Claim 1

A kit comprising a close-fitting garment including a body portion and sleeve portions, said body portion having a neck opening smaller than a wearer's head but adapted for insertion of a wearer's head when the garment is donned, said garment being essentially composed of a non-stretchable main fabric having a plurality of small loop elements on the entire outer surface thereof, with the corresponding inner surface of the main fabric being coated with resin to ensure uniformity and integrity of the main fabric, the resin coating rendering the main fabric non-stretchable, and at least one ornament having a plurality of small hook elements on a rear surface thereof adapted to engage said loop elements of said main fabric so that the ornament is separably attachable to said garment, said body portion having an upper part surrounding the neck opening, said upper part being formed of a stretchable knitted fabric to permit the wearer's head to pass through the neck opening though the neck opening is smaller than the wearer's head, said body portion further including at least one knitted body strip extending in the longitudinal direction of the body portion and each sleeve portion including a knitted sleeve strip extending in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve portion, said body strip and sleeve strips being formed of a stretchable fabric, whereby, despite the non-stretchable character of the main fabric and the close-fitting cut of the garment, the garment is easily donned and no active movement is prohibited thereby.
