Abstract: A garment cinching belt for tightening garments around a user and for supporting articles of clothing. The garment cinching belt includes a strap having a pair of hooks on opposing ends for securing the strap to belt loops of a garment. A tightening mechanism allows a wearer to adjust how the garment is fitted to the wearer. In one embodiment, the tightening mechanism includes a pair of chains that pass through eyelets on opposing sides of the strap, that allow the wearer to pull the opposing ends of the strap together and tie the chains into a knot to fix the position. The strap may also include a pair of pins on the opposing ends for securing a first section of a garment to a second section of a garment.
