ABSTRACT:
An expansion unit for clothing generally having seams. The unit is of a one-piece construction and is generally located on one seam-side of a garment; the other seam-side of the garment being the receiving end of an expander section associated with the expansion unit. The expansion unit is bi-directional in scope and easily and effortlessly contracts and expands as needed. In the preferred embodiment, in either state, a single seam is exposed while no component of the expansion unit is plainly visible. In the contracted state, the expander section is retained and hidden from view under the clothing worn. In the expanded state, the expander section is exposed and coupled to the opposite seam-side of a garment. All pieces are removably held in place by fasteners of the hook-and-loop type, snap type, button type, hook-and-eye type, and zipper type.
