This invention is an improved skirt holder to enable a single belt to be used for any number of skirts and to hold a skirt in place and relieve strain on the waist band of the skirt, the object of my invention being to provide an improved device of this character which is simple in construction and which can be readily removed from one skirt and attached to another.

The invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying, drawings Figure l is a perspective view of a skirt holder constructed and arranged in accordance with my invention, and showing the same applied to a skirt.

Fig. 2 is a detailed elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the same.

In the embodiment of my invention I provide a plate l which may be of the form here shown or of any other suitable form, and which is adapted to be arranged on the inner side of a skirt, at the waist band. The plate is provided near its ends with spaced openings 2 through which a belt 3 passes. By reason of such construction and belt threading arrangement, the plate may be made to more perfectly conform throughout its length to the shape assumed by thev belt when the latter is drawn about the Waist and adjusted in position because such a provision of belt connection with the plate maintains the plate ends inktrue adjustment with the Specification of Letters Patent.
