With regards to the preferred fit/length of pants, this invention solves problems such as coordinating pant length with shoe height. It is also useful for those individuals who have difficulty finding clothing, such as pants, that fit with the exception of length, such as those that are tall or long in stature; or for an adjustment needed in the garment for preferred fit/length either in torso, leg, or arm Furthermore, this invention could be of use to parents of children who may be experiencing growth spurts as it could increase the life of various garments.

    • DESCRIPTION OF EACH FIGURE OF THE DRAWING, FIGS. 1 THROUGH 5:
  • FIG. 1—front view and portion of back view of preferred embodiment of accessory, according to one embodiment of the invention, and illustrating a means of attachment by a series of clamp-on mechanisms and incorporating an example of a possible “standard-sized” “flare-pant”-accessory.

  • FIG. 5—front view of a version of accessory, as depicted in FIG. 4, combined and applied to a bathing suit top.
    •
  • Note: FIGS. 2, 4 and 5 are for illustrative purposes and form no part of the claimed accessory and are only to illustrate varying embodiments of the accessory and/or its application thereof.
    • DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
  • One preferred embodiment as shown in FIG. 1 of the present invention would consist of a strip of a material, such as an elasticized fabric, that would form a base (1). Varying materials, such as a variety of fabric, and/or decorative items such as lace, fringe, beads, fur, trinkets, symbols, event or holiday-themed items, etc., can be added to external side of accessory (2), according to desired function and/or appearance preference. Clamp-on or clasp-on mechanisms are strategically sewn in place on the inner side of accessory's base (3) to provide a selectable fastening onto the garment. This is achieved by starting from one end of the accessory and fastening each clamp onto the pant-leg hem and working around to the ending point, which is then fitted behind the starting point and snugly fitting accessory together onto hemline, creating a decorative border extension of the pant-leg. In this embodiment, a suspender-type clasp is used. Other types of clasps or clamps or clips may alternately be employed.
  • FIG. 2 is a front view showing the removably-attachable accessory (1), as depicted in FIG. 1, applied onto one “flare-pant” leg. The accessory's topmost part covers the hemline while the fasteners clamp directly onto the circumference of the hem (2).
  • FIG. 3 is a “reversible” embodiment of the accessory wherein the fastening mechanisms are removably-attached to the accessory, for placement on either side of the accessory, and thereby having more variety of use. In this instance, a base is formed and both sides of the accessory are decorated with materials (1) & (2), and include a strip (3) as a part of the decorative quality, on which the clamp-on mechanisms can be strategically placed (4), and then fastened onto garment. When the reverse side of the accessory is used, which may have a different color or style theme, the clamp-on mechanisms are simply removed from one side and then placed on the other side of the accessory's fastening strip and then fastened onto garment.
  • Various standard sizes can be manufactured to accommodate the accessories' application upon various areas of clothing worn by women, men, and children. For example, accessories designed for pants can have standard circumferences to create size-versions such as for “straight-leg”, “boot cut”, or “flare”-styles. An embodiment of this is illustrated in FIG. 1 showing an example of a “standard” “flare-pant” pant accessory for adults measuring 25 in width (4), and, then depending upon the materials used, could measure ⅛″ to 2″ in depth (5), and 12″ to 4″ in height (6). Alternately, a “standard” “Capri-pant” accessory can be made, as depicted in FIG. 4, and could measure 20″ in width, ⅛″ to 2″ in depth, and then ½ and up to 20″ in height to cover from the knee downwards. These “standard” sizes include a circumference-length consideration accounting for possible, slight differences in the circumferences of associated “standard” pant-leg styles. Standardized sizes can be created for accessories as applicable to skirts, pants, or any type of garment, for ease of application and fit-onto said garments.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a version of accessory shape and size for other possible embodiments of the invention, such as use on Capri-style pants (3). The length is longer than the accessory in FIG. 1, and employs a sheer fabric (1) with star-shaped beads sewn onto the top external-portion (2) which, when attached to the garment, creates an entirely different style and affect.
  • Furthermore, these accessories can be diversely used. One accessory, or set thereof, can be applied to many different garments to create different styles and variety for all your clothing. For example, these accessories used in FIG. 4 can be combined and used on a different garment, such as a short skirt, shirt waistline, or onto a brassiere or bathing suit top, as illustrated in FIG. 5, wherein both accessories used for the Capri-pant legs in FIG. 4 are fitted onto a brassiere or bathing suit top (1), offering additional coverage in a stylish manner, or creating a new sexy top. Alternately, combining two accessories shorter in height, such as those shown in FIG. 1, can also be added around a brassiere, bathing suit top, or even shirt collar or sleeves to create a decorative border. In addition, coordinated accessories can simultaneously be added to both one's shirt and pant-legs to create a complete new “outfit”. There are numerous uses of the accessories and we envision manufacturing a complete line for use with all types of garments.
  • We the inventors, citizens of the United States of America believe ourselves to be the original and first inventor of this idea and form of a removably-attachable garment accessory, or improvement thereof and with diverse applications to any garment, and for which we solicit a patent; we make the following claims:
