Patent ID: 8091147

Claim:
A garment hem adjustment system, comprising: a plurality of fasteners mounted on a surface of a garment proximal to the hem of the garment, the fasteners being aligned in a first column along an inseam of the garment and in a second column along an outseam of the garment; the fasteners being spaced apart a predetermined distance corresponding to a desired adjustment of the garment hem; the lowermost fastener in the first and second columns being adapted to releasably connect to the remaining fasteners; and a pulley system comprising a plurality of rings located on the garment surface proximal to the garment hem, the rings being aligned in at least two rows between the first and second columns; and a drawstring extends through the rings so that tension exerted on at least one end of the drawstring causes the garment hem between the columns of fasteners to be drawn up evenly against the garment surface to prevent the hem from sagging when the lowermost fastener in each column is releasably connected to another fastener in the column.
