Abstract

A garment adjustment system includes a first connective element removably fastened to a garment by at least a first fastener affixed to the garment in a first location. A second connective element is removably fastened to the garment by at least a second fastener affixed to the garment in a second location. A linking component is linked to the first connective element and the second connective element such that adjustment of the linking component changes a distance between the first location and the second location of the garment.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a first fastener coupled to a garment in a first location;
a second fastener coupled to the garment in a second location;
a third fastener configured for selective attachment at the first location;
a fourth fastener configured for selective attachment at the second location;
a first connective element comprising a first surface, a second surface opposing the first surface, and at least a first fastening aperture extending from the first surface to the second surface and a first lacing aperture, the first connective element being configured to removably fasten to the garment by at least the first fastener and the third fastener, the first fastener being configured to extend through the first fastening aperture, the first connective element overlaid over an exterior surface of the garment when connected to the garment such that the first surface or the second surface engages the exterior surface of the garment;
a second connective element comprising a third surface, a fourth surface opposing the third surface, and at least a second fastening aperture extending from the third surface to the fourth surface and a second lacing aperture, the second connective element being configured to removably fasten to the garment by at least the second fastener and the fourth fastener, the second fastener being configured to extend through the second fastening aperture, the second connective element overlaid over the exterior surface of the garment when connected to the garment such that the third surface or the fourth surface engages the exterior surface of the garment;
and
a connector linked to the first connective element and the second connective element such that adjustment of the connector changes a distance between the first location and the second location of the garment and provides a form fitting shape of the garment, wherein the connector is laced through the first lacing aperture and the second lacing aperture of the first and second connective elements.
