An inflatable garment accessory including a body assembly and a sleeve assembly is disclosed. The body assembly includes an inflatable member that is made of a cloth material and has an interior space therein. The inflatable member may be rectangular in shape and further includes a font end. A user may then place indicia and/or designs to be accentuated on the front end of the inflatable member. The sleeve assembly includes two sleeve members made of cloth material that are mounted to opposite perimeter sides of the inflatable member. The two sleeve members form a tunnel which receive air therein. The air then inflates the inflatable member which in turn accentuates the indicia and/or design located at the front end.

A wing costume article of manufacture has a semi-rigid support structure formed in a symmetrical shape emulating a shape of a set of wings, a fabric liner formed over the semi-rigid support structure, a plurality of synthetic feathers cut from synthetic foam sheet material, the synthetic feathers cut in a variety of lengths and widths, each with a first end and a second end, the second ends fastened to the fabric liner in a manner to present the plurality of feathers outward simulating a set of natural wings, and a harness interface configured to engage the wing costume by the semi-rigid support structure to the upper back of a wearer, presenting the wing costume as the set of wings.

Embodiments provide methods of disassembling an apparel product. The methods include exposing an adhesive of the apparel product to electromagnetic energy. The adhesive is disposed at least partially between a major component and a minor component of the apparel product. The adhesive includes a polymer having a cyclodextrin moiety bonded to an azobenzene moiety. The major component forms a base portion of the apparel product and is configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer. The minor component forms a secondary portion configured to be coupled to the major component with the adhesive. The methods include separating the major component from the minor component adjoined by the adhesive.

Embodiments provide methods of disassembling apparel products. The methods include exposing an adhesive of the apparel product to a composition. The adhesive is disposed at least partially disposed between a major component and a minor component of the apparel product. The adhesive includes a material having an imine bond or an iminium bond. The major component forms a base portion of the apparel product and is configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer. The minor component forms a secondary portion configured to be coupled to the major component via the adhesive. The methods include separating the major component from the minor component adjoined by the adhesive.
