[0009] (overview) An embodiment of the costume of the present disclosure is described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same components are indicated by the same reference numerals. A leotard, which constitutes a part of the costume, is worn by a user when exercising. The exercises performed by the user include classical ballet, dance, gymnastics, etc. Also, a leotard means a top that mainly covers the upper half of a user's body.

[0010] (First concrete example) 1(A), (B) and 2(A), (B) show a leotard 10 constituting a part of a costume. The leotard 10 has a torso 11, a pressing piece 12 attached to the torso 11, an auxiliary piece 13 attached to and detached from the torso 11, and shoulder straps 14, 15 connected to the torso 11. The materials constituting the torso 11, the pressing piece 12, and the auxiliary piece 13 can be any of kimono fabrics, such as silk, linen, cotton, wool, and polyester. The materials constituting the torso 11, the pressing piece 12, and the auxiliary piece 13 can be absorbent or quick-drying. Absorbent materials include, for example, wool, silk, rayon, cotton, and the like. Quick-drying materials include, for example, polyester, polypropylene, and the like. Furthermore, the materials constituting the torso 11, the pressing piece 12, and the auxiliary piece 13 may be antibacterial and deodorizing. For example, a method can be adopted in which an antibacterial agent is kneaded into the yarn that constitutes the material to perform antibacterial and deodorizing processing, or a method can be adopted in which an antibacterial agent is applied to the fabric of the material as a post-processing step to perform antibacterial and deodorizing processing.

[0011] The torso 11 has a front body 16 and a back body 17 connected to the front body 16. When a user 18 puts the leotard 10 on their torso, the front body 16 is in close contact with the front of the torso of the user 18 wearing it, and the back body 17 is in surface contact with the back of the torso of the user 18 wearing it. The outer surfaces of the front body 16 and the back body 17 may be plain or may be decorated with any decoration, such as a pattern, design, design, etc. The front body 16 and the back body 17 form an opening 19. When the user 18 puts on the leotard 10, a part of the torso and the neck of the user 18 are exposed through the opening 19.

[0012] The back body 17 has edges 19A, 19B, and 20 that form the opening 19. Edge 19A is arranged from the right shoulder to the front of the chest of the user 18. Edge 19B is arranged from the left shoulder to the front of the chest of the user 18 and is connected to edge 19A. Edge 19A and edge 19B are arranged in a substantially V-shape when viewed from the front of the user 18. Edge 20 is provided at a position corresponding to the back of the user 18. When viewed from the back of the user 18, edge 20 is substantially V-shaped. In this way, edges 19A and 19B are designed to resemble the collar of a kimono. Also, edge 20 is designed to resemble the folds of a kimono.

[0013] Shoulder straps 14, 15 connect the upper end of front body 16 and the upper end of back body 17. Shoulder strap 14 is placed over the right shoulder of user 18, and shoulder strap 15 is placed over the left shoulder of the user. Shoulder straps 14, 15 are made of a stretchable material. Wool, cotton, polyurethane, etc. are used as raw materials for stretchable material. A ring-shaped retainer 21 is provided at the connection point between shoulder strap 14, which is placed over the right shoulder of user 18 wearing the garment, and front body 16. The ring is made of fabric.

[0014] Fastening elements 22 and 23 are fixed to the center of the front body 16 in the left-right direction of the screen, and fastening elements 24 and 25 are fixed to the right side of the outer surface of the front body 16 from the perspective of the user 18 who wears it. Fastening element 22 is located above fastening element 23 in the vertical direction of the front body 16. Fastening element 24 is located above fastening element 25 in the vertical direction of the front body 16. Fastening elements 23 and 25 are located at the same position in the vertical direction of the front body 16. The vertical direction of the front body 16 is the vertical direction in FIG. 2(A) and is the same as the back length direction (height direction) of the user 18 who wears the leotard 10. In addition, fastening element 26 is attached to the shoulder strap 14 on the right side from the perspective of the user 18 who wears it. Fastening elements 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 are all exposed to the outside of the leotard 10.

[0015] The auxiliary piece 13 is substantially triangular and has three corners 13A, 13B, 13C and edges 13X, 13Y, 13Z. The edge 13X connects the corner 13A to the corner 13B. The edge 13Y connects the corner 13B to the corner 13C. The edge 13Z connects the corner 13A to the corner 13C. The surface of the auxiliary piece 13 is given an arbitrary pattern, design, pattern, for example, a Japanese pattern. The pattern, design, pattern, etc. given on the surface of the auxiliary piece 13 is different from the pattern, design, pattern, etc. given on the front body 16 and the back body 17. A plurality of types of auxiliary pieces 13 with different patterns, designs, patterns, etc. can be prepared. Fixing elements 27, 28, 29 are fixed to the positions of the auxiliary piece 13 corresponding to the three corners 13A, 13B, 13C. The fixing elements 27, 28, and 29 are provided on the rear surface of the auxiliary piece 13. The fixing element 27 engages with and disengages from the fixing element 26, the fixing element 28 engages with and disengages from the fixing element 22, and the fixing element 29 engages with and disengages from the fixing element 24.

