A system is provided that enables a wearer to tie a dress tie so that the ends thereof are of optimum length on the first try after a short, one-time practice session. Optimum length is assumed when the tip of large end of the tie is even with the center of the wearers belt buckle. The system necessitates creation of a line of dress ties that, except for the print design on the outer shell, are essentially identical with respect to thickness, width and length. In addition, all ties in the line must employ a dimensionally-stable internal backing fabric, to prevent stretching. Identical series of equally-spaced position markers are provided on each tie in the line so that a wearer can identify a proper starting point for beginning to knot the tie. Markers are embroidered or deposited on a portion of each tie.

An apparatus for donning hygienic gloves comprising a stack of glove sheets, a box and a dispenser. The box contains the stack of glove sheets and the dispenser removably holds the box. Each glove sheet comprises a top and bottom layer sealed together at a hand-shaped seam that defines a glove and a frangibly attached remnant portion, the bottom layer being longer the top layer at a cuff of the glove, the cuff having a hand opening therein. The box has a removable flap, preferably including a hand-shaped portion on a front panel of the box. The dispenser includes an opening preferably including a hand-shaped portion on a front panel of the box. In a preferred embodiment, the hand-shaped seam, hand-shaped flap portion, and hand-shaped dispenser opening are configured to substantially match and align.

A garment (300) includes a body-covering portion (301). A sleeve (100) is attached to the body-covering portion at a seam (310) and extends to a terminal edge (102) defining a first linear portion (104), a second linear portion (105), and a curved portion (106) spanning the first linear portion and the second linear portion. A first fastener (107) is coupled to the first linear portion on an interior side (201) of the terminal edge, while a second fastener (108) is coupled to the second linear portion on an exterior side (101) of the terminal edge. A third fastener (212) is coupled to the seam on an exterior side of the seam, while a fourth fastener (211) coupled to the seam on an interior side of the seam.
