[Technical field]

[0001] This specification discloses technology relating to a two-piece yukata. [Background technology]

[0002] Two-piece yukata have been proposed to allow people to casually enjoy wearing yukata. Patent Document 1 describes a two-piece yukata that combines a one-piece dress and a top. The two-piece yukata of Patent Document 1 allows people to wear it in multiple ways, including a Western-style one-piece dress without a top, and a Japanese-style one-piece dress combined with a top. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3205203 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] With two-piece yukata, there was a demand to more faithfully reproduce the look of a traditional yukata when worn with Japanese clothing, without compromising ease of use when worn with Western clothing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The two-piece yukata in one embodiment disclosed in the present specification comprises a top and a cache-coeur one-piece. The top has a first collar line. The top is a length up to the waist-up part. The cache-coeur one-piece has a second collar line extending from the waist to the front hem. According to this embodiment of the two-piece yukata, when the cache-coeur one-piece is combined with the top in Japanese clothing, the first collar line appears above the waist and the second collar line appears below the waist, so that a seam that does not look out of place as the collar line of a traditional yukata can be reproduced. In addition, when the cache-coeur one-piece is combined with the top in Western clothing, the second collar line can be made to look like a pleat, so that a design that does not look out of place as Western clothing can be ensured. This allows the appearance of a traditional yukata to be reproduced more faithfully without compromising usability when wearing Western clothing.

[0006] In the two-piece yukata of the above-mentioned form, the top may have a first center back. In this form, the cache-coeur one-piece may have a second center back that extends from the back hem to at least the waist. According to this form of two-piece yukata, when the cache-coeur one-piece is combined with the top in Japanese clothing, the first center back appears above the waist and the second center back appears below the waist, recreating a seam that does not look out of place as the center back of a traditional yukata. In addition, when the cache-coeur one-piece is combined with the top in Western clothing, the second center back can be made to look like a pleat, ensuring a design that does not look out of place as Western clothing. This allows the appearance of a traditional yukata to be reproduced more faithfully without compromising usability when wearing Western clothing.

[0007] In the two-piece yukata of the above-mentioned form, the cache-coeur one-piece may have a V-shaped cut in the back collar. With this form of two-piece yukata, when the top is combined with the cache-coeur one-piece and worn, the back collar of the cache-coeur one-piece can be prevented from being seen.

[0008] In the two-piece yukata of the above-mentioned form, the cache-coeur one-piece may have a locking mechanism that detachably locks the vertical end of one front body to the inside of the other front body below the waist. With this form of two-piece yukata, the front of the cache-coeur one-piece can be prevented from coming undone even if the wearer moves as if wearing Western clothing.

[0009] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to two-piece yukata, but can also be realized in the form of tops and cache-coeur dresses, as well as manufacturing methods for these. [Brief description of the drawings]

A back center 120s, which is a seam that extends in the vertical direction in the middle between the left and right sides of the back, is formed between the right back body 122 and the left back body 124. The back center 120s is a seam formed by sewing the right back body 122 and the left back body 124 together.

[0017] The collar 130 of the top 100 is a portion around the neck of the top 100. The collar 130 is formed from the right front body 112, through the right back body 122 and the left back body 124, and over to the left front body 114.

[0018] The raised waist section 140 of the top 100 is a section sewn together to imitate the raised waist section of a traditional yukata. The length of the top 100 is up to the raised waist section 140.

[0019] The right sleeve 150 of the top 100 is the right arm portion of the top 100. The right sleeve 150 is sewn to the right front body 112 and the right back body 122.

[0020] The left sleeve 160 of the top 100 is the left arm portion of the top 100. The left sleeve 160 is sewn to the left front body 114 and the left back body 124.

[0021] The waist string 180 of the top 100 is a string-like portion for fastening the top 100 to the wearer's body. The center portion of the waist string 180 is sewn to the upper waist portions of the right back body 122 and the left back body 124.

[0022] Fig. 3 is a front view showing one piece 200 of the two-piece yukata 10. Fig. 4 is a back view showing one piece 200 of the two-piece yukata 10. Fig. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the inside of one piece 200 of the two-piece yukata 10.

[0023] The one-piece dress 200 of the two-piece yukata 10 is a cache-coeur type one-piece dress, i.e., a cache-coeur one-piece dress. The one-piece dress 200 is a garment that imitates the lower body part of a traditional yukata. The one-piece dress 200 has an upper right front body 212, an upper left front body 214, an upper back body 220, a waist part 240, a lower right front body 272, a lower left front body 274, a lower right back body 276, a lower left back body 278, waist strings 282, 284, and a locking mechanism 290.

[0024] The upper right front body 212 of the one-piece dress 200 is the right front portion of the upper body of the one-piece dress 200. The upper right front body 212 is formed with a right front collar 232 which is the right front neckline portion. The right front collar 232 is hidden under the top 100 when the top 100 is worn over the one-piece dress 200. A cuff 250 is formed between the upper right front body 212 and the upper back body 220, through which the right arm is exposed.

