Adjustable Waist Garment Abstract of the Disclosure The present invention provides a garment which can have the waist size thereof adjusted quickly, and yet is a garment which can withstand (a) the strong washing and cleaning solutions and (b) the rigorous washing and cleaning procedures used by linen suppliers. That garment has no fasteners of the waist adjusting arrangement thereof exposed at the outer surface thereof; and that waist adjusting arrangement can provide a limited amount of automatic waist expansion in the event the wearer thereof takes an unusually deep breath, coughs heavily, sneezes heavily, over indulges at mealtime, or otherwise experiences a small increase in waist size while wearing the garment. The waist adjusting arrangement permits the upper part of the front side panel and the upper part of the rear side panel to be fold-free in each adjusted position of those side panels. Also, that waist adjusting arrangement permits those upper parts to be free of gathers and puckers in each adjusted position of those side panels. That waist adjusting arrangement includes a masking band and a confining and guiding arrangement for a portion of that band. That confining and guiding arrangement is disposed at the inner face of one of the side panels of the garment; and that masking band is secured to the other of those side panels. That masking band will prevent unlimited separation of those side panels, and a portion of that masking band will overlie and conceal any fasteners which are not overlain and concealed by the one side panel whenever the garment is given its largest waist size.
