Conclusion

A decorative garment strap is described. Although specific implementations are illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement which is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific implementations shown. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations. For example, although described in terms of women's clothing, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that implementations can be made for males and young females that provide the required function.

In particular, one of skill in the art will readily appreciate that the names of the methods and apparatus are not intended to limit implementations. Furthermore, additional methods and apparatus can be added to the components, functions can be rearranged among the components, and new components to correspond to future enhancements and physical devices used in implementations can be introduced without departing from the scope of implementations. One of skill in the art will readily recognize that implementations are applicable to future garments, different decorative apparatus, and new straps.

The terminology used in this application is meant to include all garments, straps and decorative apparatus and alternate technologies which provide the same functionality as described herein.
