An article of apparel comprising a first segment and a second segment of substantially similar shape, each having at least two side margins parallel to a central line and at least one margin at an angle to the central line. One segment has flap extensions along selected margins for folded securement to the other segment thus forming a garment with folded external seams. In a three segment embodiment, one panel is constructed from two similarly shaped half-width segments that are overlapped to form an openable panel, with resealable closure means. In another two panel embodiment, both half width panels are partially overlapped to form a central 2-ply area, portions of which are bonded together in a region that becomes the rear panel. After rear portions of the bonded segments are folded in half over and around a transverse fold line, front and rear panels are connected with side flaps. The overlapped area in the front panel remains unbonded to form an opening which is secured by resealable tapes or equivalent means.

[ I claim:] [1.] An article of apparel comprising a first segment and a second segment,said first segment having co-extensive flaps along selected margins,said second segment being smaller than said first segment, having substantially the same shape, and being superposed against said first segment,said first and second panel segments being connected by folding and bonding said flap extensions along at least two margins which are substantially parallel to a central line that bisects the article of apparel into two symmetrical half portions, and at least one flap folded around a margin at an angle to said central line,said folded extensions of said first segment enclosing said second segment to create external seams along said margins.