[0016] The pressing piece 12 is provided on the torso 11 on the left side of the wearer 18. Specifically, the pressing piece 12 is attached near the boundary between the front body 16 and the back body 17. The pressing piece 12 has a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the front, and is connected to the torso 11 via a connecting portion 12A. The pressing piece 12 has two edges 12B, 12C, and the pressing piece 12 can be moved via the connecting portion 12A to contact the torso 11 and to separate from the torso 11. The pressing piece 12 can be in close contact with the front body 16, and fixing elements 30, 31 are attached to the surface of the pressing piece 12 that contacts the front body 16. The fixing element 30 engages with and is released from the fixing element 23, and the fixing element 31 engages with and is released from the fixing element 25. The type of the fixing elements 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31 is, for example, a snap button. The material of the fixing elements 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31 is, for example, silicon, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin (EVA: Ethylen-Vinyl Acetate), or the like.

[0017] An example of how the leotard 10 can be used is as follows. Auxiliary piece 13 is attached to front body 16 with the rest of the pressing piece 12 apart from connection part 12A away from torso 11 as shown in Figure 2(A). Auxiliary piece 13 is attached to front body 16 with the pressing piece 12 apart from front body 16. The state in which the rest of the pressing piece 12 apart from connection part 12A away from torso 11 is the second position of pressing piece 12.

[0018] Specifically, one corner 13A of auxiliary piece 13 is inserted into retainer 21, and fixing element 27 at a location closest to corner 13A engages with fixing element 26 provided on shoulder strap 14. Furthermore, fixing element 28 at a location close to other corner 13B of auxiliary piece 13 engages with fixing element 22, and fixing element 29 at a location close to other corner 13C of auxiliary piece 13 engages with fixing element 24. In this way, auxiliary piece 13 is attached to front body 16 as shown in Figure 2(B).

[0019] Next, the user 18 operates the pressing piece 12 using the connecting portion 12A as a fulcrum, and overlaps the pressing piece 12 onto the front body 16. Then, the user 18 engages the fixing element 30 with the fixing element 23, and engages the fixing element 31 with the fixing element 25. As a result, the pressing piece 12 is fixed to the leotard 10 with a part of the pressing piece 12 overlapping the outside of the auxiliary piece 13, as shown in FIG. 1(A). When the leotard 10 is worn on the torso of the user 18, the auxiliary piece 13 and the pressing piece 12 cover an area corresponding to the chest of the user 18. When the pressing piece 12 is fixed to the torso 11, it covers a part of the auxiliary piece 13. The position where the pressing piece 12 is fixed to the torso 11 and covers a part of the auxiliary piece 13 is the first position. When the pressing piece 12 is fixed to the torso 11, the edge 13X of the pressing piece 12 is arranged along the edge 19A. That is, the edge 13X and the edge 19A overlap each other. When viewed from the front by the user 18, the range in which the pressing piece 12 fixed at the first position covers a part of the auxiliary piece 13 includes the areas where the fixing elements 22, 24 are arranged.

[0020] On the other hand, when user 18 removes auxiliary piece 13 from torso 11, the procedure is as follows. First, user 18 operates pressing piece 12 relative to torso 11 to release fastening element 31 from the fastening element. User 18 also releases fastening element 30 from fastening element 23, and moves pressing piece 12 away from front body 16 as shown in FIG. 2(B). User 18 also releases fastening element 28 from fastening element 23. User 18 also releases fastening element 29 from fastening element 25 and fastening element 27 from fastening element 26, and then removes auxiliary piece 13 from front body 16 as shown in FIG. 2(A).

[0021] The user 18 can perform the tasks of attaching the auxiliary piece 13 to the front body 16, removing the auxiliary piece 13 from the front body 16, fixing the pressing piece 12 to the front body 16, and separating the pressing piece 12 from the front body 16 either when the leotard 10 is worn around the torso of the user 18 or when the leotard 10 is not worn around the torso of the user 18.

[0022] (Effects of the first concrete example) The user 18 can replace the auxiliary pieces 13 attached to the front body 16 according to the scene in which the leotard 10 is used, that is, customize the leotard 10. Therefore, the user 18 can select auxiliary pieces 13 having various patterns, designs (art), patterns, etc. according to the scene. Furthermore, the user 18 can wear the leotard 10 by combining designs of his / her choice, not a fixed design, and can widen the range of expression of "dance". In addition, the material of the fixing elements 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 is, for example, silicone, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, etc. Therefore, when the user 18 performs the work of attaching the auxiliary pieces 13 to the front body 16 and the work of fixing the pressing pieces 12 to the front body 16 while the leotard 10 is worn on the torso of the user 18, the force pressing the fixing elements 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 on the torso can be suppressed. Therefore, the user 18 is less likely to feel pain.

