Abstract: A detachable waistband for a garment consisting of a first band which matingly engages a second band. Each band is formed of two parallel elongate strips of conjoined material. Each band has an exterior surface, a first end, a second end, and an interior surface accessible through a flap-like opening positioned intermediate the first end and the second end and extending for substantially the length of the first band. An exterior tape fastener is affixed to the exterior of each hand adjacent both the first end and the second end. At least one interior tape fastener is affixed to the interior of each band. The exterior tape fasteners of the second band matingly engage the exterior tape fasteners of the first band thereby securing the first band and second band around a person's waist. The interior of the first band and the interior of the second band receive a portion of a garment.
