Abstract
A method and apparatus for manufacturing a belted garment includes: placing a first belt half and a second belt half in a partially overlapping relationship such that first end regions of the first and second belt halves contact each other in a region of overlap, and second end regions of the first and second belt halves remain uncovered; releasably joining together the first end regions to create a temporary laminate; bringing a first surface of a carrier web and the temporary laminate into mutual contact such that the first surface of the carrier web contacts the laminate in the region of overlap of the first end regions of the belt halves, and causing at least a portion of the second end region of the first belt and second belt halves to contact a second surface of the carrier web.
