A device, for holding a garment waistband having at least two belt loops attached at a spaced interval thereon, has a flat, elongated elastic band which is stretchable with a slight tension across the two belt loops, and a pair of fastener components, each having a fastener end and an opposite elastic-band-mounting end that is attachable to a respective end of the elastic band. In a preferred embodiment, the fastener components are formed by metal wire bent to form a back bar for the elastic-band-mounting end and a hook-loop fastener end for hooking onto a post member mounted to the elastic band. The back bar is formed in a thin channel shape defining a concave cross-sectional gap with a thickness such that it can be seated around the exposed length of the belt loop and clasp it by its thickness between the attached elastic band at the back side and the fastener component at the front side. Since it is worn across only two belt loops, the device provides the wearer with a slimmer profile and is more comfortable to wear than a waist-length belt. The back bar elastic-band-mounting end may be formed with bar halves separated by a cut-away gap to allow a stitched tubular end of the elastic band to be sleeved on and off, thereby allowing the wearer to interchange elastic bands of different colors and styles and/or other decorative fastener components.
