<p>A tear-apart garment is disclosed which comprises a fabric (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) tailored to substantially surround and closely fit a portion of the body of the wearer when the body portion is in a substantially unexpanded or unstretched condition, and at least one rip seam (32, 34, 40, 42, 44, 46, 49) formed in the fabric comprising a pair of adjacent free fabric edges (52, 54) and reusable securing means (56) for repeatedly holding the free edges (52, 54) together during normal body movements, but permitting them to separate when the fabric (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) is placed in tension upon expansion or stretching of the body, causing the rip seam (32, 34, 40, 42, 44, 46, 49) to burst open. The securing means (56) may comprise a separable fabric fastener strip, (58, 60) such as VELCRO, of relatively narrow width. </p> |
