A neck strap force distribution device includes a first surface disposed facing a back of a neck of a user and a second surface disposed opposite the first surface. It further includes a pair of entry holes from the first surface to the second surface disposed approximately one-third of a vertical length of the device from an upper edge of the device. At least one exit hole from the second surface to the first surface is disposed approximately one-third of the vertical length of the device from a lower edge of the device. The first surface comprises a pliable material that at least partially conforms to the back of the neck of the user, and the second surface resists movement of a garment string that passes from the first surface through one of the pair of entry holes over the second surface and through the exit hole.

A seamless garment constructed out of a single piece of material will allow for a reduction in manufacturing costs and a lengthened life of the garment due to its simplicity of design and lack of seams. The garment may consist of a single piece of material divided into two panels by a pair of cuts, each extending toward the other, partway through the body of the piece of material. The garment may be secured to the body of a wearer via a variety of attachment mechanisms.

An upper torso article of clothing having a skirt with a body, and inner and outer edges. Extending from the inner edge are first and second joining edges that have a common vertex. A belt has first and second belt edges, an exterior face, an interior face, and belt fasteners. A section of the belt is fixed to the first and second joining edges. The skirt is joined to the interior face at the section respectively, whereby the first belt edge is fixed to the first and second joining edges, and the second belt edge is fixed to the skirt. The belt has first and second belt ends. The first belt end extends from the inner edge a first predetermined distance, the second belt end extends from the inner edge a second predetermined distance, and the first and second predetermined distances are not equal.

The present invention provides an adaptable apparel for use by people with limited physical capacities and in health care settings. This disclosure provides clothing that may be combinable from set and preformed pieces by the aid of buttons, zippers, or other latching mechanisms such as Velcro brand locking aids.
