Abstract
Abstract A convertible women's ensemble capable of satisfying a range of apparel requirements, a single ensemble making it possible for the wearer to be appropriately dressed for active wear, for informal and formal occasions and for rain or shine. The ensemble is constituted by a long jacket and a pair of slacks, the jacket being preferably fabricated of waterproof material and having a removable hood in sac form equipped with a drawstring, whereby the hood is usable as a carrying bag. The jacket includes a removable liner which when removed functions as a long skirt to replace the slacks which are then stored in the carrying bag.
