Abstract
An apparel altering device and a method of using the same is provided. The apparel altering device has a spacer spacing apart a first and second portions. A user interested in altering an article of clothing, may gather or bunch excess material thereof to form a sack, which communicates via an opening to the remaining portion of the material. Before or after the user urges the second portion into the cavity portion defined by the formed sack, an elastic band can choke a neck portion of the sack against the spacer, whereby the article of clothing is taken in or otherwise altered, while the second portion protrudes outside the sack in a manner akin to a fashion accessory.
