A image is printed from a source of drawing instructions. The image is reducible to pixels arranged in a plurality of ranked image lines. The system employs a storage device having compressed and uncompressed regions. Each region has a designated capacity and each is arranged to store pixels of one or more of the plurality of image lines. A drawing processor is coupled to the storage device and can be coupled to the source of drawing instructions for responding thereto. This drawing processor can store new pixels in the storage device for successively selected ones of the image lines. The drawing processor has a conditional device, a decompression device and an insertion device. The conditional device can compressively encode and move from the uncompressed region to the compressed region, a remote one of the image lines, if: a) the selected one of the image lines is in the compressed region, and b) the uncompressed region has reached its designated capacity. The decompression device can expansively decode the selected one of the image lines, if located in the compressed region. The insertion device can insert one or more new pixels according to the drawing instructions into the selected one of the image lines by storing the selected one in the uncompressed region. The printing system also has a printing engine coupled to the storage device for printing the plurality of image lines in rank order, decompressing compressed ones of the image lines from the compressed region before printing.

Printing system and method

A loose fitting garment for use as a costume on a doll or an adult is styled for presentation of a first selected costume design. The loose fitting garment includes, on one surface, a design corresponding to the style for the first selected costume design. The opposite or second surface of the garment includes a design representative of a second selected costume design. The garment is reversible to convert the costume from the first selected costume design to the second selected costume design. To facilitate a change in the costume, the garment includes a mask which is featured as a part of the costume for the second selected costume design. The mask is secured to the garment in a position to be concealed from view when the garment is presented to display the first selected costume design on the wearer. To convert the garment from the first selected costume design to the second selected costume design, the mask is withdrawn and positioned on the wearer so that the mask is suspended by the garment over the head of the wearer to overlie the face of the wearer to conceal the identity of the wearer and present an image representative of the design of the garment for the second selected costume design.

Reversible costume structure with two different costume designs

A loose fitting garment for use as a costume on a doll or a adult use is styled for presentation of a first selected character in a costume. The loose fitting garment includes, on one surface, a design corresponding to the style for the first selected character. The opposite or second surface of the garment includes a design representative of a second selected character. The garment is reversible to convert the costume from the first selected character to the second selected character. To facilitate a change in the costume, the garment includes a mask which is featured as a part of the costume for the second selected character. The mask is secured to the garment in a position to be concealed from view when the garment is presented to display the first selected character on the wearer. To convert the garment from the first selected character to the second selected character, the mask is withdrawn and positioned on the wearer so that the mask is suspended by the garment over the head of the wearer to overlie the face of the wearer to conceal the identity of the wearer and present a character representative of the design of the garment for the second selected character.
