An article of apparel is comprised of an outer fabric shell defining a body portion and arm portions. The body portion has a back panel section and one or two front panel sections. A thermally insulating liner is secured to the back panel section and the one or two front panel sections by tack fasteners which may form permanent or detachable connections and these connections are positioned at predetermined locations along peripheral edges of the liner. The connections provide for the liner to have large un-attached peripheral areas to provide free floating displacement of the liner with respect to the outer fabric shell when worn by a wearer person to reduce restraint of movement of the wearer person's arms and body by the outer shell and liner and thereby enhancing the wearer person's freedom of movement. In a further embodiment the tack fasteners are detachable wherein the liner can be worn as a sleeveless insulating vest and wherein the vest is provided with adjustable tie means about its arm holes, neck and bottom openings to provide sealing thereof against a wearer person's body to maintain body heat.

A method and apparatus to convert clothing for sexual interest, bondage and power play. The clothing includes convertible dresses, convertible jacket or convertible skirt. An outer layer of the clothing is formed of a rigid layer to serve as a restraining element in bondage or power play for sexual interest. An under base layer can be formed of a flexible material to protect the skin from undesired friction from the outer layer. Fastening and release mechanisms are used for coupling the under base layer to the outer layer and removal of the under base layer from the outer layer. The fastening and release mechanisms can be used to expeditiously detach the under base layer from the outer layer without the need to manipulate the outer layer. The under base layer can be decoupled from the outer layer transforming the garment into sexual paraphernalia, such as a bondage cage.
