, buttons and buttonholes, hooks, or the like. In other embodiments, the strap does not have an adjuster. In another embodiment, there is no non-hook-and-loop fastener portion, and the hook-and-loop fastener for the upper garment is sewn to the lower end of the back body.

[0062] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various design modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
