The present subject matter relates to a robe that provides additional support.
In prior art, sleeves tend to be heavy and are restrictive in nature. They are bulky and time consuming to rollup. They do not stay in position and hinder movement.
The prior art doesn't have any interior support and continually falls open when you bend over. Robe belts are bulky, become dirty, and are generally in the way when they are tied in the front.
While prior art such as U.S. Pat. No. 6,059,633 exist, it does not utilize a two-tie system which allows for tying in the back.
The present subject matter is a kimono style robe (both full and short length) that allows you full support and secures tightly with two ties. It allows you to be active and move about freely without constantly retying the robe.
The sleeves are adjustable so that you can go from full coverage to full range of motion with one button.
The built-in tie bra 20 allows for adjustable support while getting ready or lounging around the house.
There is a two-tie loop 15 function in the front that allows the robe to be synched, bringing in the material at the waist and tying in the back, so it does not dangle in the sink or get in the way like a front tie would. The robe can also be tied in front if preferred.
The adjustable sleeves 10 bustle with one button 5 for ease of lifting arms to do hair, makeup or whatever is necessary around the house.
Snaps or clip closures also are a feature that help ensure that the robe does not shift or open while you are being active.
This provides the coverage and style of a kimono robe but can easily adjust to allow for full range of motion.
In some embodiments the bra is a halter top as opposed to a traditional support.
