The eye tape and/or the hook tape is stabilized in a vertical direction, but stretches in a horizontal direction so as to provide a comfortable and self-adjusting fit to garments. The eye tape preferably includes a soft, stretchable backing material that wraps around three edges of the eye tape and is heat-sealed to the front side.
