Abstract: An adjustment system having a configuration capable of adjusting a length of a section of a garment. The adjustment system advantageously includes at least one section of material upon which the adjustment system is incorporated. The section of material includes an attachment portion, a first portion, a second portion, and a middle portion or flap. The flap is positioned between the first portion and the second portion and the attachment portion is positioned generally adjacent to the second portion and the flap. The adjustment system includes an extensible member that extends between the first portion and the second portion, and thereby forms the flap by generally biasing the first portion and the second portion towards one another and bulging the middle portion.