[0023] Furthermore, if the surface of the auxiliary piece 13 of the leotard 10 is decorated with a Japanese pattern, the fixed notion that the leotard 10 is a Western-style design can be dispelled, and a Japanese-style design that evokes the image of Japan can be incorporated. Therefore, a new collaboration between traditional Japanese art and Western dance can be spread to the world. Furthermore, if a part of the presser piece 12 is overlapped on the auxiliary piece 13, the edges 13X, 19B resemble the overlapping of the left and right collars of a kimono, enhancing the design.

[0024] (Second concrete example) The second specific example of the costume is a combination of a leotard and a wrap skirt. FIG. 3(A) shows an example of a wrap skirt 40. The wrap skirt 40 has a plurality of pieces, for example, a first piece 41 and a second piece 42. The first piece 41 and the second piece 42 are, for example, both of a substantially quadrangular, specifically, rectangular piece of fabric. The first piece 41 and the second piece 42 each have four corners. The dimension of the long side of the first piece 41 is the same as the dimension of the long side of the second piece 42. The dimension of the short side of the first piece 41 is the same as the dimension of the short side of the second piece 42.

[0025] The first component piece 41 has a first surface 43 and a second surface 44 as shown in Figs. 3(B), 3(C), 4(A), and 4(B). The second surface 44 is located behind the first surface 43. The pattern on the first surface 43 is different from the pattern on the second surface 44. In addition, in the first component piece 41, in the vicinity of two adjacent corners 51 and 52, as shown in Fig. 3(B), one fixing element 45 is attached to the first surface 43, and as shown in Fig. 4(A), one fixing element 46 is attached to the second surface 44. In addition, a string 55 is attached to each of the corners 51 and 52.

[0026] The second component piece 42 has a first surface 47 and a second surface 48 as shown in Figs. 3(B), 3(C), 4(A), and 4(B). The second surface 48 is located behind the first surface 47. The pattern of the first surface 47 is different from the pattern of the second surface 48. The pattern of the first surface 47 is different from the pattern of the first surface 43 and is also different from the pattern of the second surface 44. The pattern of the second surface 48 is different from the pattern of the first surface 43 and is also different from the pattern of the second surface 44. In the second component piece 42, in the vicinity of two adjacent corners 53 and 54, as shown in Fig. 3(B), one fixing element 49 is attached to the first surface 47, and as shown in Fig. 3(C), one fixing element 50 is attached to the second surface 48. Also, a string 55 is attached to each of the corners 53 and 54. The fixing elements 45, 46, 49, and 50 are, for example, snap buttons, and the fixing elements 45, 46, 49, and 50 are made of, for example, silicon, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, or the like.

[0027] The wrapping skirt 40 is used by overlapping the first component piece 41 and the second component piece 42. For example, as shown in Fig. 3(B), the corners 51 and 53 of the wrapping skirt 40 are aligned. The corners 52 and 54 of the wrapping skirt 40 are aligned, and the first surface 43 and the second surface 48 are brought into contact with each other. Then, the fixing elements 45 and 50 are engaged with each other, one by one.

[0028] 3(C), the corners 51 and 54 of the wrap skirt 40 may be aligned. The corners 52 and 53 of the wrap skirt 40 are aligned, and the first surfaces 43 and 47 are in contact with each other. Then, the fixing elements 45 and 49 are engaged with each other.

[0029] 4(A), the corners 52 and 53 may be aligned, and the corners 51 and 54 may be aligned, and the second surfaces 44 and 48 may be brought into contact with each other. In this case, the fixing elements 46 and the fixing elements 50 are engaged with each other, one by one.

[0030] 4(B), the corners 52 and 54 may be aligned, and the corners 51 and 53 may be aligned, and the second surface 44 may be brought into contact with the first surface 47. In this case, the fixing elements 46 and the fixing elements 49 are engaged with each other, one by one.

[0031] The wrap skirt 40 is used by wrapping it around the outside of the leotard 10 as shown in FIG. 5(A) or FIG. 5(B). The wrap skirt 40 is wrapped around the waist of the user 18 below. In other words, the wrap skirt 40 is attached to the torso below the pressing piece 12 and the auxiliary piece 13 in the back height direction of the user 18. The wrap skirt 40 can be wrapped around the outside of the second component piece 42 with the first component piece 41 overlapping as shown in FIG. 5(A). The wrap skirt 40 can also be wrapped around the outside of the first component piece 41 with the second component piece 42 overlapping as shown in FIG. 5(B). After wrapping the wrap skirt 40 around the outside of the leotard 10, the user 18 ties the four strings 55 in an appropriate manner to fix the wrap skirt 40 so that it does not slip downward.

[0032] (Effect of the second concrete example) First component piece 41 has fixing element 45 attached to first surface 43, and fixing element 46 attached to second surface 44. Second component piece 42 has fixing element 49 attached to first surface 47, and fixing element 50 attached to second surface 48. This allows user 18 to switch between a plurality of overlapping patterns of first component piece 41 and second component piece 42, for example, as shown in Figures 3(B), 3(C), 4(A), and 4(B).