[0025] The upper left front body 214 of the one-piece dress 200 is the left front portion of the upper body of the one-piece dress 200. The upper left front body 214 is formed with a left front collar 234 which is the left front neck area. The left front collar 234 is hidden under the top 100 when the top 100 is worn over the one-piece dress 200. A cuff 260 is formed between the upper left front body 214 and the upper back body 220 for putting out the left arm.

[0026] The upper back body 220 of the one-piece dress 200 is the back portion of the one-piece dress 200. The upper back body 220 is formed with a back collar 236, which is the neck area on the back side. The back collar 236 is formed in a V-shaped cut. When the top 100 is worn over the one-piece dress 200, the back collar 236 is hidden under the top 100. This prevents the back collar 236 of the one-piece dress 200 from being visible when the top 100 is worn over the one-piece dress 200. In another embodiment, the back collar 236 may be a crew neck.

[0027] The waist portion 240 of the one piece dress 200 is a waist portion of the one piece dress 200. In the waist portion 240, the upper right front body 212 and the lower right front body 272, the upper left front body 214 and the lower left front body 274, the upper back body 220 and the lower left back body 278 and the lower right back body 276 are sewn together.

[0028] The lower right front body 272 of the one-piece dress 200 is the right front portion of the lower body of the one-piece dress 200. The lower right front body 272 is formed with a collar line 272s, which is a seam that extends in the vertical direction from the waist portion 240 to the front hem 272b. When the one-piece dress 200 is worn, the vertical end portion 272e of the lower right front body 272 is hidden behind the lower left front body 274.

[0029] The lower left front body 274 of the one-piece dress 200 is the left front portion of the lower body of the one-piece dress 200. The lower left front body 274 is formed with a collar line 274s, which is a seam that extends in the vertical direction from the waist portion 240 to the front hem 274b. When the one-piece dress 200 is worn, the vertical end 274e of the lower left front body 274 appears on the outside.

[0030] The lower right back body 276 of the one piece 200 is the right rear portion of the lower body of the one piece 200. The lower left back body 278 of the one piece 200 is the left rear portion of the lower body of the one piece 200. A back center 277s, which is a seam that extends in the vertical direction in the middle of the left and right sides of the rear, is formed between the lower right back body 276 and the lower left back body 278. The back center 277s is a seam formed by sewing the lower right back body 276 and the lower left back body 278 together. In other embodiments, the one piece 200 does not need to have a back center 277s.

[0031] The waist strings 282, 284 of the one-piece dress 200 are string-like portions for fastening the one-piece dress 200 to the wearer's body. The waist string 282 is sewn to the upper right front body 212. The waist string 284 is sewn to the upper left front body 214. Between the upper left front body 214 and the upper back body 220, an opening 242 is formed for passing the waist string 282 through.

[0032] The fastening mechanism 290 of the one-piece dress 200 is a mechanism that releasably fastens the vertical end portion 272e of the lower right front body piece 272 to the inside of the lower left front body piece 274 below the waist portion 240. This prevents the front of the one-piece dress 200 from coming undone even if the dress is moved as if it were Western clothing. In this embodiment, the fastening mechanism 290 is a fastening mechanism using buttons and buttonholes. In other embodiments, the fastening mechanism 290 may be a fastening mechanism using strings or a fastening mechanism using hooks and loops. In other embodiments, the one-piece dress 200 may not have the fastening mechanism 290.

[0033] According to the two-piece yukata 10 described above, when the one-piece dress 200 is combined with the top 100 to be worn in Japanese style, the first collar line 114s appears above the waist 240, and the second collar line 274s appears below the waist 240, recreating a seam that does not look out of place as the collar line of a traditional yukata. When the one-piece dress 200 is worn in Western style without the top 100, the collar line 274s can be made to look like pleats, ensuring a design that does not look out of place in Western style clothing. This allows the appearance of a traditional yukata to be reproduced more faithfully without compromising usability when worn in Western style.

[0034] Furthermore, according to the two-piece yukata 10, when the one-piece dress 200 is combined with the top 100 for Japanese wear, the first back center 120s appears above the waist 240, and the second back center 277s appears below the waist 240, recreating a seam that does not look out of place in the center back of a traditional yukata. When the one-piece dress 200 is worn in Western style without the top 100, the back center 277s can be made to look like pleats, ensuring a design that does not look out of place in Western wear. This allows the appearance of a traditional yukata to be reproduced more faithfully without compromising usability when worn in Western style.

[0035] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, example, and modification, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiment, example, and modification, those corresponding to the technical features in each form described in the summary of the invention can be appropriately replaced and combined to solve some or all of the above-mentioned problems or to achieve some or all of the above-mentioned effects.
