Abstract (en)

The invention provides a device capable of incorporating into or attachable to a garment to provide a non-linear waistband. The device includes a body (120) having a perimeter defined by an upper side (112) and a lower side (111) with respect to the garment when incorporated, the lower side having a greater length than the upper side, the body being shaped to define a middle portion (130) that bends upward to two distal ends (131,132). The garment has a non-linear waistband (210) such that a front section (211) is lower than a back section (214) and two side sections (212, 213). The two distal ends are arranged to hold the two side sections of the garment, and the middle portion is arranged to hold the front section of the garment. A tension force is applied by the two side sections to hold the back section in place when the wearer is bending forward.
