Devices for tightening apparel items, comprising flexible base expanses extending longitudinally. In some examples, the base expanses define first surface and second surfaces opposite the first surface, with the first surface being adapted to interfacially engage with a surface of the apparel item. Some examples include tightening members attached to the base expanse at an attachment point. Some examples include couplers disposed on the second surface, the couplers being attached to the base expanse between the second longitudinal end and the attachment point and configured to couple with the tightening member. Some examples include elastic tightening members. In some examples, apparel items may be tightened by fastening a device to an apparel item at a first fastening point and a second fastening point, moving the first fastening point toward the second fastening point, and coupling a coupler to a tightening member. |
