Abstract
A garment attachment assembly is provided. The assembly includes a plurality of garment attachment modules each having an elongated support member, a garment attachment provided on an inner side of the support member, an accessory attachment provided on the outer side of the support member, and a coupling mechanism for coupling adjacent supports in an end-to-end configuration. Adjacent garment attachment modules can thus be coupled to adjust an overall length of the garment attachment assembly to fit a garment, and allow an accessory to be attached thereto. Corresponding method for securing an accessory to a garment is also provided.

A garment attachment assembly for attaching an accessory to a garment, the accessory having an exposed side and a hidden side, the garment attachment assembly comprising a plurality of garment attachment modules, each garment attachment module comprising:
- an elongated support member extending between first and second ends, and having an outer side and an inner side;
- a garment attachment provided on the inner side to removably secure the inner side of the support member on a portion of the garment, wherein the garment attachment includes a clamp;
- an accessory attachment provided on the outer side to removably secure the hidden side of the accessory on the outer side of the support member;
- and
- a coupling mechanism in at least one of the first and second ends of the support member, for coupling the first or second end of the support member to the first or second end of the support member of an adjacent garment attachment module, whereby coupling adjacent garment attachment modules allows adjusting an overall length of the garment attachment assembly to fit a length of the portion of the garment.
