Abstract
An elastic belt allows blousing of the lower portion of an upper garment. The belt comprises a longitudinally stretchable strip which is wrapped around the torso of the body and secured with a hook-and-loop fastener component. The belt comprises an inner surface having a high coefficient of friction with the garment material. The outer surface of the belt comprises a matching hook-and-loop fastener component. The hem of the upper garment can be tucked under the inner surface of the belt from the lower side of the belt to form a bloused hem.
