The covering up structure 28 is a panel 34, extending upwardly between a bottom edge and the waist location of the two segments 18, 20 of the vertically split rear portion 16 of the body garment 12.

The securing component 30 includes a first strap 36 affixed at one end to one side of the front portion 14 of the body garment 12 at the waist location. A second ~trap 38 extends outwardly from a first side 39 of the panel 34 at the waist location, ~o that the free ends of the first and second straps 36, 38 can be tied together.
